I feel so sorry for her parents and her husband. I'm from Poland and in 2010 (way before cancer influencers) we had our own "celebrity", her name was Magda Prokopowicz, she was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer, she was beautiful, she was married to a movie director and rich and she rose so much awareness around breast cancer. Her story grabbed people's hearts also because she got pregnant while having cancer and she said no to having an abortion and gave birth to a healthy child. When she was alive she started cancer charity, to this day it's the biggest cancer charity in Poland. Her campaining for it was so clever, women after mastectomies were photograped with sings that said "we raise money for drugs, wigs and new tits", it was smart because drugs in Poland are associated more with narcotics than with medicaments. Her charity's name also has a nice twist on words because its called "Rak'n'roll" - rak in Polish means cancer and when you read it, it basically sounds like rock'n'roll. You may wonder why I am mentioning this women, after her death her husband gave a couple of interviews. He was a part of documentary about her so people knew him. He was obviously heartbroken and it was clear that, sadly, he had some regrets towards his dead wife. Why? Before her death she gave TV intreview, she had bone mets and was laughing that everything is great, she was just skiing and broke her leg because of her mets, but she feels great, everything will be ok because she's strong and she lives with stage IV for sever years already. She was in full blown denial. Her husband was asked if she said goodbye and he answered that no, she didn't and he couldn't even talk about dying with her because up until the very last breath she was holding her smartphone and making plans on it, planing holidays, events, it's like she didn't face what was happening up until the end. When I witness Nicky's behavior, I can't help but think about Magda because the similarities are striking. It's all very sad.
