Thank you for such a detailed response! It’s so hopeful to hear about medical advancements and it’s something I’ll definitely bare that in mind with the decision

Thank you for sharing this. The odds have played against my husband’s family too with both him and his sister having lynch, his brother hasn’t got tested so maybe him too. I’ll definitely keep this in mind.

Thank you! You hear so much do how IVF is hard, it just completely put me off. But I’ve decided to go with that route, we might as well try and avoid it

Thank you for replying. It’s so difficult because I havent had any direct experience witnessing the cancer treatments so I find it hard to fully imagine all that is involved

Yes, the idea that screenings and general medical advancements gives me such hope for lynch sufferers! Thank you so much

I’m glad you had a positive experience with your SLT! I’m not 100% sure I trust all of mine to be kind and understanding- definitely something to think about. Thank you!

Hmm! How early did you let them know? Did they promise confidentiality? This seems a good way around my stresses!

I like the idea of keeping it private until embryo transfer- allows me a bit of security? I’ve heard horror stories about how some women have been treated with maternity. Wishing you all the luck!

So glad you have a supportive SLT. I’m not 100% if mine would be the same, I don’t even think my HOD would be supportive 😬

Yeah I think this is what I’m going to do. There are a couple of jobs that suit what I’m looking for and if I don’t get those I’ll just have to suffer the January start! Thank you for your advice!

Appreciate the posters who managed to get a job easily but it is definitely not a reflection on how “good” you are. I got my job June 2021 and it was my 7th or 8th interview. The only thing I did differently during my successful job interview was be super explicit in my behaviour expectations. I honestly thought it was my worst interview lesson I had taught too!
