Cancer & Disney World

Hi that’s good to know you’ve not had problems getting insurance & visiting America. I will look into the company you mentioned.

My daughter had Hodgkin Lymphoma in 2016/17. Although we didn’t travel to USA while she was in treatment, we have been twice since and we’ve got travel cover with Boots Travel Insurance both times.

I wish you luck with your treatment and your search for cover so you can return to Florida.

No advice but just wanted to wish everyone on this thread who is battling all the love and strength in the world.

Maybe not the positive response you wanted, but I had to postpone a visit to WDW in April 2008 as I was undergoing chemotherapy. My oncologist was happy for me to go but the cost of insurance was prohibitive.. Also I would have to have been very careful with food and unable to go in the pool. So we waited until I was in a better position.

Not specifcally for cancer, but I have found Just Travel Cover very good for existing conditions.

Hope you can find something suitable.

Forgot to add on the insurance front,
Many of my fellow transplanted friends always use All clear.
I have used RBS , Virgin and The Post Office personally post transplant . They all have medical screening.
Good luck.

We are in a very similar position. DH was diagnosed with aggressive stage 4 kidney cancer with spread into abdomen and lungs and basically a terminal diagnosis of weeks to live days before Christmas last year. A total shock as he had no symptoms.

Luckily the tumours in his abdomen disappeared after his operation and the ones in his lungs were small and hadn’t grown on his last scan so no treatment, just keep and eye on him and diagnosis changed. The next scan is on the 4th and we have all fingers and toes crossed.

We managed to get insurance with All Clear. Everything was disclosed and it cost a fortune, but well worth it. So far we have had 2 holidays, are off to Mexico on the 14th. We won’t have the results of this scan until January and are determined it won’t overshadow this Christmas. We have already booked Florida in March, if he needs treatment it will be immunotherapy and we will worry about it in January.

Thank you all for your responses it really helps to know it might be possible to go back to my happy place.

I’m also thinking of you all coping with your own illnesses.
