My god! Didn't she only retire recently??

Simon Smith · May 5, 2014

she only told the world that she had cancer in March.
My sympathy goes to her family

evilwebby · May 5, 2014

I never even knew she was ill.
How incredibly sad

She experienced life more than many who lived much longer - RIP.

I heard she had stopped playing to battle cancer, had no idea it had gotten that far, way too young

Another life taken by cancer - I'm convinced that in these cases where a young, healthy and active person suddenly develops cancer it is triggered by a completely carbohydrate dominated diet. It has long been known that cancer cells can only use glucose. Taking that away must surely be a huge step in preventative measures. There are many anecdotal cases now of cancer patients who are slowing and even beating their cancer simply by adopting a very carb restrictive diet - eg see Vinnie Tortorich for a high profile example. Seriously, if you know anyone with this terrible illness, please tell them to look into this.
