I agree - whatever you do, shop around! 
For fewer sleepless nights, stick to the UK too. 
I went to India immediately after chemo and the insurance cost more than the flight!

HI Dave

Travel insurance can be extremly expensive especilly to North America Australia and long haul destinations. Good advice to take UK holidays. Its been fantastic weather this summer for tourists and between hospital visits we have taken several short breaks exploring our beautiful and interesting country without the need for insurance. Highly recommended.

Hi Ed,  sorry to bother you again.  I have never heard of Tavira before and have just googled it.  It does look lovely, have you been before and is it very big and busy?  I prefer smaller, quieter places.  I am not one for going to McDonalds or a chippy when I am on holiday.  It looks like some beautiful scenery and churches there and salt pans.  I just wondered what it was like and could your recommend it?  Many thanks

Hello lee

That stretch of the coast is a bit less developed than the rest of  Algarve. Tavira has no high rise buildings or chip shops or McDonalsds. It has a good range of hotels and guest houses and restaurants. You can get boats on the riverside to take you to the beach on Tavira Island for a couple of Euros. It is quite a relaxed laid back town. I dont know how busy it gets as Ive only visited off season. If you land at Faro airport it is worth spending 2 nights in Faro an interesting little town with boat trips out to the nature reserve. You can get to Faro and Tavira by bus or taxi.

Thanks Ed now have to make a decision.

HI Lee you will have a lovely time in Portugal regardless of where you choose. Im reluctant to make a recommendation as everyones expectations and requirements are different. Wishing your day ahead is a good one. Back pain has subsided today so Im off to a good start.
