Travel/health insurance

So, Mum and I are secheduled to visit Paris next month and I am being quoted £2000-3000 for health insurance on a price comparision site! WTF! If I had that money I would be taking her a lot further than Paris! Anyway, I am hoping someone can offer advice on the situation. She is determined to go and seems prepared to go even without insurance. I want to follow her wishes but am nervous about the responsibility it places on me as her carer.

    Hi moowens

    The travel comparison sites come up with very expensive quotes.  There was another thread a while ago in which a couple of posters recommended specialis travel insurance companies or you could google cancer travel insurance.  The premium also will depend if your treatment has finished and when.  I have an annual policy which I have had for years as it covers me for Mountain biking but when I was diagnosed with cancer they would continue to cover myself and husband but would not cover me for anything relating to my cancer so I will be having to look around for extra cover.
