From what I heard somewhere else, it was a result of a long-going battle against cancer.

For a second I was all like "It must be a joke..." But then I saw the article and despaired.

That's what I thought too. I found out on Facebook, from my aunt and I thought "That's a cruel joke!" so I went to search to see if maybe there was a joke/hoax/misunderstanding...really sad.

It was so sudden that at first, I just thought it was a really cruel hoax, but now that I know it's true, I want to cry. Sarah Jane was one of my favorite companions, and Elisabeth Sladen herself was an amazing woman. She will be greatly missed.
