Working with cancer
Continuing to work is often an important aspect of retaining a
sense of normality after a cancer diagnosis, however this may be
challenging. The Macmillan website has a fantastic section on
cancer and your job which discusses lots of different aspects of
working with cancer.
Travel Insurance
For many people, a cancer diagnosis prompts them to take long intended holidays or visits to family abroad, however finding reasonably priced travel insurance can be a challenge.
There are several good websites which deal with travel insurance for those with cancer generally:
Cancer Research UK - Travel insurance
Additionally, we have a section on our forum where people are asked to share their experiences good or bad. Ovacome also has a list of recommended insurance providers that will provider cover to travellers with cancer - please contact the office.
