Good. He's a strong man. He's keeping up his strength. He'll need it to make a great recovery. Ride on Raleighdon

Mimi, Don--with your help--is gonna kick cancer's a**! At least I sincerely hope so. We're all pulling for you.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

Love you both.

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

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

Mimi, it all sounds very terrifying and overwhelming but I think you guys will come through this just fine. The universe never gives us more than it knows we can handle, even if we sometimes don't think we can. Sending you guys tons of positive vibes and virtual hugs for strength.
