Having cover "withdrawn" in these circumstances is normal practice although you would expect it to be handled with some sensitivity.
Surely, comp cover is for such things such as cancer? It’s the main thing that kills people after all....that’s what the insurance is for as opposed to a broken arm. Surely no one would ever take out private cover if it’s proved worthless when actually needed?
