I posted earlier in the week about my friend Darra passing suddenly from liver mets. Today I was told Carol H passed yesterday very peacefully, she simply took a nap and did'nt wake up.
Carol had a long painful struggle the past couple of years with cancer since she moved her family here to Ireland from Scotland,I met her here on the her2 site when she asked for help and info on treatments available.
I was lucky to have met her a few times since then,the last time about two months ago when she was in the hospital. She knew then time was running out for her but never gave up fighting. Her husband told me she was happy to go knowing she had achieved her wish, to have her young children settled here with family support before she died.
Carol was the strongest and bravest person I've ever met and I'll miss her.
This is the link to her own story for anyone who would like to read about her, her fighting spirit shows in every word.

Thank you for all the support and information I received from everyone here which I was able to pass on to Carol, I know she loved you all and hated being away from the site herself when she was too ill to type.
