article in yesterdays paper re woman migrating and results of her medical
apologies if this has already been discussed (i searched but didnt find anything)
did anyone see the article in the paper about that poor woman who was planning to migrate with her family to aus...went for medicals but was found to have multiple cancerous tumours on her liver, pancreas and other organs? she apparently passed away 10 weeks after the medical officers findings being confirmed.
..........makes you dread your medicals though, doesnt it.
my condolences to her family, how awful for them.

When my eldest sons medical came back dodgy we went to see a consultant. Thankfully all was well in our case however he did tell me of someone who's medical showed a very bad heart defect which subsequently meant the person lost all hope of going to Aus
I remembered having real mixed feelings at the time. Happy on our part, but thinking how that poor sods hopes had been dashed, especially knowing the hurdles they'd obviously gone through
Just to put balance on this though....and not to scare anyone...it IS rare. Thank goodness.
There for the grace of god eh.........

I feel sorry for the woman involved but at least she found out she had something and was hopefully able to make the most of her last days and to be there for those who cared for her.

Even if something bad is found it is not always the end of your dreams ...
I was told of a chap whose meds showed up cancer in his lung. He went on to have op and treatment. He obviously got all clear re-applied etc and is now living happily in oz and just has regular check ups there.
In fact having the meds when he did saved his life.

We found out my son has a minor heart defect which has the potential to get worse as he gets older.
Having the medical meant we found it early and he now has regular annual tests to keep an eye on it .

]Just to put some perspective on this m8.....
My son, the one with the heart defect, is the fittest of us all. In fact when we went for the XRays..... three of us looked like pie eaters, whilst this son is so fit and healthy he looked out of place with us couch potatoes
We even joked it looked like we'd ate all his meals
Anyways.....when it came back that he was the unfit one none of us could believe it. We were upset and gobsmacked...to say the least.
So...the moral of the story is it doesn't matter if you smoke, drink or are slightly overweight etc...there is no rhyme nor reason. So stop worrying.
Anyways, worrying is crap for blood pressure...so stop it
