Travel Insurance for Brain Cancer FAQs
What does Travel Insurance for Brain Cancer cover?
Brain cancer Travel Insurance covers emergency medical expenses abroad related to your condition, illness, or sudden injury. Cancellation cover is included should an unexpected change in your health mean you can no longer travel, as well as repatriation if it is deemed medical necessary for you to return home before the end of your trip. Added benefits like baggage cover are also included, protecting you in the event your luggage is lost, stolen or damaged.
Are travel options limited for those with Brain Cancer?
If you have brain cancer and are worried about travel options being limited, this largely depends on the stage of your diagnosis and your level of health. If your doctor has cleared you for travel, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be able to travel with specific brain cancer Travel Insurance. Some brain cancer patients may be advised not to travel due to the increased risk of pressure or swelling in the brain from air travel, which can exacerbate certain tumours.
It’s important to make sure you have consulted with your doctor and/or treatment specialist to confirm you are medically fit to travel, and create a travel plan that caters to your specific needs.
