    Very very sad

    she was a friend of a friend, so I always followed what she was up to - a very clever girl.

    once spent a night in a Manchester nightclub with her (and a big group of others) before she was famous.  I am suddenly feeling very old.

    Loved her writing and the characters she created - a real loss.

    Oh that is so sad.. Big C gets far too many good people and theres not a lot we seem to be able to do.. I heard this evening of someone Iknewa while back that went on holiday to Spain and died there, undiagnosed Cancer every where...

    Yes, it's a grim diagnosis,
