Her amazing capacity to remain positive despite her struggle, and losing her beloved Aunt to the same disease earlier this year, has astounded everyone who knows her, and has almost certainly helped account for the two years of cancer-free health she enjoyed.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-US"> </span></span></p>
