Travel insurance with cancer. Any advice?

Trying to arrange travel insurance with cancer but can't get quotes. My treatment is ongoing chemotherapy tablets rather than traditional chemo or surgery. As it is ongoing, I'm having to tick the box for future planned treatments and I think this is why I can't get a quote. Other than not ticking that box and possibly invalidating any insurance, does anybody who may have been through something similar have any ideas.
Thanks in advance.
 
I can't comment on your particular scenario but have you tried World First Insurance? As an amputee diabetic they have insured my trips a few times. Very satisfactorily.

World First is really good. You speak to a medic on the phone who will be able to ask about your condition and treatment and whether you are subject to ongoing check ups etc. They'll quote for what you need, as opposed to what they think you need.

I've used them and their quote was less than half of AllClear, which is the other big company in the business. Still a lot, but far less than many companies, and some won't even cover you.

I haven't ever had to claim, but I did a lot of research before I bought a policy and there did not seem to be any problem with claim being honoured.
