Hi Chip48.  I have just returned from a visit to oncologist and he has given me a leaflet for www.insurancewith.com .  I have stage 4 cancer and the quotes have been too expensive.  The Macmillan nurse said if you ring them you can get it cheaper.  Hope you enjoy your holiday.

HI Lee 

Hope you are enjoying the lovely summer and getting on ok with your treatment. Ill have to try another quote from insirancewith. Ive used them several times and had reasonable quotes. However they recently refused to insure me due to type stage cancer and because I was being treated with immunotherapy drugs cemiplimab and like you denosumab. £117 is a very good premium for a week.

Hi Ed

My husband has just been turned down by insurancewith no explanation just a number to try another one, no luck so I’ve given up now it’s just not happening. 

Sorry to hear that chip.

Give the comparison site a try.

At least I got some quotes albeit expensive. 

Alternatively if your husband is OK to travel and you feel he is fit enogh just go without insurance. Your GHIC card will cover emergencies. And at worst you may need to pay for an early flight home. Hope you get your well deserved holiday.

Thanks Ed.

we have spoken about the GHIC card and decided that’s the way to go, we still have a few weeks so Ill check out a couple more but not going to worry if I can’t get any.

Thank you for your advice and help, we very much appreciate it.

Macmillan  advice is the best way they even paid my friends ins with grant I have been been turned down or offered ridiculous quotes between £895.  / £ 1500.for a week in  Spain but  my oncologist has said no flying or cruise as risk to infection with a immune system that is very low
