Damaged goods

We are pressing ahead with plans for our Sweden holiday next week.
We'll be staying with a group of friends in an idyllic spot on the rugged west coast.
More on that closer to the time.

Everything is now booked - flights, hire car, even the nice person who will meet us at Heathrow terminal 3 and drive off in our car.

Travel insurance has been one sticking point. As soon as i declare that "yes, i have had cancer in the last 5 years" but "no, it isn't terminal" and most importantly "no, i'm not travelling abroad for treatment", they've heard enough. Its like i'm damaged goods, although i personally don't see it that way.
We all have our European Health Insurance Cards (which replaces E1-11 form), but full travel insurance?? On one hand, you feel naked without it. On the other, you're peeved on returning home, that you spent so much money on the policy and haven't had the opportunity to claim. Or is that just (weird old) me?

The only thing that might throw a spanner in the works, is a blood test that i need to take before the trip. Saturday's "full blood count" will list all sorts of different values, including Neutrophils, which indicate levels of immunity.
I need a value of more than 1.0 for the doctors to be happy that i can travel safely. Normal levels are between 2.5 & 4. After chemo round 1 my Neutrophil level was 1.4.

I seriously hope it has bounced back by Saturday and would value your prayers that this happens.
