Good evening Bill,
Sorry to read that you are having to consider these sorts of choices. But at least you are here and able to make them, so that is a good thing.
Experience of these sorts of situations? Many of us are dealing with a similar situation, although at different stages.
Chatting to a recently diagnosed friend, he is in his own state of turmoil, reassessing life and priorities.
One thing that most folks seem to agree on is not to make any long term or irreversible decision whilst upset, stressed or unclear, or until it has been fully explored.
Is there any way you can make all the relevant enquiries about what options may be open to you without alerting anyone who might not react favourably to the idea you might leave?
Then could you do the maths, explore what that future may hold? Be that including retiring, part time working, job change, moving, downsizing or whatever?
And if you could put those calculations away for a week or a month? Then revisit the same options plus any new options that you may have come up with, recalculate the outcomes again, and see how palatable they are a month later?
