A friend from my days at college has been diagnosed with a cancer and his most recent posting sparked the following riposte from yours truly:
"I'm sure most drug names are made up of the tiles left on players' racks in a poor game of Scrabble. They always seem to the Q without a U and always X Z and Y in them. I'm waiting for a drug with a name like zyxkroflolitnib to appear.
"Bollocks, I just Googled it and they have!"
