Ovarian cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the ovaries and can affect how the body functions in different ways depending on the stage of the condition and how well it is managed. In the UK, around 41,000 people are living with ovarian cancer.
It’s important that you discuss your ovarian cancer with a doctor before travelling. They can check that you are fit to fly with ovarian cancer and that your treatment or recovery is on track. Be aware that the nature of ovarian cancer can affect your ability to get travel insurance or the level of cover available.
A diagnosis doesn’t necessarily mean giving up on travel - with the right preparation and medical advice, many people with ovarian cancer continue to travel safely and enjoy holidays abroad.
Having the right travel insurance in place for ovarian cancer can help to cover:
- Emergency medical treatment if your condition worsens during your trip
- Hospital stays and related medical expenses abroad
- Medical repatriation to the UK if further treatment is needed
