Life Assurance after Illness?

Can anyone help please? My husband and I want to get life insurance, his is fairly easy to sort out but mine is proving a problem.

Is there any company who will give your life insurance after being treated for an early stage cancer. I had breast cancer 2 years ago and had the offending body part completely removed to cure it and prevent it spreading. I've since had 2 clear mammograms and want to know if there are companies I can approach without being laughed at :(

    Seek advice from a protection advisor or IFA. They can take the details down with more information and discuss it directly with the underwriters of various insurance companies who will indicate their willingness to consider and if they are, what the price increase will be over standard rates.
