A relative of mine who was diagnosed with cancer in the 1990s started having the mistletoe injections. It was a very new treatment then. Sadly the nearest place where it was available was a couple of hours drive away, and he wasn't well enough to go more than a couple of times. What might have been

Hmm, I'm sure most of mine are goners, but not confident they'll all go this year. Glad I haven't stooped to jokering cancer brides.

I'm not shy either. Don't see the point of secrecy after the game has started. I gave most of last year's under-performers another chance.

That wasn't the question. But I think you're trolling me now.
