Does anyone on here know of an insurance company who will insure someone who has had cancer within the last 4 years but not receiving any treatment, just scans. quotes from some companies are ridiculous more than twice the cost of the holiday and most just won't insure. quite what breaking an arm or a leg has to do with having cancer 4 years ago I don't know but if anyone has any suggestions it would be much appreciated

I guess it depends on the Cancer, but my other half had breast cancer 3 years ago and we can get insurance for £100-150 for a 3 week trip to the US.
Who with please. We have been quoted £1,800 for 10 days in Canada.

We are having really terrible trouble getting anything.... best quote we've had is £1,400. I think the problem is that her cancer spread twice and she has had three major ops. I will try Sainsbury's and as mentioned on here maybe phone them rather than do online qoutes. Thanks everyone

Ok so today we rang round and got the best deal from Sainsbury's who gave us a annual policy for just £82. we can claim for anything apart from if it is connected to reoccurring cancer. No bungee jumping either 😀
