Hi Channy,

Welcome to Cancer Chat. Getting travel insurance after a cancer diagnosis can be difficult, but there are some companies who specialise in insuring people with known medical conditions. Like you, I shopped around when I was first diagnosed and either got a blank refusal to cover me, or offered a single holiday cover at astronomical rates.

I used to take out an annual insurance prior to this and was surprised when I contacted Stay Sure Insurance, as they still cover me annually for less than many other companies were charging me for a two week stay. If you use the search engine on the Cancer Research site you will find an article about holiday insurance. Also, if you click the search button on the blue band at the top of this page and type in holiday insurance, you will find previous discussions on the subject.

I hope that this helps and that both you and your Mum have a lovely relaxing holiday. It sounds as if you both deserve it.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on with your radiotherapy. There is always someone here whenever you feel like talking.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
