Good advice, but I don't think he would agree to me contacting them - he's stubborn, doesn't want to feel like he's "begging" plus I don't really want to tell him what I'm thinking about the downside estimate of his prognosis right now - I think it's important to have hope (and I do - just tempered by knowledge of how badly it could go).

On another note - I just opened up my email and somehow the button had been toggled so that instead of showing most recent emails first it showed oldest emails first. That meant the first thing I saw were some old emails from my ex from 2006 that I had left on as proof that things weren't always as they were in the divorce. Loving mushy sweet emails just like you might expect from someone still in love with his wife after 24 years together.These emails date from just 1-2 years before the final bomb drop. They creep me out now but it's just proof of how they rewrite history when they go through their crisis.
