Hi alison ...

I had the same problem ... I had mastectomy last July. . No chemo or radiotherapy ... so I wanted xmas in Florida ... insurance was a nightmare .. no one I knew would put cancer and Florida together ... even though I was on no treatment ... so I wanted to go so much ... they would cover me just for accidents ( non cancer related) and the things if they had no cancer in ... 

I had a wonderfull time and so glad I took the chance but I'm not advising anyone to do what I did ... it is frustrating and I wish there was somewhere that would help after cancer ... I've booked Florida again for this xmas ... but got everything crossed and we go really carefull ... no skydiving for me lol ...

There are other holidays in Europe where there's more cover ... maybe better to go somewhere there for this year for you both ... just try look on positive side ... he's come so far on this journey we find our selfs on ... and there's a lot of choice nearer home... and you could think of Florida another time ... when his energy levels are up ..  Chrissie x

Hello Simplyalison,

After all you've been through, you definitely deserve a holiday and Florida does sound like an exciting destination. I thought I'd share with you this link to our information page on travel insurance. This is a topic that frequently comes up in our forum in our Practical Matters topic area. If you do a little search by typing 'travel insurance' in the forum search engine, you will be able to see all past threads on the subject and there may be some helpful suggestions in there.
