AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Only have 5 minutes to wirte this before I have to go to my onc appointment to find out how bad the recurrance is and what treatment etc is needed, but realy need to blurt for a bit.

So on top of all this worry and fear about this appointment today, which to be honest although I do try and be big tough and brave has realy not been very easy, this morning I woke up to an email to say that I got a job interview so am totally freaking out.

Its for a job as a lecturer in Australia (as I am actually from Australia) and is to start next year. I totally kind of forgot all about the fact I had applied as this crap totally took over my life for a bit, but now what do I do.

Do I have the interview, do I not, do I tell them about the cancer, or do I keep quiet. Oh I really want to go back to Oz. Should I just go now or have treatment here first and then go. To many possibilities. But maybe this is my silver lining. I dont know.

Guess we just have to wait to see how today goes first. Once we know all the facts maybe we can start to piece together some of this messy puzzle.

Sorry this must sound totally crazy and all jumbled but I just scared and excitied, and nervous, and one jumbled crazed ball of yuk. So youll just have to put up with my ramblings once again.

AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where will you be happiest Robynn, as surely that will make the fight against cancer easier ?.

But as for the job interview - difficult one to help!.

Do you feel up to the journey home ?

Can you travel when having chemo?

Lots of things to decide

whatever you decide - i offer you my very best wishes

If you decide to have your treatment here then I'm am sure the NHS will see you right.

8 years ago they took me on and my PSA is now 0.03.

So as for the job,? could you possibly do this job and continue treatment in Ossy.

I agree with Linnet, wait and see And Mal_ is always there with good solid advice.

May you God be with you and yours

Regards

Good luck with the appointment hun! And as for the job, well what have you got to lose? Go for the interview, nothing ventured, nothing gained and all that! You shouldn't have to tell them about the cancer, it's not something that should be considered when they make their decision whether or not to offer you the job, but if you feel you must tell them, then do so. It's not like Australia's a 3rd world country, any further treatment that you might or might not need you can get there... and it's home!

Still got my fingers crossed...

If I were you, get the appointment over with- see what treatment you are going to need. Only after then think about the job- You can get good treatment over here or in OZ so thats not such a bit thing. If I were you, I would go to the interview, home is home and sometimes thats what you need to do sometimes.

Loads of Hugs
