A vagabund life (as a scientist)

I am on the Jobhunt (Academic). I do this because I will live and not succumb like the 99.5% of Patients in the graph below.
Of course I don't tell, who would hire somebody who might be facing death within the next year? So whoever reads this: Psssht!!!! Don't tell! ;-)))
You might say: It is not ethical to withhold such a crucial information, to your future employer (betrayal of trust). But I don't have a choice, do I? and, hey, posting this here, I have told the world!!! ;-))) (even if the world doesn't listen!) So after returning from a wild traveltour around the world with a number of stops, I am back home... Too early to tell what will happen. Of course I will have to coordnate with HER. And I hope things will fall into place. It is so difficult, to live with a potential expiration date, well the next MRI is coming up and then I will have another idea about what my odds are, I decide: if this one is still tumor-negative, I believe in my survival. And, maybe, if she wants, I will marry HER and lead a VERY happy life. "happily ever after".
Of course there is no statistics that would support this statement.
Well, still: Kids are probably out of the question. Too irresponsible. And obviously poor genetic material (=cancer-prone me!)
