Get a QuoteWhat is chronic lymphocytic leukaemia?
Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow, causing the body to produce abnormal lymphocytes, which can affect people in different ways, depending on the severity of symptoms and how well it is managed. In the UK, around 35,000 people are living with the condition.
It’s important that you discuss your chronic lymphocytic leukaemia with a doctor before travelling. They will need to ensure that you are fit to fly with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and that any symptoms are well managed.
A trip abroad with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia can take a little extra planning, but if your condition is stable and you’ve spoken with your doctor, there’s often no reason you can’t still enjoy a holiday abroad.
How travel insurance can help if you have chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL):
- Emergency medical treatment and hospital care abroad
- Medical transport or repatriation back to the UK if required
- Cancellation cover if you are unable to travel due to your condition

If you have been diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, you might need to declare it when applying for travel insurance. Take care to read the medical declaration fully, so the details you give about your chronic lymphocytic leukaemia are complete. Please note that if you have chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, the nature of the condition can affect your ability to obtain travel insurance or the level of cover available.
