It was pre-COVID so the pricing is irrelevant now however we did get extra insurance.
Like you we have insurance through (my hubbie’s) work but I was worried and took out Blue Cross too.
The most important thing seems to be having your doctor sign off that you are stable for a minimum of 3 months and you are on maintenance and not active treatment. At the time I had been on Ibrance /Fulvestrant for 2 years and so she had no problem signing off, that was January 2020.
I haven’t been stable since August 2021 so we travel within Canada only, map out cancercare facilities for our trips.
We looked at going state side this summer and staying within a 16 hour drive from the nearest Canadian cancercare. It didn’t happen cause I changed treatment in August; I knew something was not good in June when I needed scans. There was also the issue that both of my sons moved in the summer and we wanted to help.
Don’t imagine I will be traveling any time soon as I am now slated for spinal surgery.
Please let me know if you are successful with getting coverage as fingers crossed I do have years of travel ahead 🤞and coverage is a must especially when cruising.
Thanks for the reply. I am future tripping because I am on LTD at work, so still have insurance for 2 more years. I have been stable on same medication and no changes for 4 years and thinking positive and believing I will be travelling in 2 years. I love getting away, Hope all goes well with spinal surgery and a trip is in your future
