That ought to do it, start wearing plaid! Really, I would second the "hang in there". If this behavior was only noted after the diagnosis and recent, I would look into the possibility of metastasis to the brain, but it sounds like this behavior is pre disease and long standing (at least two wives and many girlfriends). So....best of luck and learn to take it with a grain of salt. Well, I would only add that any self respecting evil Scottish queen, dead or alive would wear plaid.
