I was lucky...just over a year before diagnosis we took out an income protection policy on me, as I am the main money earner in our 2 person business. I just scraped in the door and they paid me a lump sum, plus we had subsidised monthly income until I was working full-time. That really helped pay the rent etc. What a shame we couldn't afford at the time a higher premium for a bigger payout, like, be able to buy a house! That small amount I have set aside for any more treatments. Oh, and perhaps an OS holiday

After a year I could buy back the life policy for a piddly amount per month, around $21, for a death payout of $72k. All the other policies I'm sure won't have me, even tho' they "say" no questions asked... :rolleyes:
