I know everyone says "don't wait too late to do the travel you always said you were going to do", and we started last April with our Rhine River cruise. We also just got back from 3 days in Quebec City, which was marvelous. We would highly recommend both.
We want to do the Danube River next May, but DH had a recurrence of his melanoma in May, and surgery in early July. He is fine now, and has no other symptoms, just a few big scars on his head and neck. There is really no reason to think he would have a problem by next spring.
Here is the question. I am sure that most travel insurance policies have some clauses to protect them if you have certain pre-existing conditions. I get that. But for something like cancer, which may lay dormant for years before recurring... how would that be handled? The insurance can be quite expensive, but not compared to all of the other total costs.
Does anyone have experience with this? How much does a chronic condition like cancer factor into these policies?
Thanks,
Pugmom
