Hi charleyf, and welcome, the one most cancer patients se is www.insurancewith.com good luck and happy holidaying.

Try a quote from https://www.insurancewith.com
The company was set up by a woman with cancer fed up with ridiculous high street quotes because they did not want the cistom. Ive used them for 10 years now. Ive got no affiliation with them. You can get an online quote without any info being transferred until you accept the quote. The form asks all the relevant questions for your condition. Or by telephone but costs 20% more. My last quote was Switzerland 5 days £90 to include medical insurance. Shortly after I had surgery. My other half with Crohns disease paid £28. These quotes were well under the mainstream insurers with better medical cover. I have a 20% discount code SEPTNEWS use this. There are a few more companies recently set up offering similar cover. Enjoy your holiday.
thank you..sounds good
Hi Charley,
Shop around - I’ve alternated between insurancewith and allcleartravel in recent years.
Sometimes one is cheaper, sometimes the other - also check annual cover vs single trip.
At times I’ve had annual cover for about 1.5 times that of a fortnight’s cover - at other times they’ll both only quote for single trip - depending on my comorbidities (I have several lol).
Good luck!
Dave
thank you Dave, I will do..
Hi .
I have breast cancer and travel next week before treatment . I got best quote from insure and go. All questions answered about surgery and radiotherapy.its dual one with husband who has medical issues best quote we got 175 for 7 nights. When we go in December that will drop to 70 for two weeks because I will have had my surgery and it's classed as removed even though I'll be starting radiotherapy on my return. Also noticed the quotes fluctuated daily. Get plenty of quotes. Good luck and enjoy your holiday xx
aww thank you so much, that's geat prices! we only found out about hubby's cancer results today, got a quote from staysure..£190 for 10 days in Lanzarote, but will look better tomorrow..wishing you all the best with your treatment
I can only reiterate what Gareece said about getting plenty of quotes with a warning about small print.
if a price looks too good to be true, it probably is!
Some scumbag insurance companies will give you an unexpectedly low premiums.
That happened to me once but luckily I smelled a rat. My cancer, ulcerative colitis, high blood pressure and diabetes had all been excluded from cover!
All the things I NEEDED cover fir.
