Oh flipping hell Lucca no, of course it’s not fair, I really hope you get somewhere with the biba site, fingers crossed.

Have you tried the British Insurance Brokers Association, who should be able to steer you towards specialist brokers?

It’s not the terminal illness thing that’s stopping
me it’s that damned trial !

I’ll pay anything to be honest just to get at least one more trip abroad !

I did not realize your diagnosis was terminal Lucca. Im so sorry to read that.

Im sorry insurance is being unreasonable.

Very unfair!

Have you had a look at the Marie Curie site? It says some companies do provide cover for people with terminal illness

No it isn't fair Lucca. Were you advised before agreeing to this trial that if you wanted to go abroad you may have problems getting insurance? If you weren't, that isn't fair either.

You've done a wonderful selfless act and now seem to be being discriminated against because of it.

I hope you can find some cover that's affordable and can have your well deserved holiday abroad flowers.

As some if you know I have terminal cancer. I want t go abroad for a holiday. I have my oncologist approval. Travel insurance though ….. a lot of companies will not insure me because I took part in a non invasive trial recently. No Follow up procedures, no medication. I did it mainly to help future patients as it can’t save me.
