Attention, Ladies: Breast Cancer Can’t Stop You from Getting Life Insurance, Says Trusted Quote

ROSEVILLE, Calif. - Oct. 14, 2013 - PRLog -- The American Cancer Society notes that 1 in 8 women (12.5 percent) will develop invasive breast cancer. Trusted Quote urges women with a family or personal history of breast cancer to lock in affordable life insurance rates by securing coverage as soon as possible. Currently, only about 57 percent of women have some sort of life insurance coverage.

Breast cancer is the second most common cancer among American women. It’s also the second leading cause of cancer death among women, according to the American Cancer Society.

“A history of breast cancer is one of the most common health problems we see in insurance underwriting,” says Ryan Pinney, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Trusted Quote. “We’re seeing more cases of women who are survivors thanks to the advances in medical care, abilities for treatment, and increasing awareness. The good news is that we can typically get a good offer for coverage if the cancer is detected early and treated properly.”

Survivors of breast cancer can still get life insurance coverage at affordable rates. Every woman’s medical history plays a role in what that rate will be. Insurers will look closely at the following information:

*What age were you diagnosed?
*What treatment did you receive, and how long ago did it end?
*What was the stage and grade of the cancer?
*Was there any lymph node involvement or metastasis?

“The industry at large—and Trusted Quote in particular—has lots of experience insuring women who’ve beaten breast cancer,” says Pinney. “We have access to support that will help you get the best offer based on your situation and history.” Free quotes are available from Trusted Quote here:http://www.trustedquote.com/uploads/landings/breast_cancer/index.html
