    I think your question is likely to limit the answers you receive. There are plenty of us familiar with critical illness cover, but will be unable to answer such a specific question.

    All I can say is yes, you should be able to make a successful claim for live cancer, but without knowing the detail, would be unable to provide any assurances. You would need to contact your insurer for that.
