Jane McGrath
Jane McGrath, the English wife of Aussie cricketer Glenn McGrath, finally succumbed to breast cancer yesterday. She was 42.
She had been very ill several years ago (breast cancer 1997, bone marrow cancer 2003), then appeared to have recovered, but was diagnosed again in 2006, and deteriorated badly within the last week or two.
Do a "Google" for her cancer foundation - an organisation doing some very fine work in that field.
RIP.

My MIL is in remission too... it delayed us moving over here while we waited for news, last year. My thoughts to everyone else affected.

Very hard Anna, the hardest part is that she never saw any of her grandchildren, I have one of each and my brother has one of each, its hard to explain to kids why they have no grandmother..................especially when their grandfather doesn't give a toss ! :curse:

My dad was 51 (myloid leukaemia, I think they called it)......
....... and I'm 51 now - which is VERY sobering I can assure you.
