Dana Reeve, wife of Christopher

[freethrow]

I just learned that Dana Reeve, wife of Superman Christopher Reeve, has died. She had a very aggressive form of lung cancer. She had never smoked. She left behind her 13 year old son Will, maybe 14 now. Very sad news. It must be very tough for that young man now.

I admired her for sticking by her husband afterhis terrible tragedy. I am sure they are reunited now and are happy and pain free.

Does anyone know exactly what happened??? I know she had lung cancer and things were going well (tumor was shrinking)... The reason I ask is that my sister a 36 year old, non-smoking female was diagnosed w/ the same type of lung cancer... She is doing well and the tumor is shrinking in her as well... I just want to know if it was a blood clot or some other side effect of the cancer or treatment... This is a scary time for me and my family and I just want to know the important factors...

Dana is a great person, very pretty and stood by her husband thru thick and thin... i have no idea how she held up all this time.
