00:00Hi, guys. Got your message. Thank you very much for your support. Everything's fine. I'm fit as a mad dog. All right, you take care.
00:12My name's Glenn. I'm Malcolm's son. And on behalf of Dad and the entire family, I just want to thank you all for the well wishes, the support. It's truly heartwarming and overwhelming.
00:24Dad was diagnosed with cancer last week. We haven't yet been given the specific type of cancer. We will find that out soon.
00:34However, in addition to that, a challenge that we have is Dad has short-term memory loss.
00:41So he can't remember last week being in hospital or the diagnosis. He's good with longer term.
00:47However, what we're finding right now is, as a result of all the calls and the text that he's getting, we're having to explain over and over to him that he's been diagnosed with cancer.
01:00And it's very emotional and challenging for him in that regard.
01:06So with all this in mind, again, I want to thank you for your concern.
01:11We've still got a way to go and there's still plenty of fight left in him.
01:15However, I would request privacy during this next short while, if that's OK, just so we can focus more on what he needs and supporting him with his health challenge,
01:27as opposed to having to explain to him over and over what's going on.
01:31So thank you again. Really appreciate it.
01:34We will pass on all of the love and the best wishes, and I will keep you updated.
