As you may be aware, we have been involved in lots of discussions around cancer patients and their ‘Right to be Forgotten’ when it comes to accessing some financial services. The Association of British Insurers have gotten in touch to provide some advice and guidance on procuring the best travel insurance for local people with pre-existing medical conditions (including cancer):

“Here is a link to our guidance for travel insurance for people with pre-existing medical conditions including cancer. The Money Helper travel insurance directory and the British Insurance Brokers Association Find Insurance directory can both point people towards specialist providers including ones based in Northern Ireland. We also have guidance on access to protection insurance (including life insurance) for people with pre-existing medical conditions which you can view here.”

Early Diagnosis is Key #CatchItEarly

Oesophageal cancer like many other cancers does not discriminate between age or sex and knowing and recognising the signs and symptoms are crucial to early diagnosis.  If you suffer from any of the following symptoms for longer than 3 weeks you should consult your doctor.

  • Persistent Indigestion
  • Difficulty swallowing or food sticking
  • Heartburn acid reflux
  • Hiccupping that wont go away
  • Unexplained weight loss.
