Insurance

[battybev]

Hi everyone, its a long story but my husband was diagnosed with sclc last august. To shorten the story we had a few relationship problems prior to this and the mortgage cover is only in my name. Without wanting to sound awful dies anyone know if u can get insurance if y are already diagnosed. For my piece if mind.

Hello Bev

Insurance cover can be complex after a cancer diagnosis. It may be worth contacting a the Insurance brokerage, British Insurers Brokers Association, and see if they can recommend a source of good advice.

Financial and legal advice is a practical thing to address but can be tricky emotionally to discuss. MacMillan also produce a useful leaflet on this subject,

hope that is of some use, but do give our helpline a call on Freephone 0333 323 7200 option 2 if you want to talk anything through,

best wishes
