Oh Arathorn, I hope it won't be necessary, but I should point out that you can overplay the "you've got to be nice to me, because I've got cancer" card... my aunt's best friend who (last I heard) was still partying hard 5 years after her 18 months to live expired now gets cheerfully greeted by her friends with "Aren't you dead yet?"...so there are no fixed rules even if it is the worse news.....

Anyway since you have saved me the main work I shall concentrate on the commentary, but that will have to be after work now.
