Going abroad

Hi guys, so last chemo session next Wednesday and I go abroad for a well needed holiday - it's a surprise for my mum whom has looked after me for the last 5 months during my treatments. 

My quick question is regarding travel insurance - I am having radiotherapy after my holiday so still will be having treatment for my cancer. Therefore, what's the best situation for travel insurance. I have looked into specialist travel insurance and it's three times as much as the holiday cost.

    Searching for previous threads is good advice.

    Shop around but be wary of any that sound too good to be true as they may exclude the very condition that you need to insure. I've used InsureWith and AllClear in the recent past. I've struggled to get an annual policy due to my uncertain prognosis but single trip below 31 days has been easy enough.

    Oh and bear in mind that the USA is about the dearest place on the planet to visit so far as travel insurance with cancer is concerned. 

    Good luck!

    Thanks Dave, I have found out a lot now from reading through other people's threads. 

    Hope everything is going well for you
