Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK, with around 55,000¹ women diagnosed every year and 400¹ men diagnosed annually. But no matter how common breast cancer is, if you are diagnosed it can be a complete shock and turn your world upside down.

Treatment following a cancer diagnosis can be exhausting both physically and mentally, and so it’s understandable that many people plan a holiday during a break in treatment or at the end of their treatment. However, finding travel insurance at an affordable price that may cover a breast cancer diagnosis can sometimes be problematic. Insurancewith was created by Fiona Macrae who has had personal experience of breast cancer; you can read her story here. Our travel insurance policies can consider cover for breast cancer as well as a range of other medical conditions.

All standard policies at Insurancewith include cover for:

It can be confusing trying to understand travel insurance policies and ensue they are suitable for your circumstances. We consider cover for a range of different types of cancers and, where possible, can also extend the cover to protect the whole family. You can confidentially discuss your breast cancer diagnosis and treatment with one of our trained medical screening team during the quote process, who will give you information about our policy in a friendly and easy to understand manner.

How easy is it for people with breast cancer to get travel insurance?

Getting travel insurance with a breast cancer diagnosis can sometimes be a challenge, even when using some more well-known providers. Premiums can, on occasion, end up being prohibitively expensive – and sometimes finding a suitable travel insurance policy can prove to be very difficult.

However, we work differently to the rest of the market. Our founder, Fiona, found that often travel insurance policies for people with cancer either weren’t available or were expensive – often costing more than the price of the holiday itself!

At Insurancewith, our advisers specifically assess your condition using a medical risk assessment tool called Protectif, which enables us to get a deeper understanding of your circumstances and, where possible, offer you an affordable policy, even if you have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer, had chemotherapy, radiotherapy or biological therapy or had surgery in the last few months including:

Although we ask a few more questions than other providers, getting the right kind of cover on your travels is important.
