You guys are all amazing.
I've been on this forum for what, 4 - 5 years, and how many amazing women have I met here?!
Thanks for your good thoughts and supportive words. We got back from the doctor and he says it's treatable. It's nasty surgery, but hey, that's better than a death sentence!
Knott, just how close are you?

1. you are not alone, remember that
2. Ask for help, people are amazing but often feel helpless and don't know what you need
3. Hugs, hugs and more hugs
The Bike Hermit and I are thinking of you and thinking positive for a quick recovery.Sky King

I moved to the U District a couple weeks ago. I'm closer now, so seriously, call me for anything at all!

Just seeing this myself now too. I wish you and Don much strength as things unfold, and the best outcome possible. Hope recovery is uneventful.
I don't know Don at all, only through your posts, Mimi. I just went over to bike journal to read some of what he had to say. What an incredible person he is! What a fabulous energy and outlook on life!

I am so sorry to hear this, Mimi.
My husband just celebrated his 20th anniversary of remission following a bone marrow transplant for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. From what I know of Donald, having read your postings here and his own blog, they are very much alike with regards to health, personality, and attitude. The two of you will get through this. I know it.
Feel free to PM me anytime. I'd be happy to share more details with you if you are interested and/or think it might help.
Best wishes and positive vibes to you both.Health is the thing that makes you feel like now is the best time of the year--Franklin Pierce Adams
