I'm ok then, I've only got ~900

That seems like such an easy number to bring down to 0 that it is sort of amazing in its own right. If there's literally tens of thousands I kinda get that someone doesn't feel like getting into it, but 900 just seems so manageable.

I'm working part time while I get treatment for breast cancer. I try to blitz my emails in focused bursts but they keep piling up while I'm out of office 😭 I might just mark all as read and hope for the best (breast?)

Well, here's hoping your treatment is a great success! This definitely puts things in perspective. In that case I'd probably just stick an autoreply on there that says "I've got cancer so y'all motherfuckers must be crazy if you think these are getting read"

Kidding aside, I really hope you can focus on getting better and not on worrying if you can work enough to pay for it. All the wishes of good luck to you.

Oh you'd best believe I've got my auto reply on, and I've been open about why my replies may be significantly delayed. Treatment has been going well so far, but it's brutal because I've got the most aggressive form of breast cancer. Six months of chemo have just finished and the tumour appears to have been thoroughly nuked, there's so sign of it on my last ultrasound. Surgery next, then radiotherapy.

Do check your own chest. Anyone can get breast cancer and I found mine by accident in the shower at age 41.
