Think there might be advice out there

Stay Sure does over with cancer and appears not to be concerned about clinical trials.

Hope that you can get what you need Lucca

None of it is fair Lucca, it stinks.
Lots of good links and advice here, hope you find a fair and reasonable insurance company and have a wonderful time on that cruise.

I too have cancer and am currently receiving treatment to contain it. So I'll be following this with interest. Thank you for raising this issue, Lucca. I do hope you manage to get to Dubrovnik.

Feel helpless, Lucca, except to send you love and hugs.
I am sure there is help here somewhere for you.
?

Its certainly not fair. Have you tried talking to the trial people? Can they help?

No. Stay sure we’re the first ones I tried and they said absolutely not to clinical trials

Thanks everyone.I’ll let you know what happens ! Tired now so going to watch some carrotty nonsense on the telly!

Insurance companies are carrots

It’s appalling, it stinks, insurance companies rip us off year after year “on the off chance” but even if we do ever claim, they have clever d*cks called “loss adjusters” who pare the claim down to the least possible pay out .

I've just had a look for you on the Macmillan site. There are five posts from people trying to find travel insurance, not all of them have done a clinical trial.

The person that recommended this company did continue on to a trial after treatment, link at the end of this post.

It certainly isn’t fair Lucca. Good luck with finding an insurance.

I really hope some of these links provided come up trumps for you Lucca and that you get to go on your holiday. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Oh Lucca I am sorry. They were open to travel insurance for someone with cancer and at that point there was no reference at all to clinical trial being a problem.

It certainly IS NOT fair and needs being brought to the fore. You have been given some good pointers Lucca try them to see if they can help.
If not write to your local paper and your MP. plus the medical board
I certainly would if it were me.
Good Luck.

So terribly unfair Lucca. I hope something here helps you to get your very important holiday.
Sending love. ?

So sorry Lucca, life is not fair

For insurance companies, risk is everything and the cost raised if insurance is in fact needed

Numbers instead of people.

Lucca, this is so unfair, so it is not the terminal cancer diagnosis that is the issue, it is the selfless act of participating in a cancer treatment trial? This is desperately unfair. I can, if you wish, ask my friend what they did when they travelled overseas after her husband took part in drug trials while he underwent experimental treatment for his cancer? Pm me if you wish

Ah well another day another dollar. I’ll try some more avenues today but it’s exhausting and not good for my state of mind.

If you can let us know how you get on Lucca . I was wondering if we could all turn up at the insurance offices and look threatening. I cant think of anything more frightening to be honest.

I sympathise with you Lucca. I don't have cancer, no-one will insure me, as I'm such a high risk.
It's very hard to come to terms with.
I hope you find someone to insure you.

Ive got a quote !! Less than I thought too. Bet the holiday has been taken now….

Great re the quote! Good luck re the holiday x

That's great news, Lucca!
