Neil,
It’s a Travel Health Insurance package duration 2 years in my husband's company (Japanese company) for their employees and their families for international travel. For domestic travel they already have National health insurance, so it's mainly used for international travel. That is, when we need health care in a foreign country.
The fine print conditions didn't only say in general "steroids", it stated very clearly PREDNISOLONE users, so couldn't be mistaken. I suppose I can apply when I'm off the drug.
Having surgery within the last 6 months was out too. I think it all comes down to a play of words: Is a stem cell transplant considered surgery?
I was once told that my MDS was not leukemia, was not cancer, just a "syndrome", a disorder
.
I would love to hear from AA/MDS/AMl/PNH... people flying internationally what kind of insurance they buy.
