Re: Career crossroad

What would you do different if the suspicious follow up was bad? Would you stay at your current job because of insurance and support? If so...try and see if they would extend their deadline until Thursday so you can have your Onc's feedback. Also...ask on Monday if somebody (radiologist) could look right now and give you feedback and if there is anything they can do for you (to speed the process) since you are considering a lifechanging decision. Our clinic now reads the mamogram while you are there to determine if further diagnostics are necessary (i.e. ultrasound).
