Hi @MargaretTurner, apparently a company called All Clear provides insurance if your metastatic but I haven't checked it out. I believe it is insanely expensive and I don't know if it covers medical evacuation. You would need to check.
Medical evacuation is incredibly expensive. A friend who couldn't get travel insurance for a pre existing heart condition went to Greece to see his mother. Unfortunately he had a stroke and required medical evacuation back to Australia. That cost over $400,000. 00. His family set up a go fund me account, drew on their superannuation, sold what they could and also went into debt to get him home.
I love travelling so much. It has been an enormous part of my life but being metastatic now I am just travelling in Australia and will consider medical reciprocated countries. I am limited to my 28 day treatment cycle now but I do get around. Off to NZ for 2 weeks in October.
Happy travels
