Stomach cancer is now the 17th* commonest cancer in adults in the UK. Stomach cancer is rare in younger people, 50%** of people affected are over 75. Being diagnosed with cancer of the stomach can be a very frightening and stressful time and often people choose to take a holiday with family to relax and enjoy time together. This however comes with its own problems, especially when trying to arrange travel insurance with cancer cover.

If you’ve been diagnosed with stomach cancer, planning a holiday and getting some well-needed rest and relaxation to get away from the stresses of treatment and the physical exhaustion of having the illness can be ideal. However, after a diagnosis of a condition such as stomach cancer, it’s important to travel with good quality travel insurance which covers your specific medical condition – but this isn’t something which should prevent you from travelling.
Buying travel insurance before you leave for your trip is as important as remembering to pack your passport. Without the safety blanket of travel insurance, should something unexpected happen whilst you’re away, for example, you fall ill or have to return home to receive treatment, you could be faced with hundreds or thousands of pounds worth of medical and transport bills. With travel insurance, you don’t have to worry about how much your treatment or transport is going to cost, and can focus on what’s important – your recovery.
Many travel insurance companies are reluctant to insure those with pre-existing medical conditions such as stomach cancer because they think those with medical conditions are more likely to fall ill and put in a claim than those who don’t. Insurancewith doesn’t exclude anyone from our insurance policies. We offer everyone with a pre-existing medical condition such as stomach cancer the opportunity to go through our unique medical screening programme which assesses your individual medical situation and asks relevant questions. This helps customers who find they can’t always tick boxes on usual medical travel insurance questionnaires obtain affordable travel insurance which also covers their condition.
