Another profile of her cancer battle. Key info not mentioned before is that her cancer is now stage four, with tumors present in her lungs, liver, and lymph nodes... I think she's too fit to die any time soon, but she may well die around Christmas to become this year's Sadhana Shivdasani. Cancelling more gigs, this time due to pneumonia. At the risk of making one of the bigger understatements in Deathlist forum history, metastatic pancreatic cancer and pneumonia don't really mix that well... Dead, according to Rolling Stone.
