She did well. She has been massively supported by her family and friends. What a lovely person she must have been to know.
She was an inspiration.

She was awesome, anyone with a passionate and positive spirit in the face of adversity is inspiring, especially when they are able to look beyond their circumstances and fight for other instead. A giver when perhaps it would have been understandable if she was just recieving, through this she recieved the biggest gift of all: real quality life abundantly!!

Instead of lying in bed , waiting to die, she upped and lived her life to the full right up to the end. She [ i did not know her] was an inspiration for cancer sufferers and i hugely admired this lady. She has done more with her last years of life than i have done in my whole life. What a woman:)

I hadn't really heard of her before she died....now I am sad i didn't know more about what she did before she went.
My Nan died of breast cancer and my friends Mum is also "on her way out".
Thank's to Jane Tomlison, may her memory and works live on through others.

And how!
Millions of people in the UK alone would benefit from emulating her determination, her courage and spirit. (Instead of sitting on their backsides feeling sorry for themselves)
And along the way, they too could contribute to society and/or charity.
She was an exceptional human being. Her family should be proud.

Yes of course she was an inspiration. When life dealt her the worse set of cards, she thought sod it and went on to raise money for others...
I am actually saddened by her death because not many people think of others the was she did...
My best wishes go out to her family and friends...

Of course.
Here was a brave lady who decided not to lie down and accept death but to battle it all the way.
And on the way to the inevitable, she also raised a serious amount of cash for charity.
Damned right she's inspiring - it's a pity we don't hear more about her.

I do not understand why you have asked this question. Anyone who fights back the way this lady did with the courage of this wonderful woman is by definition inspirational
