Cancer and Travel Insurance

[PringlesQueen]

My friend has just this week been diagnosed with cancer.
She is due to go on a group coach trip to Germany next week. Does anybody know if her travel insurance will be invalid? She has not yet had any treatment.
I do not wish to ask my friend about her travel insurance. Unfortunately I do not know the name of the travel company that the coach trip has been arranged through, so cannot ask them directly.
Sorry for such sketchy details, but hopefully somebody be able to offer some advice.

She should contact her travel insurers and advise them of the situation. They would probably want to exclude anything relating to her cancer.

ALWAYS safer to tell the insurancde company EVERYTHING. They always try to wriggle out of paying so better to be safe than nsorry
