I'm new to this, I'm 23 trying to help my mother anyway I can. Its hard enough knowing I'm slowly loosing her, I'm just trying to help her.

I am trying to find life insurance for my mother who has stage IV Cancer.

Does anyone know what company will insure these type of cases? There has to atleast be a few of them out there.

Hi,

I'm sorry to hear about your mom's battle with cancer.

Unfortunately, I'd be shocked if you found anyone that would give her life insurance. I can't get life insurance and I've been NED (No Evidence of Disease) for over 5 1/2 years.

I also am sorry about your mother's advanced cancer. I only have life insurance because I got it before being diagnosed with cancer. Once in a while I get offers to sell me insurance through my bank that state "No medical questions will be asked"... or something like that. But it is usually for a very small amount and at a high cost. I am like Nancy and would be surprised if any insurance company would offer your mother coverage. I am truly sorry about that.
