    You will never be able to qualify again at a decent rate for  LI. So get what you can.

    Agreed with Iceman

    Take the opportunity to add life insurance while you can honestly say you don't have a cancer diagnosis.

    Yes, investigate the

    Yes, investigate the possibility of getting life insurance through your husband's employer.  Being an employer-sponsored fringe benefit program, you may be surprised to find that restrictions (such as cancer) are pretty loose.  Then again, maybe not.  It bears checking out, that's for sure.
