RIP, she deserves it after a battle against a horrid disease, and I feel extremely sad for her children, losing their mother at such an early age.
But if that was my mother, I'd feel a bit sick when I grow older knowing that she whored herself out to the media and basically hung her dignity out to dry in her final days, but then I suppose she had none left anyway due to the nature of her "work".
Many people know about cancer and it's various forms anyway, but hopefully the ignorant people that didn't, having now had this rammed down their throats from every angle of the media, will take notice and not leave any symptoms unchecked.
