Celine Dion's husband, Rene Angelil, recovering from 2nd bout of cancer

[c4n4d4]

I feel so strange about those news. Especially after all those rumours of them separating. I really wonder if anything was true about that?

You mean the rumors from the national enquirer? Pretty sure those were out to rest I mean c'mon it was the national enquirer and that is not a reliable news source at all

[Lu CelineFan]

Wow. This is scary you-know-what! How she is doing her shows, being a mother, and dealing with all this is beyond me. Those poor kids, I hope they had somewhat of a Christmas with all this, And I hope the fans who didn't have all their facts before complaining incessantly eat their words now. We never know everything. Yes, Celine is an open book, thank goodness, but there are things always going on behind the scenes and people should suspend such negativity until we have all the facts. She always has a good reason for things even if we don't see it/think so! It's hard and annoying to read through all the crap people write on here. I think everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I don't come here often anymore because the general consensus is usually negative and unfairly mean! I am scared to lose him because if we do, we could lose her. I don't know if she will go on when he leaves. I truly hope this is the last and final time they ever have to deal with the dreaded monster called Cancer. He beat it before and yes he is older but he can do it again!

 

I don´t think loosing him is loosing her. Of course she can decide to stop when he goes but I guess they already thought of it and maybe even have an idea of what to do in the future

 

We can´t tell the future, and thinking that Celine will quit her career because he is no longer here is just underestimate her.

 

I think we just have to pray for him right now, without fears or speclutaion, cause it doesn´t lead us anywhere.

I also think that her career is really not the most important aspect of a possible future without René. She has three kids, still a Vegas contract and I do think such a loss would be devastating for everybody. I do believe that she'd return to the music scene but only after many many years and I think that would be understandable.

I agree with you, personal life is more important but I don´t think she´s going to stop for many many years...sometimes work is the best thing to keep mind busy. But, you see, it´s just a guess. We don´t have how to know the way she is going to react in fact.

[celinelover03]

Yeah I agree with you guys...also I read somewhere that Rene has already created different plans for Celine to do if he is to retire at any time or to (knock on wood) pass away. I also read that Patrick will become her manager when all of that happens if she does continue her career, but yeah I'm positive she will....just after a long time because it's normal for her to want to spend as much time recuperating and gaining strength with her family. But as of now...I'm sure Rene is just fine and he is just taking time off from being her manager to recover that's all.

 

It scares me though because tbh I of course like everyone else don't want to Celine end her career any time soon, but the fact of Rene passing away just scares me

As fans, we all feel like we're a part of their lives you know? It's heartbreaking and as long as they don't find any more cancer and the tumor doesn't grow back, Rene will just be just fine

[NicoNV]

This has been discussed in the off topic/random thought thread.

 

But, I just wanted to add here that that my prayers are with them.

 

It is a positive thing that they could even do surgery. They do not owe anyone anything--in terms of interviews, sharing information, or career. I am sorry they had to share this at all, but based on a comment made in the random thought thread it appears they did so because so many people were asking about his health. That's too bad. I would hate to deal with something, only to have the world looking, asking questions, and then negtivity piled on in the midst of a difficult time.

 

I hope his recovery continues to go well. For her sake, I wish she could take time off (if that's what she wants anyway). I hope their entire family is doing well. RC is old enough to understand a little of what happened. I am glad they are a close family, that always helps when something like this comes up.

 

But, in terms of anything else or any other conversations---guys, he had a surgery that went well. There is no need to discuss negative things in connection to his health. Ability to operate on his cancer was a positive sign. Think of it this way, what if their son went on the internet and for some reason found all the articles and comments on his dad's health. If you can picture him reading your comment and being okay with it, then by all means post it. But, this is a very serious issue for any family to deal with--so let's not make it any worse.

(This last paragraph is not directed at anyone in particular. Just a reminder to stay positive).

There were no remotely plausible rumours about them separating. The story came from a ridiculous National Enquirer article that said she was seen without her wedding ring -- she has frequently chosen not to wear her ring over the years - it has no significance. That article came out during the Europe trip, when they were also filmed by Access Illimite together -- laughing, dancing, kissing each other and saying "I love you" to each other (go to 2:05 of this video. And then look at her snuggle against him at the end of the video):

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iu72empMPrk

 

The other place the rumour came from was a quote from an interview in a German newspaper which said that back in 2007 they were "close to separating." This was an interview which would have been conducted in English or French, translated to German, and then translated back to English by a forum member. That's two rounds of translation, at least one probably not professional, and it's most likely that it was just a mistranslation (i.e. she said something like "we were feeling far apart from each other" and it was translated as being "close to separating"). That is, if the interview was legitimate at all - since there were a number of things in that interview that didn't sound like Celine at all -- like she talked about wanting to recoup her investment on her house -- when does she ever talk about money like that? Regardless, she has said millions of times since 2007 how much she loves her husband, and we've all seen lots of lovely moments between them since 2007, so there wasn't anything to that.

 

I"m sure this is why they don't want to give interviews while Rene is recovering -- because rumours and stories start so easily and spin negative so quickly. I think Celine and Rene are a beautiful example of a couple who have sustained a marriage built on love, respect and mutual support, and I can only wish the best for them.

She herself said that they went through a rough patch about 7-8 years ago when she was on the carpet at Veronic's opening. I think they took that and ran with it!

Yes, they seem to have missed the part of the interview where she says that, despite their tough times, "We want our marriage to last forever."

