Has anyone been able to get travel insurance whilst taking Ibrutinib & Venetoclax ? Is it classed as chemotherapy? Thanks

Hi. I am on third line Venetoclax and BP meds and we are travelling to family in Germany for Christmas. I suggest you try holidaysafe.co.uk

I've never used them before but we had to postpone a trip from November til Christmas and there was no problem with the insurance, just a small admin fee. Reviews are good.

Best of luck. Jeff

Hi there, I managed to get travel insurance no problem whilst on these meds with SureStay. It’s not officially chemo but of course is viewed in very much the same way by insurers. The main issue for insurance companies is that the person isn’t travelling against medical advice, isn’t terminally ill and isn’t waiting on the results of medical tests.

Allianz’ travel product, at least in some jurisdictions, has a pre-existing conditions waiver as long as you insure the whole trip. As with any product of this type, if you end up cancelling your trip, you will need a statement from your doctor or hospital indicating you could not travel.

my understanding is that they are chemotherapy drugs and must be declared as such. Hope this helps.
