From the beginning of last week It is my daughters school half term holiday break, her school is on half term break sooner than most others, because her schools summer break is two weeks shorter and re-convenes half way through August unlike most. It is a time that I try and get her out doing things. As we didn't have a holiday away this year due to my operations I booked lastminute.com Wendy got a few days off, so we headed South to Portugal for blue skies and sunshine. Albefuira to be exact "Travel Insurance" I hear you say....... "yes very important"...................only nobody would insure me.
As long as you mention "Cancer" on any quotation or proposal the insurance company's do not want to know...........I'm not talking they won't insure for pre-existing conditions....oh no they won't insure at all!!!!!........................for anything ..............not even a .........................airplane delay or the usual holiday mishap ..
I'm sure other cancer sufferers and survivors have been in the same situation and did exactly what I did and trolled through the various cancer forums ........some very helpful information, but unless its very up to date the good information that was, has been changed or no longer exists. Ha ha I checked through my existing house insurance and found it covers annually for up to 60 days away from our shores and covers all the normal holiday stuff delays to airplane cancellation due to emergency's loss of cameras etc etc
Pre - existing conditions are not covered ...............but I wouldn't expect it to be or did I want it to be ..................so to anyone else out there who suddenly finds out the harsh reality of being uninsurable for holiday bookings / flights etc you may well be already insured and didn't know it. Check your house insurance. For a £35 excess, I'm totally covered for my holiday ...............................well not totally, I'm not covered for Cancer...............??
