Single trip travel insuranceTesticular cancer travel insurance
Testicular Cancer is an uncommon Cancer, accounting for just 1% of all cancers found in men. It is most common in younger men aged 20-55years. If caught early testicular cancer can be completely cured with a survival rate of 95% if contained to the testicles, and 80% if the cancer has spread. Being diagnosed with Testicular Cancer can be an emotional time, whilst the prognosis is usually good, with few fatalities occurring as result of this cancer, this does not account for the stress and upset this can cause an individual and their family. Because of the rarity of this cancer many insurers have not bothered to accurately assess the risk associated with this condition and so charge high premiums and limit cover for a condition which has a considerably good prognosis in comparison to many other more common cancers. .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 Testicular Cancer. We have experience of insuring thousands of people with Testicular 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 Testicular 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:

The actual risk of travelling with Testicular Cancer on for example a 2 week holiday is actually relatively low. However in the event of an emergency or the need for immediate Testicular cancer treatment abroad, insurancewith have a Doctor led, worldwide 24 hour emergency assistance company who can organise and authorise your treatment, give medical and practical advice as well as arrange alternative flights and accommodation for you and your family until you are fit to travel home. They will also liaise with the treating Doctors and your specialist in the UK to ensure any proposed treatment is of a long term benefit to you, not just an immediate solution.
There are some important things to bear in mind when travelling with Testicular Cancer and it is always essential that you consult your GP or specialist prior to booking anything to ensure they are in agreement with your travel plans
Most importantly it is essential to ensure you have adequate travel insurance for you and your family’s needs. Always check with your GP that you are fit to travel and research the medical facilities near to where you are planning to stay. Your GP may advise you against air travel in which case you could consider a cruise or even take a scenic route and travel overland.
