Legal Question in Insurance Law in Florida

I had to cancel a trip due to a cancer diagnosis and subsequent surgery. I had purchased travel insurance, so I filed a claim. The insurance company told me that my cancer was a preexisting condition, even though I didn't know about it. The confirmation of the cancer was based on a biopsy performed six weeks after the insurance was purchased. Is it legal for my claim to be denied?
