Single trip travel insuranceBowel Cancer travel insurance
Bowel Cancer (Colon and Rectum) is the third most commonly diagnosed Cancer in the United Kingdom affecting around 37,000 people every year. Bearing this in mind it’s a wonder why so many insurers misunderstand the condition and are reluctant to insure it at a reasonable cost, if at all. Some insurers charge astronomical premiums because they don’t fully understand the actual risk.At insurancewith we do understand the actual risk and believe that everyone deserves a holiday, so in turn have designed a specific policy for people who have been diagnosed with Bowel Cancer. We have experience of insuring thousands of people with Bowel Cancer and have done so for the last 15 years. This means not only do you get a policy which gives you peace of mind for you and your family, it is reasonably priced and designed to cover you and your holiday. We offer worldwide policies, cruise specific policies, winter sports cover and can insure longer trips for those wishing to stay away for a while.
Your policy from insurancewith will not only cover your camera, shoes, delayed flight and legal expenses, (a few of the many benefits offered visit www.insurancewith.com for the full list of benefits), we can also cover up to £5 million pounds of medical expenses and repatriation cover, regardless of what stage of Bowel Cancer you have, how far into treatment you are or what surgery you have had and can offer travel insurance for customers still undergoing treatment.
Our trained medical screening advisers are able to offer confidential, friendly advice about our policy as well as specific risk assessment of your condition to offer you tailor-made travel insurance even if you have/had:

Having a stoma should not stop you from travelling; however there are some important things to bear in mind when travelling with Bowel Cancer and it is always essential that you consult your GP or specialist prior to booking anything.
If you have a Stoma
- make sure that you have plenty of stoma supplies and carry these in your hand luggage.
- always take more supplies than you need, as in hot climates you may find you need to change your appliance more often than usual.
- Keep your Stoma bag in a cool place and out of direct sunlight. If you have Colostomy or Ileostomy
- be cautious with food for a couple of days before travel and try to avoid alcohol, fizzy drinks and spicy food
- when flying sometimes the air pressure can cause problems with your Stoma bag and so it may be worth adding an extra flatus filter onto the bag, just in case.
- All cancers covered, including metastatic or terminal conditions
- Emergency medical expenses cover- up to £5,000,000
- Each case is individually assessed, so you never pay more than you need to
