Hoping that the massed brain power of mumsnet can help with this.
We are going on holiday for a week to a European destination, 4 hours flight. Mum, who has secondary cancers, has been quoted £1,000 minimum for holiday insurance. She has had some hospitalisation (due to treatment drugs not the cancer) but the cancer is responding well to the treatment and is currently controlled, so we are not expecting any hospitalisation due to cancer during the course of the holiday. Her drug regime has also changed so there have been no further adverse reactions.
However she would like to be covered for things like tripping over and breaking an ankle.
We have done some online applications but they all give a "reasonable" insurance quotation of around £300, but once she phones to confirm they either won't insure or quote over a thousand pounds.
Has anyone found a company that does reasonable insurance for cancer patients? Mum has said she will go with no insurance but I also know she's the type of person who will quietly worry about it.
