"Nothing in life is certain, only we all face a final curtain," reads the sign. "We are inspired by you and as your next adventure begins, please know you have changed the nation’s conversation with you story and inspiration. In every cancer battle it’s always love that wins."。 Tweet may have been deleted。Bland had been very open about her battle with cancer since her diagnosis in November 2016, sharing her story on her blog Big C Little Me and in the podcast 。
