Travel Insurance
With this year's diagnosis of breast cancer travel plans with my husband to attend Malaysia's Grand Prix had to cancelled. Everything was booked and paid for and we were all but packed. Now we are ...
I am 4 year surviver. Travelled heaps before and after breast cancer with the same travel company.. Last scans showed hot spots and I had radium in Dec and started on infusions of Zemeta. Oncologist said scans in March showed Zemeta is doing it's job and he is happy to work any treatment around the trip in Sept Oct to USA and Canada for 6 weeks. We have been there many times before. Now this same insurance company said they will not insure me seeing it is not 6 months since radium. Also I have only 30 days to accept their offer to insure my husband and I for everything except cancer. I guess I could have waited until May to do the insurance but we are wanting to put deposits down now and have all paid for before then. I know there are companies who will insure even terminal cancer patients for a higher price. Where do I go to find these companies. The only ones I seem to log onto are based in England. I am 66 and my husband is 67. I was a reg nurse for 45 years so am informed about health issues. Thanks for any advice. V
