Oh dear Mimi ~ Please know we knew 'one' of us per Scarlett was going through a rough time and not until today were we aware that it was you and your dear DH. Please know that you have been in our thoughts and many prayers have been said, and will continue to be said.

May you gain strength from those who love you! Tiff

Mimi,
You have brightened so many people's day on so many forums. At a time like this, with what you are going through I wish there was some way we could return the favor. Take comfort in the knowledge that a broad spectrum of people from many countries are thinking kind thoughts for you and your husband.

Mimi,

So sorry to hear about your husband. As someone who has survived cancer twice (21 years plus another scare last summer), I know first hand the angst of diagnosis and treatment. Hope that he heals quickly and that you may enjoy years of beloved France together.

With best wishes,
Margie (and Larry) Krakauer

Mimi, as I told Scarlett about you just the other day, the person we choose to love is so much a part of the person we become that I know your husband must be a very dear man indeed.

I've been sending my thoughts to embrace you in a gentle hug, to right you when you stumble, and to acknowledge in the night your unspoken fears.

The countless many of us who have been the recipients of your kindness now send that all goodness back to you, in the hope that it will bring your husband strength, and calm, if only for a moment, your worried heart.

Dear cigalechanta,

I cannot imagine how frightened and anxious you are at this moment. To hear the word "cancer" from a doctor must be devastating. I will pray for strength for you both and also for the doctors to find just the right methods to treat this illness.

Blessings to you both.

Mimi,

I haven't known you other than from your postings here, which I've appreciated.

I know this is a tough time for you, 'cause I've been through something similar myself.

I wish you to be strong and don't give up. Good things can still happen at any time.

Gabriel
