Help with travel insurance when you have been affected by cancer

Cancer is a disease which affects the cells in your body and there are many different types of cancer which affect different cells.

The commonality between different types of cancers is that the cells are all abnormal and multiply at an increased rate.

There are vast differences between the different types of cancer, so it is important that you know exactly what type of cancer you have, and details such as whether it has spread and how the cancer is being treated. This will enable us to give you an accurate quotation.

Once diagnosed with cancer, many people panic about the cost of their travel insurance rising.

When covering conditions such as cancer there is an increased risk that needs to be covered by insurance companies, which is why the premiums are higher.

We will take you through a series of screening questions to determine the severity of your condition, before offering some quotes from our panel of providers.

These questions will take into account how long ago the condition was diagnosed, if there has been any spread to other parts of the body, how the cancer is being treated, and how often you are receiving medical check-ups for it.

The impact on the premium depends on how these screening questions are answered. It is important to be as honest and accurate as possible when declaring your conditions to ensure you are adequately covered.
