Holiday Insurance CMML

Post by Freddy » 26 Feb 2013 16:22

Hi All,

Has anyone tried to get holiday insurance that have been diagnosed with CMML 1.

I am looking at a Cruise Holiday or a Break that requires flying.

What would be the approximate costs for a 1 to 2 week break, and what companies are there.

I have seen posts regarding insurance on the site before but cannot seem to find them at the moment.

Thanks, Freddy.

Hi Freddy

I do have CMML-1 but actually I have declared Myelodysplastic Syndromes as my pre-existing medical condition as CMML is considered a sub-type of that disease. I would imagine the questions are the same. I found Columbus the cheapest and I could do it all online. Here is the link to my latest post for insurance for a 12-day trip to Italy this Spring.

Hope you get something reasonable.

Best wishes
