Hi. my husband developed a cvt and was diagnosed last sept. It has been a long recovery and we are not quite there yet. We were considering having a holiday. We have got the ok from our GP for him to fly however I haven't yet looked at holiday insurance cover. Does anyone know how much this will be or can offer any advice regarding holidays.

Hi Sandra, Where is your husband at regarding recovery? I don't know much about holiday insurance, but my doctor didn't give me permission to fly more than a couple of hours until my clot was dissolved. Even then, it took about a year after that for her to give me permission. How long of a flight would you be looking at? The reason my doctor told me no more than a couple of hours was that I would be sitting too long and not have a chance to get up and move around.

Hi. They found the clots in Sept 2015.They have said they had been there for some time and they may never go.he hasn't had a scan since them. The gp said not a too long flight and to wear pressure socks and good insurance.

I shopped around a bit with specialist higher risk insurers and got a choice of a number of insurance companies at a much more realistic premium.
So shop around and have a great holiday.
