@azkidney57- First off and big yay, yay, yay. Cancer free right now is a 100% positive thing! Secondly hear hear on how you are advocating for yourself and phrasing it beautifully. If you can, I vote for making the move. I travel over 1 hr to get to MGH for my treatments, tests, scans etc. If your illness deams it necessary to be closer than don't hesitate. Other than your cancer are there other outside factors that are stressing you out that you can change>

Merry, the other outside factors that are non cancer related that stress me are my job, my family, certain members, my boyfriend was an issue but he left. I am so relieved! I can change jobs. As for my family,” it is what it is”. At this point I am accessing the damage and taking stock of my life. I don’t feel I can plan for the future anymore. I can plan for 4 months at a time. I know I am lucky I have that. I know others don’t. The truth is my life is now centered around the “cancer”. I don’t want it to take over my life but it really has to a great extent. It is the big white elephant in the room. It can’t be ignored! I just need to learn how to live the best life I can. That will be my new challenge.
