travel insurance for cancer patients

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.

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