We've been researching the life insurance thing for about 2 weeks now. I had to submit my husband's path report and we were told all companies declined to insure at this time. Mutual of Omaha offered a $25,000 whole life policy for $119/month but I believe there are some restrictions.

DH was 3b and ended treatment in January of 2015 so he's just about at 5 years. That made no difference to the underwriters. We may have to give it a few more years.
