Hi Ann, I just picked up your post asking about holiday insurance. To go to Spain, in May, cost £250 for both Mo and me. However my wife works at an Insurance Broker so she had staff discount, plus, I am not under any treatment at the moment. This was for 7 days and the insurance was bomb proof.
My only criteria are that Mo should not be left with a bill to get me back to England if the worst should happen. I went to my Doctor and asked him to give a printout of everything I must declare to the Insurance Company, your Doc may charge for this but it is worth it because in the end of the day HE is the guy that the Insurance Company will write to if you make a claim and it is in Medical langauge!
What stage? Is one of the questions you will be asked i.e. Stage 1, 2 or 3 or remission. I have tried to get an answer to this many times and I asked again at my last appointment, (I saw a new Registrar and not the Consultant). But he gave me the same answer, ?Staging is not used in Myeloma and is only suitable for the ?solid? cancers?. This becomes a problem if you are trying to get Insurance on the internet, no human contact! So when I do my insurance for Scilly Isle on Monday I am going to try to explain that to the Insurance Company.
I have really started this thread so that people can put up Companies they have used. We have done it before but it all gets lost in the mist of time and some people are not good at searching internet chat rooms threads.
I am using Citybond Suretravel Superior Travel Insurance. You can only get access through an Insurance Broker, I do not think they are on the Internet.
Hope this helps
Kindest Regards ? Vasbyte

p.s. Your Doctor must make a clear statement that you can go to X and fly there and back and preferably make sure it is added to your records if you can.
