Has anyone moved houses while having treatment? I know is a silly question but we put our house on the market before my diagnosis, and just recently had an offer on it. Will I still be able to keep the same hospital? Only moving about 10 miles from current location.
Thank you
Hi Vextal
Moving house, how exciting! Although I guess it's been made more difficult during the pandemic. I hope you don't mind me popping in, as I'm not a member of this group, but I do have experience of moving house whilst having treatment.
Four years ago we were in the middle of moving when I was diagnosed with melanoma. I'd had the excision biopsy but needed follow-up surgery and, to be honest, it never crossed my mind that the planned surgery might have to be done elsewhere.
I obviously changed my GP to the surgery where I moved to but I continued having treatment at the original hospital and my three monthly check-ups to. I just gave them my new address when they were checking my details at the first appointment I attended.
I moved to a hospital nearer to where I live for my continued check-ups when my original consultant retired and I thought that as I was going to be having a new consultant I might as well have one at a more convenient hospital.
I don't know if it makes any difference with the type of treatment you might be having but for peace of mind I'd just give your CNS a call.
I hope the move goes well.
