Most policies have a clause in them that you agree you haven't been Dx. or hospitalized in the past YEAR for any of the following...cancer being one of them. I tried to increase my insurance and had to fill out the same type of form.However, I was told that if you haven't had any "problems" in a three year period you do not have to report that you have cancer. Only talk mind you.Take comfort in knowing that God has reserved a special place in Hell for insurance company executives!Take care;Kevin K. C. Fri, 11 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT Hi Cathy,I tried to get long-term insurance and have tried for life insurance and was denied because I had a history of lupus ... not cancer.  My lupus had been in remission for several years and it did not matter; I was still denied.I agree with Kevin about insurance executives!Lois LoisA Fri, 11 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT Dear Kevin and Lois:Thank you for your reply.  I will do a search on Yahoo with "life insurance for cancer patients" tonight after work and will let you know of the outcome.Have a blessed day! Cathy    Cathy08 Mon, 14 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT Good Morning Cathy;Have you had any luck in finding an insurance company willing to write a policy on us?If so, could you provide the details and numbers?Thanks in advance.Take care;Kevin K.
