That is really sad news...

Deepest condolences to family and friends of Belinda...

I guess the only thankful thing is that she is not suffering anymore :(

That's so unfortunate.

She was good on Home and Away. I actually watched the show back then...

My thoughts are with all her family and close friends.

Is very sad to lose someone so young. I saw them together when I went to watch Nancy Cartwright. They looked a great couple, actually sincere, for two celebritys. Rove stuck by her to the end. I feel for his loss.

Her breast cancer spread to her bones. Once that happened, it was only a matter of time really.

She seemed like a lovely person.

Such a tuff young girl taken way too young, They can do so much today for cancer so much more then in the past, But still they just can't save everyone it's so sad that maybe everyone knows someone that has died of the big C. And i think it should be called **** not cancer cause it's the worst kind of C.
Condolences too her family and friends.

Sorry to hear that. Cancer is a *****. Too many people's lives are tragically cut short

In the near future I will be setting up a bit of a competition between us and ls1.com with a fun nature, but it will also help a lot of people with cancer and other medical conditions.

Hope yer not scared of needles....... py:

I know it's sad how she's died so young and all, but how come we've got 4 pages in the paper on her? People die from cancer every day. I guess they don't matter because they weren't on Home and Away and didn't marry a fourth rate comedian.

At least they might shut up about Kylie for a while I guess.

While I do agree, I think coverage like this and Kylie for example does help get an awareness out there to the public to get checked and look out for cancer and any other diseases/illnesses before it could be too late for one of us.
