Metastatic Breast Cancer - need insurance help please

[Miss Jolly]

Despite my oncologist encouraging me to holiday, I cannot find any insurance company here in Australia or in the USA who will give me pre-existing medical condition coverage for my metastatic breast cancer. We would love to visit friends throughout the US and Canada and also cruise Fort Lauderdale to LA via South America. This can't happen without travel insurance so can anyone please help me with advice?

That is a tough situation. We do have some decent insurance companies, in the USA, that will generally cover pre-existing conditions (but they usually require to purchase the policy within a very short time (sometimes 24 hours) after booking your trip). But I have no idea if they would agree to insure anyone from outside of the USA. You might contact CSI Travel Insurance

and ask the question. We have used this company in the past and actually had to file a claim that was quickly settled to our satisfaction.
