I hope it does not come in the post, and I am not being smart. I am genuinely not being smart here. If a woman was diagnosed three years later than she potentially could have been, and if her prognosis now is terminal rather than a condition treatable through hysterectomy or whatever, that is going to be extremely difficult. As bad as things were for someone in that situation yesterday, this news is going to be very difficult to deal with. I hope there will be none of the carry-on we have seen where people were brought into the same room, or anything of that ad hocnature.

There is no room here for messing around.
