Agreed. It is about awareness. So many times the cancer is found too late to treat. If it means one person is saved because of the 4 page spread, it was well worth it.

I can agree with that, awareness is good. However it shouldn't take famous people getting sick and dying for it to be out there.

Completely agree but thats the nature of the beast unfortunately. It seems that most people are more concerned about the health of their favourite celebrities rather than their own. If using celebrities as examples is what it takes - then thats what it takes.

70% of people only believe what they see on TV or read in the papers. Who would know about it if it's not made public.
Her death might get many women who wouldn't go for check ups too get up and do it. Knowing how young she passed it can happen too anyone.
When my father died in 1980 it wasn't a big deal what were the symptoms? and nothing much could be done when you got it because it was too late, As the years have gone on and public celebrity people have passed the awareness is there through there public examples of illness. No matter the illness. Wish they talked more about it 30 years ago like they do now.

It also says to people "If it can happen to a celebrity/famous person then it can just as easily happen to me" kinda thing

Unfortunately you could see how it was taking a toll on her, she looked frailer with each public outing. Her positive attitude and gorgeous spirit only showed she faced her mortality with dignity, and the obvious support and affection given by her husband shows what true love is all about.

The only issue I have with the publicity has been comparing her two year wait before treatment to Kylie's immediate treatment and the obvious outcomes. Whilst it highlights the urgency of treatment, I don't feel publicising this is necessary as it incinuates fault on her part. I have a friend, who through fear waited 5 years to have a lump in her breast investigated. After a lumpectomy and secondary ovarian cancer resulting in a full hysterectomy, she is in full remission and doing beautifully.

RIP Belinda and love and strength to her family and friends.

I'm a big fan of Rove live and this a such a tragic lost for an Aussie rising comedy King. My Heart goes out to rove and any one else.

As Rove had 3 shows to go he has no plans for the rest of the year.

Breast cancer is the bigeest killers in womans.
But Prostrate cancer is the biggest killers in men and kill twice as many more male the female breast cancer!

Guys get yourself check out cause you don't want to be the next victim.
