Oh, that is BAD news. Sorry to hear that. At least mine was only a mini-stroke!

We are old (80/76) and with medical issues. That’s the risk factor, sadly! Believe me, we had quotes double or more … and many providers didn’t want to know! One quote was for that sum for ONE trip!

The decision, simple … pay the money or stay at home for the rest of our lives!

Great to see the TR. glad that the cancer convenience hasn’t impeded the delicious cigarettes. I would love to consume them if given a limited diagnosis.
great job getting the travel insurance.
