          Hi Scooby, I’m surprised that no one has any thoughts on travel insurance. Do you mean insurance for the trip (as in flight changes, etc) or medical insurance while on holiday? Airlines will let you change or cancel flights in the US for free if it’s for medical reasons. Not sure about hotels. And if you go to a country with socialized medicine, they will treat you without question. Both my friend and brother-in-law had medical problems while overseas, and both were treated and released with no bill. These were, however, not melanoma or immunotherapy related problems. Hope you’re doing well!
