Travel insurance solved at last!

I was curious as I know the last time I had looked at compare the market it didn't do medical screening but I now know they do so thank you. So just to see what it threw up I went through the process ( believe me I now know those screening questions off by heart!). Got a very limited selection back - I think it is not just the prostate cancer factor though but our collection of other conditions affecting things though most of them are mild-moderate, not life threatning etc . Only one was cheaper than the product I just got from insureandgo - and only by £10 and with lower levels of cover, much higher excess and possibly didn't have extras like travel disruption cover included, which I think it is wise to have these days! So though it galls me to pay £268 for a year of Europe only cover, it looks pretty competitive, given that that is with ALL conditions covered for us both. Last year we went with Virgin and it was worldwide and I think cost a good bit of £300 but we were going to the Carribean to get married and I really wanted to make sure we had as good cover as we could - the PCa was excluded then but apart from a small risk of sudden worsening of side effects of treatment we felt ok about that. Since then though he has had to have minor op for stricture hence the worry about that recurring and the risk of going into urinary retention which is an emergency situation. I doubt it will get much better for us till he is 5 years  in remission - we can but hope!  The Nationwide account is good if you can get it, we tried last year, but the level of cover is linked to the type of account - for worldwide cover you need to have more than their basic Flex account and we didn't qualify for it - but if you can get it it seems like the best value around from what I can see.
