Going abroad

Channy

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!

    We used All Clear for my husbands insurance on our recent trip to Bali. His was around 450 but this was mainly becausw he was still on chemo and has a portacath fitted. We bank with Nationwide and their flexi plus account is amazing - we will need to pay a little bit extra for my husband but ita included in our account. Will let you know how we get on when we go to spain in october!
