Title: Living abroad during transition
Post by: LaLuchadora on July 12, 2014, 02:29:26 PM
Hi guys!

I've another quick question for y'all!

I've just gotten my second opinion for HRT (thanks for those who replied to my earlier topic), I'm now awaiting an appointment with my future endocrinologist and I'm still hoping to start blockers this side of Christmas. I will, however, be moving abroad for two years as part of my college degree next August (2015). I won't have any issues flying back home (a two hour hop) here and there for my check up appointments every few months and I will visiting home regularly aside from appointments but I'm just wondering will the doctors see that as an issue and tell me to wait until after I finish my course given that it's so early on in the transition?

I really hope they won't tell me that but what do you guys think? Would I be better off not mentioning it maybe? I'd be genuinely gutted if I had to wait another two years.

Thanks again!  :)

I really don't know, but I can't understand why it would matter.

Depending where you are living abroad, you may even want to look into their healthcare system coordinating with your doctor.
That way you don't have to put out the expense to come back for everything, especially if they have nationalized healthcare.
