Vulnerable cancer patients are asked to pay an extortionate amounts of money to travel abroad. Often cancer patients are in receipt of a reduced income and can not afford the cost of travel insurance. Cancer patients are penalised for being ill.

More details

Often cancer patients have to pay in excess of £1000 to travel for one week within Europe. This is most often more than the cost of their holidays; adding undue stress to a situation which is already stressful.
