Many thanks for the good wishes.

I was sorry to learn about your family loss; however, the knowledge
would not have changed my outlook. I look at the statistics for survival
rather than those for less positive outcomes. He sounds like he was a
man after my own heart: if I don't get through, I will have, at the
least, helped pave the way for others.

Incidentally, I'm quite proud of having MCL. If I have to go then it's a
rarity that takes me rather than something common :-D
