I must also thank everyone in COLONTOWN, an online community for those affected by colorectal cancers. It has always been a wonderfully supportive place and has helped me a great deal.
To my parents-in-law, Miroslav Jirák and Iva Jiráková, who, especially when times were tough, helped out more than they ever could know and have been just the best grandparents to our boys. Without their support (and endless help looking after the children), I could never have written the book.
To my sister, Ruth, thanks for all the love and support, not in the least for help answering all my nervous medical questions!
To Mum, thanks for all the love and for always believing in me, as a son and as a writer. You always had a quiet confidence in me and that is the best gift you can give someone. You are the best mum in the world and I am so lucky to have you.
To Dad, thanks for being a wonderful father and for teaching me, without ever saying a word, to never give up. I just wish you could be here now.
Most of all, to my wife, Markéta, who has given me so much: all the love, support, tolerance of my “jokes,” but also, practically, the time to write. You always said to me, you have to get better, I know you’ll get better—and that was enough. I couldn’t have done any of it without you.
And to my two boys, Tommy and Danny. You are my world, my everything, but please stop hitting me in the balls.
