    That's very sad. Must have been a rapid spread of the disease as it wasn't too long ago she revealed she had it. R.I.P

    Shocking. Seemed to have happened rather quick.

    It's a * scary and a horrible illness.
    RIP

    Quite ironic that she should die on the same day when Glasgow hosted a huge "race for life" fundraiser/awareness day against cancer.

    It just goes to show you, it doesn't matter how healthy a lifestyle you lead, if your number's up, your number's up. You only get one shot at life so if you are partial to a pizza or enjoy the odd ciggie then my advice is to go ahead and fill your boots. We're all going to die some day so you may as well try to enjoy the time you have, however long or short it may be.

    RIP Elena.
