Diagnosis since taking out travel insurance

[Powerkiter]

I've been undergoing various tests (urine tests, blood tests, ultrasound) for around 6 months now, without anything being diagnosed. I took out some travel insurance a few months ago and didn't declare anything, as nothing has been diagnosed.

However, since taking out the travel insurance I've been diagnosed with MGUS. Do I have to declare this with the travel insurance company before travelling?

After reading the policy (should've done that really before posting here ;-)) I contacted the insurance company and they updated my policy. No increase in cost, which was good.

MGUS is monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance. It is a non-cancerous condition where the body makes an abnormal protein, called a paraprotein. However, it can lead to a higher risk of some cancers. It now means that I'm going to have to have regular blood tests to make sure no changes.

I'd never heard of it, in fact, nobody that I know either has. No symptoms, no cure. Was detected whilst undergoing other tests which diagnosed a mild fatty liver. I'm just as surprised to have a fatty liver as my BMI is spot on, no diabetes, not a big drinker, relatively active, fairly healthy eater.

It's okay to travel. There are no symptoms. There is no medication as it cannot be treated. There is a higher risk of myeloma (bone cancer) and I now have to go for regular blood tests for free light chains in my blood, which is an early indication of cancer.
