Thank you both so much for your replies – it’s really encouraging to hear. chris55lee – how wonderful you’ve been able to travel- gives me so much hope to hear of your experiences and gcoulter likewise – really really helpful to have this information and real experiences. My husband was only diagnosed in November so we are still learning how to adapt to it all and travel is one of those things that we feel is really important to do and plan for. thank you again SO SO much.

Wishing you both many more happy travel experiences.

I will definitely shop around for insurance as the quotes I’ve been given thus far have been much higher – around 6oo!

Hello! – I am getting insurance through Freedom which donates to Myeloma for each policy taken out. and is recommended on the Myeloma travel info sheet. As far as I understand it you CAN get the insurance with active myeloma (my husband has smouldering myeloma). They take you through a health screening of course so you do have to answer to all sorts of questions around your treatment and so on. A prognosis is only a prognosis in the sense that again, as I understand it, life expectancy is based on statistics and averages and is not an absolute for anyone. I would encourage you to travel and take out the insurance you need that will cover you so you have peace of mind.

Wishing you all the very best and happy travels – love Emma Sue
