In reply to the discussion: With sadness and a heavy heart -- AlienGirl has passed away. [View all]renate
(13,776 posts)37. I am so sad to hear this
I'm glad her suffering is over, and the need for bravery (she was so brave), but I am so sorry about her loss.
She was so inspiring, still so passionately concerned for others despite what she was going through.
In Th1onein's post earlier there was a link to the thread from last year in which AlienGirl had just been diagnosed with the recurrence, and described her worries about death; I hope she was pleasantly surprised by what she now knows what comes next.
