Andy, thanks for your reply. I’ll give them another try via the phone, so far I’ve been quoted from £500 to £1980 for an 18 day cruise calling at only EU countries.

it seems that just the word cancer causes an automatic increase in charges, despite consultant report stating “blood tests are consistent with remission”.

I note that NowIcantravel has been recommended by the Myeloma UK travel guides (and someone on this forum).

What a waste of time, I have spent over an hour today completing all their questions (when the website worked) and at the end of the process ALL my pre existing medical problems, including Myeloma, were excluded from the policy, even minor problems such as Sleep Apnoea. For this they wanted to charge twice as much as a quote from AllClear

Hi, my problem is the other way around.

Since MY diagnosis in June 2014 my wife has gone from size 16 down to 8 or 10. She has been through various tests and at one point last year we were both in the same hospital but half a mile from each other! No resolution for her nor any physical reasons, we assume it can only be worry. Perversely , some may be envious, the nutritionists have told her to eat fatty foods, chocolate, ice cream etc!

When I was on my full chemo last year, both in and out hospital, I lost taste and dropped a couple of stone, I viewed that as an upside to the problem. Slowly creeping up again now that I am on a maintenance treatment. Chocolate and inactivity don’t go together. Vicious circle for me, I cannot exercise, even walk more than a few yards, due to osteoporosis and a double spine fracture.
