Cancer again!!!! My daughter was diagnosed in March with a brain tumour and I can't seem to avoid seeing this godforsaken word wherever I go. Is it my imagination or does this disease seem to be epidemic status nowadays? Often said it must be something in the water and it does make you wonder.

"We want you to know...that we had resolved all of our differences, and the four of us were whole-heartedly looking forward to playing together again."

Its heartbreaking. One of the few successful female guitarists and a beautiful woman in body and spirit.

My father was diagnosed with cancer last year and has recovered but since then I've known so many people dianosed with it and pass away.
