Hi all,

Just curious...have any of you or someone you know with cancer bought a "term" life insurance policy since being diagnosed? If so, what company and are the rates (as probably should be) sky high?

    No, I would assume that it is

    No, I would assume that it is impossible.  The only type that you could probably get is something that says no medical background or checks.  There are some firms that do that, but I think just for small amounts, nothing substantial.

    I did.

    7 years after my diagnosis this agent got me $500,000 coverage for 15 years for around $400/month. Expensive, but I have a daughter so as long as I can afford it I'll keep paying.

    Long time no see

    Hi Laz,

    How good to see you here! I hop all is ok in your world! I guess as a dentist these have been tricky times.

    Kind regards

    Liz

    I do not actually know anyone

    I do not actually know anyone doing so, and to be honest, I do not even think that it is kind of possible.
