    A weekend when football fans are worried about what league there teams will be playing in next season, something like this puts things into prospective.
    30 years old is too young for anyone, I think we have all lost someone close with Cancer just hope one day they find a cure one day

    My heart goes out to her friends and family

    RIP. She always seemed a top bird - battled her liver condition for a decade without feeling sorry for herself.

    Jeez that's terrible. Such a turnaround for a talented, super fit, healthy clean living woman. Always seemed very upbeat, positive and spoke well.

    RIP

    Didn't even know she was seriously ill.

    Very gutsy and courageous.

    RIP.

    She'd had liver problems all her life, but she was only diagnosed with the cancer two months ago. ****ing terrible stuff. Seemed like she was quite an extraordinary person.

    And still, ABSOLUTE ****ING ****s around the world walk the streets without cancer.

    Terrible thing RIP. Anything to do with being born in the Ukraine?


    I don't understand the smiley face on the header, can it be removed?

    It's no age. I've had friends lose children and it's heartbreaking. As well as the loss of a loved one, it's the loss of dreams and potential memories.

    It's poor solace, but one thing I take from it is to enjoy every moment and opportunity, especially with the kids.


    RIP

    No, she was diagnosed with something called Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis when she was 19; that was the disease she battled against and lived with for years. The cancer was only diagnosed this year.

    Such a sad ending to her brave story. Sometimes life doesn't seem very fair. Thoughts to her family at this sad time. X
