AN INSPIRATIONAL woman who defiantly wrote "F*** cancer" on her face as she bravely fought the disease has died aged just 28.
Kathryn's last tweet, on January 8, said she had been in "agony" all day and asked: "What is this bug?"Kathryn was just 16 when she was diagnosed with leukaemia in August 2007. She was later given a 20 per cent chance of survival. In her last newspaper interview, in November, she told the Birmingham Mail: "I would really like to make it to 30.
"It kills me to know that is going to happen with my family. At some point everyone is going to be sad and that is probably going to go on for the rest of their life."In reality living a long life is not going to happen."
