I wish to thank you all for your good wishes, so valuable as all such are.

My maximum hopes were to find another would-be tea gourmet (and certain tea
gourmand ) who had gone through chemo, and could have advised me from the
invaluable perspective of someone who'd been there.

Although I know the fact is hotly contested, I still think that the members
of this NG would be on the whole a little less likely to have gone through
something like this, because heavy tea-drinking *is* prophylactic against
certain types of cancer.

Health to all,
Ozzy

BTW, it's probably going to be a matter of years at least, so the luck is
already beginning. :-)
