Hi,

Can anyone recommend a travel insurance company for cover after undergoing an operation for malignant melanoma?
Mr Grumpyoldmoo had an operation in January to remove offending growths. Lymph node results came back all clear.

TIA

    MacMillan usually have some suggestions on their website.


    I found Unison travel insurance reasonable when I had to get travel insurance following cancer treatment.

    My OH had the same thing 4 years ago - no problem getting travel insurance, even a few months after surgery.

    We use payingtoomuch.com as they usually find a better quote for us. However, everyone has different circumstances and what comes up best for us may not for you. The mainstream comparison sites should offer you quotes from what you've said - they did for us.
