it is with great sorrow that I have to pass on some very sad news. Our fellow forum user, my friend Julia, who is known on here as Bimbo119, has sadly passed away. She was just 28 and leaves behind an adoring husband and a 3 year old son.
In mid Dec Julia was diagnosed with extensive secondaries. Immediately she posted a message in this section, she was obviously very scared and was seeking positive stories.You all came good for her and I know she was overwhelmed by the support and inspiring stories she received from her fellow forum users.
Julia started Taxotere in Jan but unfortunately this had to be stopped due to an allergic reaction on the 2nd one. Sadly, during a break between treatments Julia’s liver became very enlarged and unable to function properly. Initially Julia was receiving palliative care at home, until she went into the local hospice last week, where she passed away last night.
OMG why why why??? Its so wrong at any age but more so at that age.
Thanks Kelly for letting us know - I should imagine that it was very hard to write - my thoughts are with her family and friends and you Kelly
Kelly I’m devastated to hear this very sad news. I didn’t know Julia and find it so hard to comprehend this happening and so quickly. Kelly thanks for posting and my thoughts are with you and Julia’s family and friends.
Oh I am so sorry to hear that. It must be awful for you, and more so for her family and is just so cruel. My thoughts are with her family and with you. This is no age to be leaving everyone.

Am so sorry to hear about Julia and send my condolences to her family and friends. My thoughts are with you and her family, as it must have been very hard for you to write this post and I know how deeply you were affected by the news of her spreads so quick.
