Travel insurance

I need to look at getting some travel insurance for a holiday in Europe. I'm dreading to even start looking because I fear that the premium is going to be high. What's people's experience with travel insurance since being diagnosed. Any suggestions of reasonable priced reliable companies?

I'm a bit nervous. My daughter and I are traveling to NYC Saturday for a week and it's the first time I am outwardly using assistive devices like my cane and I just bought a walker. I am really hoping it goes well. I don't get a lot of exercise and I also have a desk job.

About to get on a plane for the first time in years and the first time since my diagnosis, I used to love flying but now I’m very anxious and want to just stay home. Too many uncertainties.
