This saddens me so much. I didn't know Belle but her raw and beautiful blog posts made me feel as though I did. I knew she had chosen to stop treatment but had no idea the end would come so quickly. I even thought I might be lucky enough to meet the real Belle at this year's Call on Congress. She deserved more time with her family to enjoy a life free from chemo and clinical trials. Someone else said it first but I don't care. I hate this fucking disease.
