Sad news of KitKat

Sadly KitKat passed away on 17th March. She was a member of my Secondary Forum on bcpals, and with Chris’s permission I copy part his email to me here. I know that KitKat’s Diary when she was going through treatment for her brain mets back in 2006 was a tremendous help and inspiration to many of us.

"Dawn,
Thanks for the e-mail.
This is Chris, Katy’s husband. I am very sorry to say that Katy died on 17th March. The cause of death was recorded as pneumonia caused by metastatic breast cancer. I know she used to use your forum regularly and found a lot of comfort from chatting to others in the same predicament as her. Please could you pass on the news to the other members of your group.
She did not suffer, and in the end, it was quite quick. I am grateful for that. She did not realise that the infection was allowing the cancer to take hold, and, at the end, she was in no pain.

Regards
Chris"

So sorry to hear that Kit Kat has died. I followed her posts for a long time. I hope her splendid Brain Diaries continue to help those newly diagnosed with brain mets.

Condolences to her family and friends. So sad that this disease has killed another young women, years before her time.

best wishes
