    I haven’t needed travel insurance for years as I decided to boycott the entire airline industry when they told me that my nail scissors were a deadly weapon and confiscated them. I was very fond of those nail scissors.

    However, there are various specialist companies around. Avanti is one that seems to be well regarded. You could give them a call and see if they could help you.

    Hi. I was surprised that my insurance company accepted my condition with no extra premium. I declared it and they just wrote to me confirming it as a declared condition- no problem!  

    I have just been on holiday with a seven hour flight. I was worried about the journey but My haematologist just advised to wear pressure socks and drink, drink and drink more water. She said it didn’t matter if I was up and down to the loo all the time!!! (Which I was, but a small price to pay). 

    Best Wishes
