I just posted a query about travel insurance and it has disappeared ! I am wondering if others have managed to get travel insurance when declaring stage 3 myeloma ? I have just been rejected by Able 2 Travel which surprised me as it is one of the recommended companies….

My husband was diagnosed with myeloma in 2023. He is currently in remission. We got insurance with Insureandgo. We got a joint annual policy. It was expensive as we are planning a cruise in usa

Last year when I was in remission I got insurance with Puffin. I had to make a claim and they paid up promptly; the claim was not related to illness but to the global IT outage. This year Puffin will not insure me. I think it is because I answered ‘don’t know’ to the question about stage, because my consultant tells me that stage has no meaning with blood cancers.

Hi Rosietheriveter,

The concept of stages in myeloma is quite well established, whatever your consultant says.

For example, see: https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/myeloma/stages

It is true that stages are less important with many other cancers.

I’m not stage three, however It might be worth trying a broker, I considered this route after several hours calling various companies, however I was accepted by Insure & go, it was expensive for a single journey but not a much as I anticipated, and you can do most of it online then they will call you back.

Adrian rambles-

When I first was told I had Myeloma the fear and dread was beyond anything I’ve ever experienced.
I have just pasted 9 years- now if somebody had said you’ll be fine 9 years after being told I would have probably not believed them.
Never reached remission, PP level run between 6-7.
Never changed treatment- still first line.
I feel lucky but also determined to see it out. If this post helps anybody in anyway, job done. I know at first these experiences helped me massively.

I understand how important reliable travel insurance is, especially when planning trips abroad. It gives peace of mind and makes travel much more enjoyable. Alongside planning for insurance, I’ve also been researching destinations that offer both relaxation and financial growth. Montenegro stood out to me because it not only has beautiful landscapes for travel but also offers a strong Investment Opportunity in Montenegro through its growing real estate and tourism sectors. It feels like a place where travel and smart investment come together.
