Specialist Travel Insurance for Cancer of the Uterus

NHS Choices advises that cancer of the uterus also known as womb cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the UK to affect a woman after breast cancer, lung cancer and cancer of the colon and rectum. There are about 8,200 new cases of womb cancer cases diagnosed each year and it is more common in women who have been through the menopause, with the majority of cases diagnosed in women aged over 50. Womb cancer accounts for about 5% of all cancers diagnosed in women.

Our guide to uterus cancer insurance

It is very important to ensure you have the right type of travel insurance, especially if you are travelling abroad with cancer or even if your cancer is in remission. You must tell us about all of your medical history so we can offer you the best cover for your travel needs. The last thing you want is to purchase a policy only to find it doesn’t cover you because you forgot to tell us about your cancer. Free Spirit travel cover can help you enjoy your trip without stress!

If for example, you had a medical problem relating to your cancer while you are away and needed emergency hospital care, standard travel insurance may not cover you for this. If however you have declared and are covered for all of your medical conditions with a specialist travel policy, then any medical emergency relating directly or indirectly to your declared medical conditions should be covered.

Why cover your cancer before you travel?

While it is not a legal requirement to cover your medical conditions when travelling abroad, imagine how you would feel if you were left out of pocket from pre-paid holiday costs because you had to cancel your holiday due to your uterine cancer. There are many standard policies available at very cheap prices, however, do not be fooled! It is unlikely they will include the cover you need.

Always add travelling companions to your policy, they could be your friends, family members or even your carer. They too should be able to claim if you needed to cancel your holiday because of your medical condition or if it had to be cut short while away because you became unwell.

Top tips for buying the best insurance for travelling with uterus cancer

  • Buy specialist cancer holiday insurance through a dedicated travel insurance provider. By doing this, you can be sure that they will understand your condition and tailor a policy to your individual travel needs.
  • Before deciding on your holiday destination, consider travelling to countries within Europe rather than further afield. Medical costs can be much more expensive especially if you choose to go to the USA or even Australia. This doesn’t mean we can’t cover you outside Europe, however, be prepared for higher premiums.
  • Read the small print, check that your policy not only covers you for emergency medical expenses but also for cancellation costs, loss of personal belongings, travel documents and your prescribed cancer medication.
  • Always check the excess you would have to pay if you should have to make a claim. Some travel insurance policies may initially offer cheap prices but include large excesses.
