Looking for travel insurance for someone with a cancer diagnosis that hasn't started treatment yet. Any recommendations?

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for recommendations for travel insurance companies that will cover someone with a cancer diagnosis but who hasn’t yet started treatment. Has anyone had positive experiences with insurers in this situation?

Any advice, tips, or company names would be really appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

  • Hi Ed I got the GHIC card like you suggested.  Allclear travel quoted me £1950 for a one week trip to Portugal and £267 for an annual trip cover with Insurancewith.  I really dont know how they can be so massively different.  Are you off to Portugal in September as well, we are going to Praia da Luz hopefully.  I havent booked it yet as waiting until last minute.  Take care.

  • Hi Lee

    I hope you are doing OK. Im heartened to see that you are still planning for your trip to Portugal. I think some companies quote silly prices to get rid of higher risk clients as they simply dont want the bother. My last quotes were £900 and £1400. Ill try insurancewith.com again but by phone as online was refused a quote. I will book last minute too to fit between hospital visits.. Recent scans show no progession of cancer but I can feel a change. Back is getting more painful and I get numb fingers and weakness in my hand I wondered if you experince anything similar.  All the best Lee.
