Hi, I had just moved to Australia with my Aussie husband and dog. We uprooted our entire lives in August. Due to the fact I already had Crohn’s disease, my visa got delayed (being married to an Aussie is no advantage) so I had no health cover when I found a lump. We paid out of pocket for the ultrasound and biopsy etc but upon diagnosis,  knew I had to be treated in UK. I had to leave my dream home, our beloved dog who’d already been through a long flight plus quarantine, the family we’d moved to be near, my new job… EVERYTHING… My husband was able to stay with me for 6 weeks but he’s had to go home now so I am back at my parents and very grateful to have their support… but OMG, how *** is this?????? I’m sad, yes, but overwhelmingly, I can’t get past the anger and bitterness and I just do not know how or when this could change. My life is 100% RUINED! I will never get a visa for Australia now as they don’t want “an undue burden on the Australian tax payer” (fair enough) and I am just praying that the cancer hasn’t spread (will find out next week) so I can at least have treatment. But what is life, just living between scans, praying it hasn’t come back, knowing it probably will? How can anyone ever be happy after a cancer diagnosis?
