Hello,
I hope this is the right place to post. My 67 year old Dad has advanced prostate cancer with metastasis, which was diagnosed in Feb. Since then he's had a variety of treatments including hormone therapy, chemo and is about to start infusions of zoledronic acid for bone strength. He's responded really well to all these treatments and is as a general rule fit and well, and living life at the moment as near to normal as possible.
He was wanting to go with a friend to watch the cricket in the West Indies in the spring, and now the dates have been released has started to make proper enquiries. So far though, the travel insurance costs are very high. Obviously he understands the insurance will be much higher than normal, but the only quote he's managed to get thus far is nearly £2000 for 9 days away.
Does anyone have any experience of this, and any advice on getting an insurance quote that might not be quite so high? His consultant has said he has no concerns at all about about him going as despite having advanced cancer, he is
general fit and well. I know though that the insurers will base their calcs on the facts.
Thanks very much.
