Hi, wow you have a lot going on, and it will never ever be a good time to find out about medical challenges.

Sounds like you have massive life changes ahead, so take any positives you can, and try to find some mental head space for yourself. And reach out to anyone you feel comfortable to trust. One day at a time!
