Hi Willowsmum, 

Thank you for coming here and sharing your story. I am so sorry to hear that you had a pulmonary embolism after starting chemotherapy and that you had lesions in your liver and peritoneum. You have been through so much poor you and I hope that this round of treatment will be kinder to you, that you will tolerate it better and that there will be no further infections. 

Best of luck with the move from Lincolnshire to Yorkshire. Moving is always a bit stressful but it will be comforting to be closer to your family and to have their company and support. It's normal to worry about transferring your care after a move, but it should be a straightforward process and something they will be used to dealing with on a regular basis. You will probably need to find a new GP surgery that covers your new postcode and register there - you can find out more about this on the NHS page on registering with a GP surgery. 

It might also be worth requesting an adequate supply of your regular medications from your old GP before moving, as the transfer process can take up to a week. If you are currently on a waiting list or receiving ongoing specialist care, let your new GP know so they can re-refer you to a local hospital trust. It should all go really smoothly. 

I hope that you will hear from other members of our community who have had their medical care transferred to another area - it's always interesting to hear other people's experiences and moving stories. I hope you won't mind but I have slightly edited the title of your thread to reflect your situation so that it can be more easily spotted by others who might have been in a similar boat in the past. 

Best of luck with the move! You are moving to a beautiful and friendly area and I hope that you will be really well looked after.
