I have a message from one of chique’s friends. Sadly she tells me that chique has been moved into hospice and is receiving “comfort measures only.” Please keep chique and her family and friends in your thoughts and prayers. ---

Not surprised, but I’m very sorry to hear it. In case anyone missed it, [here’s the thread from November where **chique** discussed finding out that the cancer had returned.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=540300) [Her blog can be seen here.](http://ahnolds-babies.livejournal.com/) She decided to stop treatment in late March and hasn’t updated it for about a month. ---

Thanks for posting this, **Tuba**. I’ll post any updates as I get them. I’ve asked if I can share her address, so people can send cards/notes, too. **chique** has been a friend to so many of us for what, 10 years now? Wow, yeah. I don’t really know what else to say. ---
