Jean I am sending so much love to you. I find you inspiring and brilliant. What you do for women and to bring attention to the deaths of women killed by men is incredible. You are incredible. I admire you enormously. Love to you and your family and thank you, thank you so much for being you.

Awful news. Thank you Jean, and I hope you will be pedalling for a good while yet x

Oh dear Flowers

I admire her ambition to keep riding. A ride is a ride tbh - a very small one, or a very big one. You do what you can.

littlbrowndog · 03/08/2018 13:33

Oh Jean much love and more love

BarrackerBarmer · 03/08/2018 13:34

Oh, Jean.
This is devastating news.
You are an outstanding, courageous and inspiring woman.
I am wishing you health and strength and love, and if strength of wishing could make it so, you would be well.
Call on your army of supporters of there is something you wish that we can do.

BettyDuMonde · 03/08/2018 13:35

Oh no! Jean :/

Ovarian cancer is brutal. Please familiarise yourself with the symptoms - there is no screening test and symptoms are subtle (as Jean has found) so it’s rarely found early:

Jean - you're a huge inspiration to so many people. Sending you love and strength Thanks

rememberatime · 03/08/2018 13:48

Ovarian cancer hit my mother. It's the cancer that women and only women bear - don't tell me you know what it is like to feel like a woman if you don't have a woman's body. Just, no.

Jean is strong for other women and now she can put that strength into her own battle. All of us have special strength because we bear so much more. Men are sometimes afraid of that strength.

NotTerfNorCis · 03/08/2018 13:54

Very sorry to hear it. You are being very brave. Flowers

BeyondRadicalisationPortal · 03/08/2018 13:56

Oh jean :( Flowers

boldlygoingsomewhere · 03/08/2018 13:58

Jean, you are such an inspiration. I’m sorry that you are going through this. Flowers

Much love to you, your daughter and partner.

Bronners78 · 03/08/2018 13:59

I may not share views with Jean, but at a time like this with news like that, it is not the time or place to discuss them.

I wish her well and given the sort of person she clearly comes across as I’m sure she’ll give the disease a run for its money.

BigGreenOlives · 03/08/2018 14:03

So sorry to read this, feel deeply shocked. Keep pedaling Jean. We remember the women you honor.

legoqueen · 03/08/2018 14:04

Jean, my heart goes out to you - truly amazing & such poignant words Flowers
