Frequently asked questions for declaring head and neck cancer
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.
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.
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

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.

- Finding a suitable seat.
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).

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.
