This is my first time to hear anything about this story. My thoughts at this moment are with Rio and the Ferdinand family. I can't imagine what it must be like to lose a wife, the woman you love.

RIP Miss Rebecca Ellison Ferdinand

What a horrible, horrible thing. Best of luck to Rio and the kids, it's terrible for this to happen to anyone, let alone someone so fondly remembered at the club.
Here's to the day when we can prevent these vile cancers.
RIP

Such horrible news, cancer is such a bitch! Way too young to go. Hoping for a loud applause towards Rio during the 5th min today to show him our thoughts are with him and his family.

Hopefully the Utd fans will get behind Rio today and would be a nice touch if our players will wear an armband.

Very, very sad news.

Theres a thing going around on Twitter trying to get fans to do a minutes applause in the 5th minute of todays game. Would be a nice little touch. Hope the club get hold of it and have something put on the scoreboards.

Very sorry to hear this.
I thought that breast cancer was easily curable, in this day and age.
Apparently she died soon after she was diagnosed.
She leaves behind 3 kids and a husband. All at the age of 34.
RIP.
If diagnosed early it can be managed quite well. Unfortunately, for young women, the disease is usually very aggressive, they may not be doing regular mammograms yet and if they are the results are not as accurate as for older women due to tissue density.

RIP. I fecking hate cancer. Always seems to get the good ones too :(

Awful...
RIP..
:(

Thoughts with Rio and the family...


My mum has beaten that terrible disease, key is to diagnose it as early as possible and even then its not certain it will be beaten.

Unfortunately sometimes its diagnosed too late..
