Getting travel insurance while on watch and wait for follicular lymphoma can indeed be challenging and expensive. This is a common frustration since insurance companies often view any cancer diagnosis as higher risk, even when the condition is being monitored without active treatment.

While watch and wait is a valid medical approach for follicular lymphoma that doesn't require immediate treatment, insurance companies may not fully understand this nuanced approach. Some tips that may help:
• Work with an insurance broker who specializes in coverage for people with medical conditions
• Get documentation from your doctor explaining that your condition is stable and under monitoring
• Consider comparing multiple specialist insurers rather than mainstream travel insurance companies
• Look into whether any lymphoma support organizations offer guidance on recommended insurers
• Check if annual multi-trip policies might work out more cost-effective than single-trip coverage
