Life Insurance if have a past serious illness

Hi can anyone help? I am 42 and sole earner. My wife is 38 and looks after my 4 yr old daughter. 9 yrs ago my wife was diagnosed with a bladder cancer which she has been completely cured from - just has surveillance once per year. I suspect that if we apply for insurance for her we will be rejected. Anyone know who would cover her for life insurance? (I am fit and healthy and have no trouble getting insurance)

    She may not be rejected, but may have to pay quite a high extra premium.

    Speak to a financial advisor about it.

    There are specialist insurers who will insure if your usual insurer won't. I haven't got any names unfortunately,but a friend used to work for such a company and I was surprised how affordable the insurance was at times.
    Tomorrow is always fresh, with no mistakes in it!
