I do know she has been treated twice for lung cancer in the past year or two. I was just wondering how she is doing now.

I first read about it on the Benelux board in 2003, spring I think it was.
Someone posted the brief announcement made by the Grand Ducal family's press office.
It said that a tumor had been found in one of her lungs during a routine check up, it was cancer and she was being treated with radiation/chemotherapy. The doctors expected every thing would work out.
This past summer there was another announcement that she had undergone another round of treatment.
I haven't heard anything else since.

Does anyone know if the Grand Ducal family have said anything about the tsunami disaster in Asia? Since Henri is technically the 'chief of state', I was just wondering if they released a statement of some description.
