It's my understanding that when you "beat" cancer, you've only bought yourself some time before it comes back and stays.

Sad development for her. I've always liked her voice. :(

That's how it was for my dad. Cancer started small, chemo and radiation treatments, docs pronounced him cancer-free. A couple years later it came back a little more severe. More treatment, cancer-free. Went on this way for a decade. Fought cancer, cancer-free for a few months, then it returned stronger, more spread out. Eventually it spread to his brain and that was that. Killed him at 68. He never smoked, drank or was overweight.

I figure ONJ has a year or so left, at best. My dad knew this as well and did his best to make every minute count. That's the one thing about cancer; it allows you get your affairs in order.
