    Hello,

    Saw this in news today- very sad and she was very young. Headline said rare cancer and article says cancer of the bile ducts.

    Can add Elena Baltacha the Scottish tennis player to that list as well. She was far far too young for this, only 30.

    Hugs,

    By no means is the (incomplete) listing of famous people meant to distract from our focus of aiding, supporting and furthering research for all touched by this disease. As mentioned by you, safinnell, the listing proves that no one is excluded from this cancer. It crosses all borders and all social status.

    Thanks for posting this Marion. I agree with Lainy but it was very interesting to see how this touches everyone even celebrities.

    Very interesting, Marion. Mow I am wondering about other famous people. Although I must say in my eyes every member of our CC family is a celebrity and a hero!

    Appears to be restricted to those living in the US. Interesting though – most are athletes.
