[QUOTE]The television icon received the word from her doctors on Jan. 15 that she has as little as three months to live.
"I was stunned," she told [People] magazine of first hearing the news. "And in the next minute I thought, 'This could draw more attention to cancer research.' I think there's an opportunity to help people."
Now that it's sunk in, “I don’t think of dying,” she said. “I think of being here now.”[/QUOTE]

I fucking love(d) the Mary Tyler Moore Show. This is heartbreaking.

Likely to be inoperable.

Its terminal cancer, and also a very rare cancer in her brain.
This is probably the worst situation I could think of being in; Being given a death sentence and knowing that there is no way you are going to be alive to see next year.
At least she is 73 though, probably lived a full life.
