What shall I do?

[Maggiemo19]

Omg I am going around in circles and getting nowhere fast with travel insurance.

Going to Turkey early June for 2 weeks but the cheapest travel insurance quote I’ve had is £750 😡😡.

The minute you state your cancer is still there the price rockets. I had ovarian but it’s now peritoneal don’t know if this the reason.

I know this has been discussed before but I can’t find any reference to it now. If anyone can be of assistance I would be most grateful as I am very worried about travelling without insurance as I have excruciating back pain probably from caelyx.

Love to all, Maggie xx

Went with Boots and for myself my husband with a dodgey bladder and my daughter who has current ulcerative colitis came to under £300 for 10 says in Mauritus in July. Did it over phone very helpful staff. Hope you have a great time x

Eurotunnel - as long as your doctor says you are fit to travel you are covered.

I echo Harpist - Eurotunnel, you don't have to be travelling with them but they only cover Europe, so be sure to check if you are not going into the Asian part of Turkey. To give you an idea, my premium for 11 days to Gozo was £24.

They don't need to know what's wrong with you, as long as your doctor considers you're fit to travel and that you're not terminal (incurable is not the same as terminal).

I've used them twice now and also cover my husband with his stroke related problems. Give them a call.

I tried their website but could not access anything? The drop down menu only asking you if you were going on a train journey with them? Do you guys have a link at all? Thank you xx

Their phone no is 08708 50 82 99. I remember I had to phone to arrange the insurance when I wasn't travelling with them.

This is a link to the terms & conditions : eurotunnel.com/uploadedfile...

Bon voyage!

I have just got annual worldwide insurance (well, I have a rather long bucket list!) from Insurancewith. And for family of 4 it was just over £400. I had to answer over about 40 plus questions on me!

Will your Onc give you a ‘fit to fly’ note Maggie? If so get them to send it to you and wave it at the insurance companies. I found it helps xx

Ive used Boots on a few occasions over past two years but earlier in the year they wouldn’t quote me, said they had made some internal changes and to ring back June as I wasn’t travelling until August. (I,’m currently NED) I posted same question as you on this site and like above comments was recommended Eurotunnel. It was so much easier than Boots, just had to answer 4 questions. Just over £50 for a family of 4 for a week. Hope you can sort it and have a fab holiday, ☀️☀️Xx

I went with insurancewith and paid £163.00 and am on a clinical trial. I was previously quoted £930.

[twiggy66 in reply to Neona]

Thanks for the info Neona, I’m also on a clinical trial (Trametinib) tried to get insurance & was told I’m uninsurable becaus of trial & wait for it they said if I was terminal they would be able to insure me ok. X

[Neona in reply to twiggy66]

Amazing isn't it? Worth getting a couple of quotes though I was so relieved with the price at Insurance with I just took it.

[Nicky100]

Look at the cancer research advice page...there are 6-7 there tat I am looking at.

I have just done an online quote with world-first.co.uk and an annual policy for multi-trip came in around £132...?
