Is it the case that the high price is because you are trying to insure your Father with full cover including his cancerous condition ?

If you agree to an exclusion the price will, should, drop like a stone.

You can but ' you ' have to accept the risk and pay for it of course ... timing is key if he is in any immediate danger and / or if treatments are scheduled.

Hi my wife had cancer, she has been given the all clear now, which might mean we got a lower quote, but we got it through.

I use World First, covers my pre existing condition, and will cover me for an annual policy at a reasonable rate, which lots will not do
