Thanks to all of the answers they were very helpful, I'm looking for life insurance. Thanks so much. I'm so glad I joined this group alot of things happening at one time and I didn't know what to do and in what order so this helps a great deal. Just being able to get some guidance and you all have helped!
Life insurance policies are never written for people with cancer, heart conditions, dementia and a number of other pre-existing conditions. Burial policies are no more than 25,000 and don't pay off for at least two years. I tried to tell my husband he was uninsurable and he did not believe me. I tried to tell my FIL he was uninsurable, too. They found out the hard way.
Out of curiosity, I did a quick Google search and found several companies that do offer cancer insurance. However, I don't have any idea what the premiums might be, but I do expect they would be high.
Just Google "cancer insurance", then check out the hits. It might take some time, but you might also find a company with decent rates and coverage.
Some years ago I received a solicitation for cancer insurance to be added to an existing policy, but I don't have any of that information any more.
You could call Gilda's House and ask if they know of any cancer insurance. A cancer society (not the cancer relief funds or foundations) might also have information.
Or, as StaceyB suggests on another post, ask your oncologist or social worker at the infusion center.
