[Dottore]

When I posted here about my own medical emergency earlier in the year, Lisa was one of the first to mail me with her best wishes and encouragement in that endearing no-nonsense, "just get her done" Aussie style of hers.

She was a wonderful person. RIP.

If there is a lesson to be drawn from this sad story it must surely be that we should all go out and get tested regularly for this terrible disease—because early detection is the key to winning against it.
