When, weatherwise, so much of the country took a right to the chin during the recent Christmas period, with such severe cold gripping so many of us, I suspect a lot of people, likely more than the usual number, were saying to themselves, "Enough! We're going to retire and move somewhere where the weather is bearable year round!"

But if one is in the midst of treatment for a cancer, such as PCa, what will this mean in terms of transferring treatment to a new oncology practice or hospital, soon likely to be hundreds of miles away, possibly in a southern state of the U.S.?

It's one thing to plan on new living quarters elsewhere, a new lifestyle, but making arrangements for continuation of cancer treatment in a new place, soon to be called home, is another matter.

Here's an article about what seems like a very typical situation: a couple wishing to retire to a warmer state, but needing to assure themselves that ongoing cancer treatment will be available in the new place for one of them.

It's a short read, but with what seems like some good advice they got on how to go about arranging to do this.

(Unfortunately it appears that the automatic forum censor is alive and functioning, and you will have to copy this link to a work area, adjust it so that "market-w-a-tch" (no quotes or dashes) replaces the term with asterisks, copy it to your browser, and then call it up. Computers can be so funny at times).

And here's another short read on the topic, and typical of most of the advice write-ups I found online about this, in that all were mostly saying: be flexible, adjust plans as needed, but also remember that it's your life, and you decide how you want your retirement, and the cancer treatment that may accompany it, to go.

Or it may turn out for some that one's current treatment program is going so well that remaining with it is the best option, and moving away to another one, likely good but still an unknown, hundreds of miles away, is a questionable move.

So for the sake of good ongoing treatment, just keep living with the cold.

Or maybe like the couple in the first link above, doing research, making inquiries now, and then deciding what to do, is the best way to go.

Hopefully good research will determine one's best course of action.
