RIP Lisa

Lisa Bonchek Adams lost her fight against metastatic cancer on March 7, 2015.
I didn't know Lisa personally, but I loved her sense of humor and the courage and encouragement that she conveyed through her posts, blogs and tweeter.
Lisa spoke out and got peoples attention about mets. She was ridiculed by her outspokenness, and yet she was strong and did not flinch from the ugly truth that was destroying her body. A while back a cancer-shaming op-ed was posted about Lisa in the New York Times, this event got a lot of people talking and even angered many, but because of Lisa's charisma and charm she was able to educate many about this ugly disease.

Metastatic cancer takes everything, and now it has take a wonderful women from this world.
My heart goes out to her and her family. She is and was a courageous and inspiring woman who will be missed. Anyone who got to know Lisa from her posts as well as in person, is better for having known her.

RIP Lisa, you will be remembered and missed.
