Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. Every year about 36,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer in the UK. It accounts for a quarter of all newly diagnosed cases of cancer in men. So with so many people affected it’s surprising that many sufferers struggle to get travel insurance or pay excessive premiums which is most cases is just not necessary. Prostate cancer which is confined to the Prostate has an approximate survival rate of 90%. This considered 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 Prostate Cancer.

Having a catheter should not stop you from travelling; however there are some important things to bear in mind when travelling with Prostate Cancer and it is always essential that you consult your GP or specialist prior to booking anything.
Travelling tips
- Make sure that you have enough catheter for the duration of your trip and carry these in your hand luggage.
- Try to keep your Catheter out of direct sunlight.
- Patients who have had a Radical Prostatectomy are at an increased risk of developing Lymphedema whilst flying and so it is essential you get confirmation from your GP that travelling by air is not going to be detrimental to your health and it is advisable to wear flight socks to reduce this risk.
- If you have urinary problems you may want to discuss this (discreetly) with your airline/check in to try and get an aisle seat for your ease.
- If you require pads due to a urinary problem then pack plenty of spares in your hand luggage
Most importantly it is essential to ensure you have adequate travel insurance for you and your family’s needs.
