Is this fair ?!

Oh well done - that is good news!

So happy for you, my online friend ! ❤️ will still find out which company my friend used as it may, hopefully be useful for others who have been big hearted and undergone drug trials

So happy for you Lucca. Have a fabulous holiday

I was horrified reading this, so glad for the positive update. Enjoy your adventure

* insurance, a holiday - it’s been a long day!

Awwww that’s such good news, Lucca. Looking forward to reading all about it when the time comes... virtual travelling companions ?

I was so disgruntled by your news yesterday, Lucca, but I’m over the moon that you now have a insurance, holiday to look forward to and hair. You’re a classy lady.

Glad it's sorted Lucca. Just wanted to say I am in awe of your attitude. And to offer a hug should you need one anytime.

Sorry to hear about your diagnosis Lucca My DH was diagnosed with Stage 4 terminal cancer & underwent palliative treatment including chemo, he was also part of a trial. We managed to get insurance through a company called Insure With.com for several holidays abroad and in the Uk before Covid hit. They were recommended to us by Macmillan support at the hospital. The company was originally set up by a lady who had breast cancer & was struggling to get cover. They may be worth a try, I hope you manage to sort something and get to go on what must be a much needed holiday.

ourtravelinsurance.co.uk/ This is the broker I used. Really helpful. Shout out to Brenda!
The insurers are actually Allclear .
By using a broker I only had to give them all the details rather than repeating them to x different companies,

They're the ones I used last time, not as expensive as Staysure, the company I used to use whose prices had risen by quite a large margin.

Enjoy your holiday Lucca!

Lucca - great news about the hair and holiday booking. Have a fab time.

I can understand why insurance companies won't insure some people that have pre-existing conditions but what I can't understand is why they don't exclude that part of the policy relating to illness. Surely they could create a policy where the types of cover that you need can be selected, such as cancellation, luggage and delays.

Lucca I'm very pleased that you have found a policy and hope that you have a lovely holiday.

Yes, they do, Dinahmo. Our bank offered insurance cover like that but, if you have a pre-existing condition, the company could argue that any sudden illness needing treatment on holiday was due to the pre-existing condition.

Can’t believe how happy I feel for you Lucca, yay and yay again.
An insurance company with a bit of a heart, a lettuce and definitely not a carrot.
Looking forward to hearing about the trip and hoping you’ll post some photos.

I'm so sorry to hear your prognosis but thrilled for you that you can go on holiday, Lucca.

In the past, The Post Office used to offer good insurance. They would cover a lot of pre-existing conditions after a certain time but if you claimed, your excess was higher. For those of us who have several conditions, this seemed the best way to go.

Lucca I’m sure there are lots of folk on GN who were so saddened to hear your news a while back about your health situation, so learning that you have booked a much needed holiday is very heartening.

I hope you have a wonderful time, and I will look forward to hearing all about it when you return.

Pleased for you, enjoy ??

So pleased for you ... enjoy !

Oh, I am thrilled for you Lucca, you've no idea!
Have a lovely time and send us a postcard!

Thanks for all your comments. It’s good to know one can come on GN and either exult or moan and be listened to !

Good news Lucca.
So sorry for Blossoming and Marydoll not being able to get insurance. ?

I'll be waiting for you Marydoll

It's on the list Chewy! I just need to sort my latest problems, first.

Wonderful result Lucca, really good news that you can now look forward to as lovely holiday in the sun.
