Brisbane woman Lisa Magill, 34, started her blog in February last year, three years after being diagnosed with a rare, incurable rare form of stomach cancer.

Despite her grim diagnosis, Ms Magill wrote with humour and searing honesty as she documented living her final days through what she decribed as this “s***show called cancer”.

The Brisbane woman made headlines last year, when she used her blog to achieve a bucket list wish — to attend the Melbourne Cup in the Emirates Marquee.

”A couple of weeks ago I thought, ‘stuff it, I’ve been through a lot, I’ve spent a lot of money on this disease and I’ve paid my dues, I don’t need a kitchen renovation or a new car but I’ve always dreamt of going to the Emirates Marquee,’ she wrote.

Within hours of putting the call out on her blog, Ms Magill’s dream was “off and racing”, as she described it, and the 34-year-old and her mum Geraldine were rubbing shoulders with celebrities on the first Tuesday in November.

It was Mrs Magill who announced her “gorgeous girl” had finally succumbed to her disease, shortly before midnight Saturday.

“Tonight at 11.50 our gorgeous girl was wrapped in the wings of an angel and joined her friends and family in heaven,” Mrs Magill wrote.

“Lisa’s passing was so peaceful, slipping away in her sleep without pain nor fear.

“Our hearts are shatter (sic) into a thousand pieces, Lisa was the most generous soul to walk this earth, she would do anything to make us happy.

“We were so blessed to have her in our lives.

“We won’t be posting on the Terminally Fabulous page until tomorrow as we just need time to get our heads around this.

“Thank you so much for all your love and support at this tragic time. We are eternally grateful x”

Mrs Magill continued to document her daughter’s final days, almost right until the very end.

In a confronting video she posted to Facebook from her hospital bed just four days before she died, a gaunt and frail Ms Magill told her followers most of her body was in pain and she no longer had the strength to hold herself up.

But she thanked her followers, who she said continued to give her strength.

“I just want you to know that I love you all and without you, I wouldn't still be here, I truly believe that,” she said.

“You kept me going and you gave me strength and you gave me the power that I needed when I didn’t think I had any left in me.

“We love you loads and stay fabulous.”

She signed off, for what would be the last time, with her trademark humour.

“You never know I may kick it again and be here in five days and be saying, ‘those idiots don’t know what they’re talking about.’ Seeya.”

In another video, posted two months ago as her condition began to deteriorate, the 34-year-old bravely admitted she was scared of dying, a fear she had previously confessed to in her blog.

In her final blog post nearly three weeks ago, Ms Magill’s humour still shone, even as the tragic, unfair reality of her situation bit her harder than ever before.

“I’m writing today from a place of inevitable sadness, the fear of losing those I’ve connected with has started to become a reality, no longer a fear, it’s happening,” she said.

“People who’ve had terminal cancer the same or a similar length of time to myself are dying around me, we’ve been each other’s supporters and listened to each other’s fears and now we’re starting to drop like flies, the stuff that we’ve spoken about as if it was in the third person, it couldn’t really be about us.....could it? We’re too young, we’ve achieved nothing, we’re good people, stuff like this happens to bad people.

“I know we’re not supposed to say, ‘this isn’t meant to happen to us and we’re not meant to say things like bad things should happen to bad people’ and the truth is we don’t believe that, we wouldn’t wish this on our worst enemies, but sometimes we get so sick, so scared, so sad, that we say things we don’t mean and having each other to say these things to in a safe environment, without feeling judged or wrong, is a large part of why we’re there for each other.”

News.com.au editor-at-large Melissa Hoyer encountered Ms Magill for the first time just last November at the Melbourne Cup, a meeting she said left a lasting impression.

“Here was this beautiful girl with her mum, Geraldine, and a friend of mine Amanda and I were sitting in the very smarty pants Emirates marquee at the Melbourne Cup, just wanting to breathe for a while and get away from the madness that is Cup Day,” she said.

“Suddenly, we had this vivacious, mesmerising young woman named Lisa sit with us and without feeling sorry for herself, Lisa told us that coming to the Melbourne Cup and being a guest in a corporate marquee was on her ‘bucket list’.

“We both wondered why such a young, beautiful, healthy looking woman was already ticking things off her bucket list and then she informed us that her blog, Terminally Fabulous, was chronicling her cancer, dare I say, journey.

“We were both dumbfounded and also totally mesmerised by her enthusiasm, her confidence and the way she was handling such a perilous situation.”

Ms Hoyer stayed in contact with Ms Magill through her final few months.

“For those few short months, Lisa touched me and so many others who followed her story and her life,” she said.

“She will be missed by so many, but I know she has certainly left a lasting memory certainly for her followers, for me and also my friend Amanda.”
