The mother of an ex-girlfriend of mine died of lung cancer having never smoked, never lived with a smoker and not been too fond of nights out in smoky places.

 

Men get breast cancer as well.

 

Bitch really.

 

What's their son going to die of in 2007?

It's the ones with cervical cancer you've gotta watch out for.

BBC News report.

That is a bit of a surprise, the last news I remember reading about her, she was supposedly doing well.

 

Lung cancer really does finish you off pretty quick, Rugova, Jennings and now Dana Reeve all died within 9 months of diagnosis.

Sorry, I've just got to quote Catherine Zeta Jones from that news article, it's an outrageous comment:

 

"Actress Catherine Zeta Jones, a supporter of the foundation, said of Reeve: "She's better than Superwoman, she's Wonder Woman. Dana is like a saint to me."

I am actually quite saddened by this. Quite rare for a female actress of her then age to give up everything to care for her husband. At least they are reunited, which must be a comfort to her family.

Dana Reeve's just died by all accounts.

 

cut and paste from http://msnbc.msn.com/id/11709546/

 

 

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. - Dana Reeve, who won worldwide admiration for her devotion to her “Superman” husband, Christopher Reeve, through his decade of near-total paralysis, has died of lung cancer at the age of 44.

 

Reeve, a singer-actress who gave up some of her own career to be one of the nation’s best-known caregivers, died late Monday at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Medical Center, said Kathy Lewis, president of the Christopher Reeve Foundation.

 

Reeve had succeeded her husband as chair of the foundation, which funded research into spinal-cord paralysis cures. She announced in August that, while she wasn’t a smoker, she had been diagnosed with lung cancer.

 

Lewis visited Reeve in the hospital Friday and said Reeve was “tired but with her typical sense of humor and smile, always trying to make other people feel good, her characteristic personality.”

 

“She was a woman with an incredible heart who really put herself out there to help people with disabilities and especially those who are caregivers — something she knew a lot about,” Lewis said.

 

Reeves' “grace and courage under the most difficult of circumstances was a source of comfort and inspiration to all of us,” Lewis added in a statement.

It suddenly occurred to me that if that reuniting bit were true, who exactly will Liz Taylor be reunited with? :)

Why yes, of course I have. I've looked into it and sadly there's no market for it. I'm now looking into selling second hand farts on ebay for some extra cash.

Doctors say 1 in 5 women diagnosed with the disease never lit a cigarette

 

As a matter of interest, like, how does that compare with the same figure for men?
