Hello everyone,
My sister - in - law is considering taking her mother to Florida, but she is having problems finding insurance to cover asbestos related cancer.
She had an operation a year ago to remove one tumour and has had three shrunken with radiotherapy.
I am aware this is a sensitive issue, can anyone offer any suggestions?
Thanks,
Debbie.

Hi Debbie

Sorry I don't know any specific insurance companies who specialise in this kind of particular cover, however if you search under travel insurance using the search facility above there are some threads that may just help.

Best of luck[msnsmile2]

Sorry to ask this, is it your sister-in-law's mother that the insurance is an issue for ?
The reason I ask is that Saga insurance services are normally able to accommodate, but it will be at a premium , mainly because if there was any emergency treatment needed whilst in the States it's very very expensive.

Yes, it is my sister-in-law's mother, but they have tried Saga with no luck unfortunatly.
