Subject: Cilla Black

I have only just read that Cilla Black had rheumatoid arthritis.
Why is it that these diseases don't get much publicity and press coverage ?
We hear about cancer and celebrities with cancer and dying of cancer almost on a daily basis, but arthritis , nothing.
As sad as it was that Cilla died at a relatively young age, I wish she had gone public about her diagnosis when she was alive. Before I was diagnosed, I knew nothing about arthritis, and was totally unaware how debilitating the disease is.
Everyone has the right to privacy and she obviously didn't want to go public about her arthritis, but I feel she could have helped so many if she had.
