Very, very sad... :( (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/other_sports/snooker/6035879.stm)

27 is no age to go :( Not known much outside the snooker world, but he was a thorough gentleman and a great snooker talent. What a loss :(

RIP Paul.

anyone dying so young of 'that' disease deserves sympathy, imo

Very upsetting :( Tremendous talent, and so young. I had a bit of a thing for him too :(

Why can't we find a cure?

It does give pause for thought when someone younger than yourself dies - just not the natural order of things. Very sad :(

Saw this myself this morning on the Beeb, very sad, 27 is so young especially when he has a wife and family.

I don't think it matters who you are or what you do, to be afflicted with cancer at that age and to succome to it must be devastating for the family.

We are, slowly. However, Cancer isn't just one disease. It is many.

When it is cracked there will sadly be something else
