travel insurance for cancer patients

johnboy59

I am just at the end of treatment for prostate cancer and am struggling to find anyone who will provide travel insurance for myself and my wife. I have read that this is not unusual but that there are specialist companies that can help but I have been unable to find any. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Haven't used them for years, but used to be excellent.

Hope your treatment is going well.

Are you current or ex-public sector? If so, you could try the CSSC - they do a policy for over-50s and there is no requirement to declare pre-existing medical conditions.

get in touch with MacMillan .. they have, at least used to, a list of companies

Try AllClear travel insurance they are specialists in cancer patients travel insurance.

Other option is to get cover with an exclusion for that condition so at least you’ve got luggage/travel/broken leg cover. (This is what my mum did as she’s not yet 5 years clear)

I use All Clear, not cheap, but they do cover you when others don't. Good luck with this and hope your treatment concludes successfully.

I would also recommend talking to MacMillan, the help they give in a huge number of areas is invaluable.

Good Luck with what remains of your treatment and your full recovery. Take care x

After recovering from pancreatic cancer I travelled to the US and ended up using this company MIA http://www.miatravelinsurance.co.uk. It was about 3 years ago now and I think I paid about £300 for 2 weeks.

Thanks, everyone for your help All clear came up Trumps (sorry) Also thanks for your good wishes have just had my final round of 6 Chemo and to be honest it's been a walk in the park. Just hope along with the rest of the treatment it's worked. PSA down from 24 to 0.3 so fingers crossed. IF YOU ARE MALE AND OVER 45 OR SOMEONE CLOSE TO YOU IS, PLEASE GET YOURSELF TESTED I HAD NO SYMPTOMS ONLY FOUND I HAD A PROBLEM AFTER DEVELOPING A HERNIA
Thanks again

Allclear or staysure are worth getting a quote from (I see your sorted, great, but might be useful for others)
