You also got out the word about oral cancer and the problems with misdiagnosis and are continuing to do so. While the government is going by the letter of the law, you may have lost the battle but I think you won the war. It's time to get on with your life and try to recover from the grief and anger you are feeling. I'm am so happy to hear you will have 5 weeks in Dubai. Go enjoy yourself, Robin would want you to.
Take care, Eileen
