Frustration with travel insurance policies, is it chemo brain or just confusing legalese?
Hi all. Yesterday a battle weary hubby and I booked an overseas trip and we have to pay the deposit tomorrow.

I was happy to read in my insurer's PDS that they…

Cancer folk are discriminated against when it comes to insurance
My daughter and I have been organising to go on a 14 night cruise to New Zealand for my 50th birthday which is next year in November. This was before I found out I had breast cancer. Now I understand how one has to get travel insurance, and to do that one has to declare all pre-existing medical conditions. That in itself…

Some will cover for breast cancer but not back issues, and vice versa. Some also have dreadful reviews on Trip Advisor etc. I finally settled on Insure and…

overseas travel
Hi everyone, Can anyone tell me which insurance company covers travelling to the UK with ABC with bones mets.
