Hi Lynn,

Insurancewith everytime for me. They are a specialised insurance and they've insured me everytime. I couldn't get through on their telephone number yesterday (03330051066) so filled out the online form. Got a quote straight away. Now looking forward to some sun at last. 😀

Hi Lynne, I've just taken out insurance for a trip to Prague with Insureancewith. I'm stage 4a Primary Peritoneal cancer and in remission for 15 months. It's cost me £56 - alot of detailed questions but a great company. You can also do it on the phone which I did last year to go to Portugal it cost me £80+ .Have a wonderful holiday 😊 Jan xx

Thank you so much for this information. My holiday insurance for 1 week was sky high. I will definitely try Insurancewith.

Hi I was mortified recently when looking for holiday insurance. First time with the “incurable” label, only finishing latest chemo 7 weeks ago. Stage 3 Low grade battling since Aug ‘17. Anyway previous trips were under NED period so no issues. This time for a week at the end of March to Gran Canaria, was obtaining between £450 - £650 from specialist and comparable sites. Remembered previous recommendations for Insurewith. What a life saver, yes the website/form questions go on for an age, but when you receive a comparable quote for £72.00 it’s so worth it. All I’ve had to do extra is obtain confirmation from my consultant oncologist, he has no objection to be taking the trip. Quick email, sorted. Happy Holidays 🛫🏖🍹x
