The Financial Challenges


Cancer affects everyone differently. The type, stage, and treatment plan all play a role in how it impacts your life. But one thing is certain, the financial burden can be significant.

  • Medical Costs: While cancer treatment may largely be covered by the NHS, there may still be expenses for prescriptions, travel to appointments, specialised therapies, or complementary treatments.
  • Time Off Work: Many cancer patients need to take extended time off work, reducing their income at a time when expenses are rising.
  • Worries About the Future: Concerns about how much you’ll leave behind for your loved ones can weigh heavily on your mind.

We believe no one should face these challenges alone. We’re here to help you find financial protection, so you can focus on what matters most, your health and your family.

Can I Get Life Insurance Having Cancer in the past?

Yes, it is possible but it can depend on a number of factors. We work with a range of insurers who specialise in providing life insurance for cancer patients. The rates and extent of coverage depend on several factors, including:

  • Type of Cancer: Some types of cancer are considered lower risk than others.
  • Stage of Cancer: Early-stage cancer may have different implications than advanced-stage cancer.
  • Existing or Pre-Existing Condition: Whether your cancer is new or a recurrence can affect your policy.
  • Treatment Plan: The type of treatment you’re receiving and how well it’s working.
  • Severity and Management: How your condition is being managed and its impact on your daily life.
  • When you had the cancer

Our team of experts will work closely with you to find a cover that meets your needs. We understand that every situation is unique, and we’re here to provide compassionate, tailored advice.

Why Worry About Life Insurance as a Cancer Patient?

Life insurance isn’t just about planning for the future, it’s about protecting your loved ones and easing your worries today. Here’s why it matters:

  • Financial Security for Loved Ones: A life insurance policy could provide a safety net for your family, helping to cover daily expenses, debts, and future costs.
  • Medical and End-of-Life Expenses: The payout can help cover bills, funeral costs, and other end-of-life expenses, giving you peace of mind.
  • Legacy Planning: Life insurance allows you to leave a legacy for your children, contribute to a charity, or fulfil specific financial goals.
  • Mortgage and Debt Protection: The policy can help pay off outstanding debts, such as a mortgage, ensuring your family isn’t left with financial burdens.
  • Access to Living Benefits: Some policies offer ‘living benefits’, allowing you to access part of the payout while you’re still alive. This can help with treatment costs or improve your quality of life.

What Information Will I Need to Provide?

When applying for life insurance, you’ll need to share some personal and medical information. This helps insurers assess your situation and provide the best possible coverage. The details may include:

  • Your medical history and family history
  • The name of your condition and when you were diagnosed
  • Details of any hospital admissions and specialist referrals
  • The medications you’re currently taking
  • Your height and weight
  • Your general practitioner’s name and practice address
  • Information about your lifestyle (e.g., smoking, alcohol consumption)
  • Additional specific information about your condition

Our team will guide you through this process with sensitivity and respect. You’ll feel supported every step of the way.
