She was ONLY 73. So sad. Wasn't she in Grease, like a just a few years ago?   ....seems like yesterday.

Here in Australia she was a major contributor to cancer research and was very active in promoting cancer support. Here is a succinct bio from a local newspaper. Will be missed by so many across many fields.

heres a lovely article on a young ONJ. Uni High is across the road from my old uni, Melbourne University, where I still attend the gym. This, along with me being a 'clear' cancer patient makes her passing somewhat personal to me.
