Dear Ann
Did you try World First insurance, it's on the list through the site, I travelled to France between harvest and transplant and recently to New Zealand less than 200 each time, wasn't on chemo but was on revlimid. It's worth a look if the docs say he's fit to travel

I doubt it very much,
They could do a good documentary on Myeloma,not someone dying of Myeloma.

If they did a documentary on all the new and exciting drugs…[Read more]
