Looking to travel to Spain for 1 week break away. Dad diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer and finished chemotherapy around 6 weeks again we can't however find an insurance less than £1,500. Anyone had similar problems?
We've just been quoted £92 for a week in the Canaries, which i thought was OK. Got it through Freedom Insure in the end, underwritten by AXA.
Other people tell me it gets better once you go a year without treatment or relapse!
Some of the quotes we got were more than the cost of the holiday. It's frustrating and depressing, especially at a time when you are most in need of a holiday. It's even more galling because after surgery, chemo and radiotherapy, I'm probably at less risk of needing to be flown back in an air ambulance than the average 50+ year old heading to Spain!
That sounds pretty good - worth checking the small print for exclusions though. Last year I was given a similar quote from a different company but it excluded repatriation due to any of my pre-existing conditions.
I found that each year that passes since I last had cancer treatment the lower the price of insurance.
