Check it out right here. I had posted it after your story, but asked the mods to remove it. (No need for two threads on the topic.) CBS really goofed on this one, I think.

OOOPS, I see now they've changed it to just "Cancer"--someone must have pointed it out!

I see - it's not unusual for news reports/stations to give incorrect information right after someones death. I just find it hillarious that it's CBS having it different from the other news reports I'm reading.

See post 45. Ovarian cancer leads to other cancers which actually cause death. Both reports are correct depending on how its looked at. Brain cancer could have killed her and it was caused by Ovarian cancer.

They must have changed it. Now it refers to just "cancer".

There's nothing wrong with their story. It says all over the place, AP etc., that she fought ovarian cancer several years ago.

Those of us who have gone through this know that the loved one dies not from the original cancer suchs a ovarian or breat, but where it spreads, like the brain or lungs. By definition that's what a cancer does. So she likely did die of brain cancer that was brought on by her earlier ovarian cancer.
