    I wasn't sure where to post this, so here goes.

    We went to see an insurance company today to arrange some insurances and change what we already have.

    I asked the lady about me taking out a life insurance policy to which she told me that once my BC is treated, and there is NED, I will not have a problem in getting insurance because here (France) they consider that BC is a very treatable disease, unlike some other types of cancer.

    I came away feeling a little bit more positive and thought I would share it with you all.

    Just to add my story I am now classed as 5 years NED and Bupa have now instated an insurance policy that will cover me for any future "issues" relating to the origial cancer and also any new primaries, I guess that says alot as insurance companies do not like forking out huge amounts of money on hopeless cases..It gave me a small boost to hear that they have faith the cancer will not (fingers X'd) rear its head again.

    No evidence of Disease. I think they use this more than the " remission " one now.
