Heard her speak on 5live this morning, did make me 'well up', particularly about having to leave her young son and husband. Heart breaking.

I'm an 'older Dad' (second time around) and this sort of thinking is always an underlying niggle, even when there is no obvious reason to think death is imminent.
It must be how grandparents feel on the quiet... it's great to have a new baby appear, but you know you'll probably be long gone before the big events happen in their little lives. Very sad.
Leaving a four year old is really too awful to contemplate. Credit to Rachel for having the gonads to speak out about it.

She seems to be carrying the burden with an air of grace and dignity sadly lacking in modern humanity - and I include myself in that set; I'm not sure how I would cope or react to being in possession of such knowledge.
May the end be peaceful and I wish her family strength & courage.

Her strength, courage and bravery is truly inspirational.
Apparently she has wrapped birthday presents for her son until he's 21, heartbreaking.
i lost my niece when she was 40 in a similar situation.
Fucking awful disease!

One in two of us will get one form of cancer or another. That means of the people that have so far written on this thread, 7 will develop cancer.
Truly heartbreaking.

I can only repeat what has already been posted. There's someone on here who lost his Mrs at a similar age and he also has a young son. I often think of him and wonder how do you begin to cope in a sutuation as dreadful as this.
I hope some of the soppy cunts you hear about moaning and berating everything and everyone in their lives read about this poor family and then think how fortunate they are. But they wont.

Amazing how we let the day to day trifles like Brexit and West Ham let us become slightly less human and it takes something like this to realise how fucking foolish all that day to day bullshit is.
Fuck cancer. Just fuck it off.

She was pretty good on the radio too. Read her message when she got the news, very brave woman.

Incredibly brave woman.
Puts all the flapping and panicking over losing our first 4 games into perspective.

Very sad, brave woman to go Public with it and highlight the issue.
the worst part of this is the fact she has been berated and slagged off on social media, idiots telling her she didn't try hard enough to beat this, she is attention seeking and worse, most has been taken down but there are some heartless and selfish fuckers in this world.
