Lynn Faulds Wood, aged 72

Oh I am sorry about that such a nice lady and what a campaigner RIP.

Oh that is sad news

This is sad news.I too remember how brave she was when battling bowel cancer not only in fighting the disease but informing the public about the symptoms of what was at the time a little known about disease.
RIP

So very sorry

RIP

So sad. She wasn't afraid to talk about 'bottoms' and what can go wrong. I am sure her matter of fact way of discussing bowel cancer saved lives.

That’s sad news. Going to be even more difficult for the family given the current situation. She must have saved many lives with her openness about bowel cancer - a real taboo subject not so long ago.

RIP?

She was such a force for change.
Thanks to her we have safer plugs and cordless kettles.

She must have saved many lives in different ways.

Very sad news.

Sad news. I remember her fight against bowel cancer and thought she was a brave and honest presenter.

How sad, I was another who thought she talked good sense. She was so brave and open about her cancer, which must have helped so many people.
I didn’t realise she was in her 70s.

Very very sad, bless her RIP x

I was really surprised and sad when I saw the headline. Recently I have seen her on TV News a few times doing the paper review. Everyone only has similar lovely things to say about her.

I also did not realise she was 72- she has been around for a while and only spoke sense. A lovely lady - she will be missed. I cannot remember the name of her husband but he also was lovely.

I was sad to hear about this. She made a real contribution, which I suppose is a lovely thing to think about someone life.

She certainly drove home the message not to be embarrassed by bowels and their workings.
She seemed a lovely woman.