It is most difficult to read some of the comments in this thread. Unfortunately, my husband died from Cancer. I could not imagine what I would do or say if I heard my friends or family discussing the possibility that my husband could die or what I should do if he were to die while he was still battling the disease and there was still hope,

I can only share my experience, what I did, what we did as a couple to fight this hideous disease. We never gave up hope, our faith was strong and our love stronger, even when the odds were not in my husband’s favor to beat the Cancer.

Unless you truly walk the path of a spouse who is the person supporting the one battling the disease, it is most difficult to understand the physical and emotional journey you both are on together. I hope no one here ever has to experience it.

[browseceline]

Yes this person who posted the picture must have something against her! The same with dutch newspaper Telegraaf who always likes to post the most hideous photo's with Celine on it, whenever an article is about her. This is just a sign this person does not like her, otherwise he would have picked a much better picture. And they have loads of pictures to choose from.

I once wrote Telegraaf after posting the same hideous picture again and asked them why they have to set her as as a clown each time they post an article. But they never responded.

I was saddened to hear this news! Throat cancer can be one of the quickest spreading cancers, thus limiting the odds of recovery, if you don't catch it soon enough. A co-worker of mine passed away recently from it. He beat all the odds for quite some time before his body finally gave out (although his was found at stage 4). Thank goodness they found it early enough and took care of it!

The photo definitely isn't the best but they also missed the twins age at the end of the article. They're three not four.

I was taken aback when I read the news. My father had a similar cancer. Thank goodness his Drs caught it before metastasizing to other areas of his body. Céline's inner strength and love for René will give him the drive for a speedy recovery. Wishing him all the best and the entire family.

Cant believe all the press this has lately, she bound to make a statement soon from the newspaper articles out there, it all has the same article, I think maybe after her show in March are done,

She did make a statement it's in the article I posted in the topic for random thoughts

[Angel2006]

Last time Rene had throat cancer 15 years ago, Celine was the one who found it. Celine said before that she knows alot about the trout and was feeling around Rene's trout and discovered a lump and they got it checked out right away.

 

I wonder if Celine discovered Rene's cancer again. She seems to be very in tuned with things. She has this intuition about her. She predicted that one day she would have twins, then she had a feeling RC was going to be born on Jan 25th and then she predicted her twins births and was correct with all her feelings.

 

I don't know. When it comes to her body she seems to be incredibly in tuned with herself and pays attention. She even managed to know that Eddy was shy and more reserved before he was even born. She new her twins personalities in the womb. She talked about it in a interview before.

 

I have just noticed many times through the years that Celine is very connected to herself and others.

In the end, I don't care how the cancer was discovered as long as it was found and caught in time which seems to be the case with Rene. Knock on wood.

 

I hope we hear more about Rene and how he is doing, but at this time we need to allow Celine and Rene the time and space to deal with this privately. In time they will let us know all the details. We know Celine is an open book and will tell the public everything when she and Rene are ready.

From reading "My Story, My Dream" I thought Rene had noticed a lump in his throat, but didn't tell Celine straight away, and she was angry with him for not telling her or getting it checked sooner...

If someone could be kind of enough to translate this article, for us ,

 

I don't have time to do all of them right now, but the introduction (the left side of the first page) just talks about the surprise of his illness. But, that it appears to be positive, based on the press release which stated the surgery was a success, and that Rene has taken a step back and is spending time with his family (this is from the press release, it is just referenced in the article).

 

The following are summaries, not a clean word for word translation. Sorry I do not have time to clean these up, or to do the other messages.

 

Julie Snyder's letter opens with a quote from a poet (Pierre Reverdy) that says there is no love, just proofs (evidence) of love. That Rene has that surronding him--Celine, the babies, his family. He is a legend, and has accomplished amazing things with Celine's career. He has made a mark on the history of music and the provence of Qubec. That Quebecois can be successful and strong. He does not talk loud, he whispers, he sometimes loses his vice, but never his French language. It is not his words that are loud, but he resounds. He gives evidence to everyone (reference to the quote the message opened with), everyone is inspired by him. With everything he has faced, he has still proven he is so strong, the strongest.

 

 

Message from Guy said that his relationship with Rene began around a poker table, than a resteraunt table. They have been friends for years. Things like this remind you of who your friends are, and Rene is his friend (this is a really summarized version).

 

Stephen Laporte said:

 

"When life makes us vulnerable, there is a way to protect themselves is to wrap in love. In the love that surrounds us. In love that in itself, in love we put in the other. Thou hast full. You've everywhere. In your heart, in the heart of your wife, heap children, your family, your relatives, all who admire you, and all those you inspire. In mine. Heal yourself well."

What a lovely article!

 

I wanted to add a couple of things to Nico's wonderful translation, since this article was so beautiful:

 

In addition to talking about his love for Celine and his family, Julie also says that Rene's loyalty is as legendary as Celine's voice, and that his record of friendship is as impressive as the records about album sales and awards. She says: "You have proven to Quebec, by what you and Celine have accomplished, that we (the Quebecois) are a people who can win and can succeed in the most dazzling ways. You have marked the history of music and that of our country."

 

She also says: "Ce ne sont pas tes mots qui sonnent, mais tes preuves qui resonnent" -- literally, "It's not your words that sound, but your proofs [of love] that resound" -- but I think it's a play on the line from Celine's "Des Mots Qui Sonnent" there.

 

And she says: "Faced with this ordeal, you will again prove to us who is stronger -- it's you, Rene [who's stronger]". And she ends by saying, "I love you, Rene. I love you, Celine." Really, really sweet and touching. It made me want to cry.

 

I'll try to do some of the others later. Rene is really so very loved.
