Insurance
Sorting out insurance (including house and travel policies) along with other services may be more difficult during and after treatment for cancer.
It
is important not to let your current policies run out and if you move
house it is usually best to keep the same policy. There is no reason
to assume that you will not be able to get insurance but you may have
to 'shop around' and pay a larger premium. If you know that you will
need insurance cover (for example, travel insurance) start early and
check that you meet the conditions of the policy.
