Interesting facts that I didn't know about her.
I had some education and awareness of radioactivity from my work for the DOD back in my younger days and now that I'm on these Chemo drugs my education has become much more enlightened. For example, we have one bathroom set aside for guests only and I don't even enter that room for fear that my radioactive waste might cause issues for any children or young women of child bearing age if they were to come in contact with my piss or poop.

According to Wikipedia she died at 66 years old from aplastic anemia from exposure to radiation.
BTW... my Chemo drugs are shipped to me in a Bio-Hazard package!
