The extra benefits of our specialist travel insurance

We will ask medical questions which allow you to obtain cover specific to your head and neck cancer.

If you are living with head and neck cancer, we can arrange cover for your dream trip if you have:

  • Been diagnosed.
  • Have finished treatment.
  • Are in remission.

The majority of insurance companies do not offer this. So, if you have head or neck cancer and need specialist cover, you have come to the right place.

Sympathetic without being patronising

“I tried Saga for insurance formerly, but as soon as I mentioned ‘cancer’ they cold heartedly and abruptly ended the request. This knocked my confidence somewhat until, by chance, I heard about this company, AllClear. I found this company to be sympathetic without being patronising and very patient. My insurance is now all sorted thanks to them” – Keith Rawlinson, Trustpilot.

Frequently asked questions for declaring head and neck cancer

Do you need to declare cancer if you're in remission?

If you’re in remission you will still need to declare this as part of your policy. This is to ensure you’re fully covered should you fall ill or need to cancel, as a result of the cancer returning.

How do you quote if your condition is terminal?

We are still able to cover terminal conditions. These cancers are looked at on a case by case basis and if your condition is terminal, please call 01708 339029.

What if your condition is undiagnosed?

If you are in the middle of a diagnosis or your doctor is in the process of finding out whether your cancer has spread, we will not be able to offer cover during this period. This is because we cannot cover undiagnosed conditions.

Once you have been diagnosed whether the cancer has spread or not, in most cases we will then be able to offer a quote.

Tips for travelling with head and neck cancer

There is nothing to stop you enjoying a great holiday if you take advice and a few precautions.

Below are a few considerations to help with your travel plans.

Consult your doctor

Your GP or oncologist will need to declare you are fit for travel before setting off – at the very least verbally to get travel insurance.

Medical needs

If you are taking prescription medicines make sure you have enough to last the holiday. Take extra supplies just in case.

If you’re taking controlled drugs, such as morphine-based painkillers, you may need to make special arrangements.

If you have recently had surgery, consult your doctor or oncologist before making travel plans to see which activities are suitable.

If you require assistance getting to the airport or boarding, contact your airline.

They can help with:

  • Wheelchairs
  • Dietary requirements.
  • Airport transfers.
  • Organising oxygen.
  • Early boarding.
  • Finding a suitable seat.

If travelling in the EU, make sure you have an up to date European Health Insurance Card (EHIC).

It covers basic treatment, but remember not things like cancellation and repatriation in the event of illness.

The UK also has reciprocal healthcare agreements with some countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

Vaccinations

You should not have the following ‘live’ vaccines while having chemotherapy, or for six months after it ends:

  • Measles
  • Rubella (German measles).
  • MMR (measles, mumps and rubella).
  • BCG (tuberculosis).
  • Yellow fever.
  • Oral typhoid.
  • Shingles (Zostavax).

Blood clots

Certain cancers and their treatment increase the risk of blood clots, particularly if you are sitting still for long periods on a plane, car or bus.

Ensure your comfort and safety by following the expert advice.

Pace yourself

Don’t overdo it on holiday. Try to rest and relax.

Bear in mind that:

  • Extreme tiredness is a common side effect of head and neck cancers.
  • You could be sensitive to sunlight due to radiotherapy or certain cancer drugs.
  • Your ability to communicate could be affected by treatment.
  • You may experience problems eating or drinking after your treatment.

If you require special facilities or assistance at your destination, contact your hotel or tour operator to discuss your needs.
