hello. hope somebody can help me or point me in the right direction...new to all this. diagnised with DCIS (non invasive), had subsequent successfull breast reconstruction surgery and 25 sessions of radiotherapy as precautionary measure. expect to get all clear(totally disease free) at my forthcoming discharge check up with my oncologist hoping to take an extended holiday in an eec country(safeguard of EHIC card) in late april...9 weeks after completion of radiotherapy. have been advised it may be difficult to get travel insurance.(with possible excesses and non insurance for certain outcomes)..at present I have travel insurance cover through my tsb bank account which I have used for many years and never claimed. can anyone advise me on the negotating tactics for obtaining travel insurance..what are the main points the insuers wish to cover so that I can be prepared in advance of any direct contact with them. I have been advised I may need a "fit to travel" letter from my oncologist/gp...has anybody got experience of this and does anyone have a template letter, or form of words successfully used, which hits the spot with the insurance industry in terms of content. hopefully my bank will provide the requisite insurance, but failing that can someone recommend other companies who might be prepared to insure me.? sorry if this is old ground but I would appreciate any help/pointers/dsuccessfull strategies/points to avoid etcthanks for any help in advance
