Pancreatic cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the pancreas, an organ involved in digestion and blood sugar regulation, and it can affect people in different ways depending on the stage of the condition and how well it is managed. In the UK, around 10,500 people are living with pancreatic cancer.
It’s important that you discuss your pancreatic cancer with a doctor before travelling. They will need to be satisfied that you are fit to fly with pancreatic cancer and that it is being properly managed. Note that due to the nature of pancreatic cancer, this can affect your ability to obtain travel insurance or the level of cover available.
A trip abroad with pancreatic cancer 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.
Why it’s worth having travel insurance if you have pancreatic cancer:
- Emergency medical treatment abroad if your condition causes complications
- Hospital treatment and medical expenses during your trip
- Repatriation to the UK if you need to return home for further care
- Cancellation cover if you are unable to travel due to your condition
