Hi anon,
The numbers don't look too good, but it will be easier to answer your questions if you can provide the exact details of your policy beyond just the numbers (e.g. which plan was it, is there a cashback component, etc).

You'll really have to sit down and crunch the numbers before deciding to continue or not.
