Another loss to MBC.


"Found to have cancer in late 2017, Ms. Wall was in treatment for much of 2018, but she continued to perform amid surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation. She maintained her appearances until earlier this year, when her cancer returned and the coronavirus pandemic caused performances to be canceled worldwide. She discussed her condition candidly in blog posts and on social media; in her Twitter biography, she wrote, "Please don't use the word 'battle' to refer to my life or illness."

She's a Canuck and grew up in Vancouver

She wrote this in Feb 2019. http://email.coc.ca/view/?sid=NDIyXzEyNzg3XzI4XzY5...

She'd been originally dx stage 3 with big lymph node involvement. I believe she had her metastatic recurrence dx March 2020 so it must have been very aggressive and not responding to treatment :(
