Travel insurance after Lumpectomy
Hello all , I went through a lumpectomy 10mths ago followed by Radiation treatment (stage1). Wanting to fly to the states next year but don’t know weather do declare to the travel insurance companies anything ? One quote jumped to $1500 for my family. It’s not if I get sick over there it’s incase of a reoccurrence & I need to cancel before we go. Has anyone traveled after ?? Who did you use ??

- LifeMemberSorry to hear you’re having such a bad run. I tried covermore online & wasn’t having luck so I ended up calling them & spoke to someone. Much more able to get excactly watch you need if you speak to someone. Good luck. Wishing you all the best.Sign in to react to this post
- bronmeg1MemberHas anyone gotten travel insurance for metastatic breast cancer recently? I've done the online search with covermore & no luck. I went overseas a couple of years ago & used another insurance company after declaring my met disease (lungs), but now have bone cancer too, so need someone who will not only cover cancellation if tests come back negative (for me :( ) but also if a fall causes a fracture. All suggestions welcome.Sign in to react to this post

- LifeMemberYes was actually very surprised how backwards the insurance companies are regarding some illnesses.
It’s not like I’ll be overseas & then discover my breast cancer has come back & need medical attention overseas.Sign in to react to this post - arpieMemberI went to Norfolk Island just weeks after finishing Rads .... it was fine with Covermore.
any insurance company saying anything else is in an “Aids” time warp!! ;) (I don’t mean to offend!). Just my observation from reading some of the others’ fine print!Sign in to react to this post - LifeMemberThanks Glemmis,& Stork , I will call covermore after the weekend.Sign in to react to this post

Regards StorkSign in to react to this post - GlemmisMemberHi @Life, I have just returned from Europe & declared my cancer to Covermore. They were great, I just had to answer some extra questions. My treatment finished last year. I can't remember the cost but it certainly wasn't 1500.00. There were 3 of us!Sign in to react to this post
