How sad for the family.

1. Her mother, Cassie, also died young from it.

Susceptibility to cancer does seem hereditary, and my two daughters know only too well that their mother and all their grandparents have had it. The only thing you can do is get yourself checked often and hope for the best if and when.

Brosnan must be devastated. I know I was/would be.

5. I would have pre-emptive surgery.

It is just too hard to detect. Maybe freeze eggs first.

2. Sad indeed, sorry to hear this. What shocked me was her age 41...

It didn't occur to me that Pierce Brosnan could have a 41 year old daughter. But the math works out, he was 19 when he had her. Sad

6. Technically she was his stepdaughter (his first wife was several years older).

But he'd been a father figure to her nearly her whole life, so far as I know.

9. He adopted her and her brother after their bio-dad died.

So sad to read this...he seems like a really decent guy.

4. Jezus fuck has that man not had enough trauma in his life????

His wife, now his daughter....

Tragic

Safe passage to her...
