jppe,
I'm new here and I want to offer you my solidarity.
You had very nice words in this thread. I only want to add (based on my observation of similar cases on friends and relatives) That, the worst part is getting the bad news (if there is a bad news...). I know it's easy to say it. I'm sorry. But in the worst case scenario you will still continue to live a long and active life! One of the best things of living these days are medical advances and CF frames :-)
My best Regards and please excuse my intromission.
Pablo
