After a bonemarrow punction it was discovered that the leukemia has returned full force. There is no known treatment left over. There are still some months together left, but that's it.

So very sorry to hear this Marius, leukaemia's such an egregiously cruel disease, not just for the sufferer but to those around them too. I told Chris Z about it earlier today. He is a bone marrow donor with the Antony Nolan Trust and he was extremely upset to hear your news. Please look after yourself properly as well as Frederique.
With love to you both from the whole of Team Zarse.
Andy
PS If anyone wants any more information on the Anthony Nolan Trust, or even to become a donor, the Trust is a great starting point. http://www.anthonynolan.org.uk/ I hope there's a Dutch equivalent too, if someone would like to post a link.

But thank you for sharing the news with us - in many ways it is not easy to do that but, compared to the challenge ahead, it probably is easy. You know that you have the support of everyone on the forum here. If we can do anything to help, then please just let us know, either on the board or by PM. I wish you the very best for enjoying and celebrating every second, of every hour, of every day, whilst you are able to, and that you are able to keep hope and love in your heart.

Marius,
All the postings above cannot be expanded to show my shock and sadness at this news. Below is a famous verse that I hope will give some comfort to both of you.
One night a man had a dream.
He dreamed he was walking along
the beach with the Lord.
Across the dark sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene, he noticed
two sets of footprints in the sand,
one beloning to him and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of his life
there was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it happened at the
very lowest and saddest times in his life.
This bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it.
"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life there is
only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when I needed you most
you would leave me."
The Lord replied "My precious, precious child,
I love you and would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffereing,
when you see only one set of footprints in the sand,
it was then that I carried you."
Live for every second that you are together.
Jerry

But it don't.
And it won't.
And we know it.
And we are unable to do one damn thing about it.
And we cry some more.
And the tears are coming as I write and remember.

Flabbergasted also. Paddy and Paul visited us this evening presenting a cheque with an for us unbelievable amount on it. We have no way of expressing how your sympathy makes us feel. A big thank you is all we can come up with.
Today we also heard from the doctors that there is only one option left, the same treatment as 8 years ago, to which Frederique said quit clearly no to.... I don't wanna state any expectations of success, but they are low, very low. But it's the only option left. They want her to hospitalised asap off course, but will have to give us a bit more time, as we wan't one of our 'to-do's' done before they start treating her, we are getting married on Januari 7th. We will have our honeymoon before instead of after, and will leave for a couple of days in Bergen, Norway, Thursday 20th.
Again, a big thanks to all of you for your sympathy.

I'm also glad though that, of all things that CA and DfH can't usually manage to do very well, this one remained a surprise. Thanks to the DfH guys for organising it and making it happen.
I really hope that you have a great time in Norway, over Christmas, and a super wedding on 7 January, before you go through the turmoil of treatment and the uncertainty that it brings. I hope, too, that you can find a dazzling rainbow at some point in each and every day to brighten and lighten the load.
All the very best to both of you,

I'm saddened to have to bring this one up again.
Last saturday we found out that the last threatment didn't work, which was confirmed officially today by the specialist. We will have some months together, which we will try to enjoy as much as possible. As you can understand I won't be much online for the time to come, not even sure if I will be at any racetrack in the next months.

Marius and Frederique,
To both of you, I am so, so, very sad to hear the news, and I can give you nothing but that you are both in my thoughts, with love.
Celebrate what you have enjoyed,
Enjoy whatever else you can,
The results of a love that leaves
footprints and memories which no one can ever steal.
I'm sure you will get angry and upset,
but acceptance will strip away the boundaries and constraints
of life back to the simplicity of feelings
that fly high with the sun, wind, moon and stars in your faces.
Hope that helps, but please, please, remember that we are here, and can give you whatever practical and emotional support we can, or just help you have fun.

Marius and Frédérique,
Although I posted my thoughts of my saddness at you news news earlier. After reading mgmarks poem, it brought back times when I was saddened and I therefore offer you this famous poem.
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORD.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonging
to him, and the other to the LORD.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of
his life there was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it happened at the very
lowest and saddest times in his life.
This really bothered him and he
questioned the LORD about it:
"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow
you, you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life,
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when
I needed you most you would leave me."
The LORD replied:
"My son, my precious child,
I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."
You are both in my thoughts.

It's not unexpected, though a little sooner than the initial prognosis posted by Marius on 18th March, so it seems the poor lass was even cheated out of her last few months.
I'm really sorry mate, there's nothing really anyone can say at times like these to make things better, it's just so many well-meant but unltimately useless words. But i just want you to know that everyone here is so desperately sad for you and you're in our thoughts.
Look after yourself Marius and see you soon,

Thanks guys/gals. Still can't believe it she's gone. The mourning card as we've send out today looks like this.
(http://www.soetiepoe.nl/showit/RouwkaartFretvoorkantWeb.jpg)
(http://www.soetiepoe.nl/showit/RouwkaartFretachterWeb.jpg)
The ceremony will be held on Wednesday 9th in The Hague.
The card states basicly that she fought hard, we love her, and the standard jabbadabba. Last sentence states: Frets last wish was that we would have beer together afterwarths. We'll let you know on wednesday which pub we're going.
You've just got to love her for it, don't you?
