A friend has had a cancer removed (about 7 months ago) and is due for another check-up in July 2008. We're travelling to USA in January and need to get travel insurance, but most companies say they won't medically insure anyone who has had cancer or is awaiting medical investigation. Can she get fully comprehensive insurance from anywhere?

I am sure there HAS to be some type of insurance out there for your friend, unfortionately I do not have the type. I bet your friend's doctor would be able to tell you though.
