Any helpful tips for companies that offer reasonable cover for "extreme sports" when you're having treatment for cancer?

I am trying to get insurance for a 3 week trip to the USA including rock climbing and a tandem parachute jump but I've recently had radiotherapy for cancer. Currently not having much joy!

Thanks

Mike

We've used insure and go for winter sports cover in Europe and a walking trip in the USA following chemo. I think they excluded any treatment related to the cancer but we thought the chances of emergency medical care because of it were non existent and we just carried the cancellation risk ourselves.

Thanks, they seem OK. I'll give them a ring, have you ever tried claiming through them?

Thankfully not, although a friend's dad did for a skiing injury and they were apparently ok.
