Belinda Emmett

Hi Everone
I dont post very often but i felt that i wanted to acknowledge Belinda Emmett. Many of you on this site may not know Belinda Emmett, but she is an Australian actress who died on Satuday aged 32 from breast cancer. She fought the disease for eight years but in the end it was not enough. She was very brave and dignified to the end. Can all of you please keep Belinda's family in your prayers. Molly

I will keep her family in my prayers....this disease knows no boundaries, and seems to pick and choose its angels along the way....the fight continues to find a cure. Thank You for sharing,

Hi Molly

Thank you for posting about Belinda Emmett. I, too, was thinking about putting in a post. I have been absolutely shattered by her death, as she was such a beautiful person, and handled everything with such dignity. I have cried all weekend. We actually shared the same onc, and I had a good long talk to her about it yesterday, which helped me a lot. She said if I want to be inspired by anyone, it should be Belinda. But that's the trouble, I was inspired by her, and that's why it has hit me so hard.

Unhappy

Molly

I too was very saddened to read of Belinda's passing especially when I read she was only 24 at time of dx.
Thanks for the post and I'll certainly remember her.
