You’ll need to declare all your medical conditions when getting a quote to ensure they’re included in your cover. That way, you’ll be protected if any health-related issues arise while you’re away.

Speak to your doctor before you travel

Preparation is key when travelling with oesophageal cancer and it’s important that your doctor has declared you fit to travel before you head off on your holiday. Factors that will be considered include:

• Your blood platelet count
• Whether you have had recent surgery
• Any breathing difficulties due to anaemia or throat constriction

Your doctor or oncologist may be able to give you more in depth advice too. They can advise you on travel destinations, what you can expect in the way of maintaining your condition when abroad, what precautions to take, what you may need to pack and more.

Vaccinations and entry requirements to some countries

• When you visit certain countries, you may need to get vaccinations. Some of these vaccinations cannot be carried out while you are on a course of chemotherapy or radiotherapy for your oesophageal cancer. With a weakened immune system, live vaccinations can cause infections and it’s not recommended that you go ahead with them.

• Even if you’re scheduled to stop the chemotherapy cycle before your flight, you will need to get the vaccination in advance – so let your doctor know in advance so they can advise and schedule your vaccinations if necessary, with plenty of time to spare.

Avoid stressful and tiring activities

• See how you feel as you go and try not to overexert yourself. Sometimes one of the nicest things to do on holiday is to relax in the shade with a good book.

Talk to your airline in advance

• As you know, if you have oseophageal cancer, low platelet counts can cause breathing problems, which can require oxygen treatment. If you do require oxygen, be sure to let your airline know in advance so they’re prepared to help as best they can.

• Most airlines will be happy to help and will advise on what you may need to carry with you on board.

• If you feel the journey to the airport gate will be too much, speak to the mobility assistance team to provide help with luggage and getting you to the right places at the right time.

Carry your documents with you

• Your doctor can provide you with a printout that summarises your medical condition and treatment plans. Also you might want to include a note from your doctor about medication you intend to take through security.

• And of course, ensure you take your Travel Insurance documents with you so you have quick access to the emergency assistance team and you policy details should you need it.

Pack a medical care kit

• Some of the medications we can easily get in the UK can be hard to get when abroad. So make sure you bring things you and your travelling party might need. Travel sickness medicine, diarrhoea treatments, and mosquito repellent are handy essentials.

Choosing the right Travel Insurance for oesophageal cancer depends on your travel plans – whether it’s a single getaway or multiple adventures throughout the year. Your destination, activities, and who you’re travelling with can also shape the type of cover you need.

Here’s how to find a policy that fits:

Choose the right trip duration

• Single Trip Travel Insurance – Perfect if you’re planning one holiday. You’ll be covered for up to 365 consecutive days abroad.

• Annual Multi-trip Travel Insurance – Ideal if you’re taking several trips within 12 months. It could be more cost-effective than buying single policies for each journey.

Tailor your cover to your holiday type

• Cruise Travel Insurance – Standard policies don’t include cruise-specific scenarios like missed port departures or cabin confinement. Cruise Cover ensures you’re fully protected.

• Gadget Cover – If you’re bringing more than just your phone, Gadget Cover is essential. Protect up to eight devices under one policy.

• Golf Travel Insurance – Taking your clubs? This add-on offers up to £750 of cover for your equipment and any unused Green Fees.

Pick the right policy for your travel group

• Family Travel Insurance – One easy policy for up to two adults and eight children.

• Group Travel Insurance – Cover up to eight adults travelling together on the same policy – ideal for extended family or friends.

Whether you’re jetting off solo or travelling with loved ones, you’ll find flexible options to suit your needs.
