Sad news for the family and friends of Survivor Palau contestant Jennifer Lyon.

The gorgeous 37-year-old passed away at home in Oregon on Tuesday after a long battle with breast cancer.

Lyon was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer back in 2005. After deciding to get a double mastectomy which was followed by chemotherapy, many thought she was in the clear.

Survivor: Panama star Austin Carty, who briefly dated Jen back in 2006, reveals:

"Jen was a genuinely selfless, sweet-natured person. She always had a smile. She cared about every person.

She was engaged in the greatest fight of her life, but she had every intention to fight and spread her positive messages.”

Our thoughts go out to all of those in Lyon's life and everyone affected by cancer.

So sad.

      why do you even bother with this page anymore? you or whoever the fuck is now writing your page is at least 24 hours late with information that is easily available everywhere else on the planet.

      TSS: What a SHITTY thing to say. To use breast cancer as part of a pathetic attack on perez. If he annoys you so much, why the f**k don't you F**k off and stop opening his webpage? It's simple to do. To refer to breast cancer as 'titty cancer' just shows you up as a pathetic, sad excuse for a human being.

      Re: TSS – WOW! I can't believe you just said that! all you perez haters really should shut up and get out. seriously. Say something thoughtful or useful… but don't come here trashing it. If you haven't learned already… no matter how many hate posts you post, it's not going to change anything! Except help you idiots feel gratified for expressing your points which no one cares about! And to use breast cancer??? Be careful about what you say because when crap happens to you… you don't want to be at the end of the stick where someone says "I told you so".

      RIP sweetie.
      They need to find a cure for this fucking disease. Enough. They can put a man on the frigg'n moon, but they can't find a cure for cancer.

      This really is yesterday's news Perez… pretty sad that you are always a day late on everything.

      Poor thing. It's kind of ironic that her claim to fame is being on a show called Survivor…

      this is why people CANNOT wait til 40, or whatever they say is safe now, to get checked for breast cancer… uugh so sad!!!

      Damn if I had a dollar for everytime someone says…"Perez you're late on the news. I read this last week, an hour ago, last year"…I'd be rich! Geez people it's getting so old. If you think Perez news is always late, why come on HIS website. Stick to the websites that YOU think is on top of things!!!! Or maybe you think you deserve a medal or doggie biscuit because you read it somewhere else first. I cannot imagine the satisfaction anyone would get for posting they're "in the know" way before Perez posts anything. What's the big freakin' deal! SO WHAT!!!! GOOD 4 U!!!!



    15. 15

      Rest in peace lady. Her family and friends have my deepest sympathies. xx



    16. 16

      Oh well just another nobody skank died big deal I guess she can join the other poor 200,000 dead Haitians and they can share their experiences



    17. 17

      My heart goes out to her friends and family. So sad :(

      TSS-what in f*cks name is your problem. I agree with @irishgirls : you are a sad sad excuse for a human being. You're just a petty little attention seeker who is dumb and full of sh*t. Go f*ck yourself



    18. 18

      Meanwhile, the dumb blondes of Hollywood are getting huge plastic breasts………So sad.

      Re: Edgenet – what the hell is your problem. She was way too young to die and she wasn't some skank. And so what if you didn't know her, i didn't either, but i'm sure her family and friends are heartbroken. Go f*ck yourself, Edgenet



    20. 20

      It's scary to think that she was only 32 when she was diagnosed. Many people in their early thirties barely worry about getting mammograms or doing self testing at home. Maybe the government should get involved and make it aware that breast cancer can happen in your thirties, so women can take more precautions.



    21. 21

      She was so pretty! I never watched Survivor but she looks like a sweet girl. RIP



    22. 22

      Re: TSS – Thats fucked up! how dare you pray something evil on someone. you must be very young and obviously ignorant.



    23. 23

      Re: Edgenet – You must be on some kind of dreadful drugs to write such ugly comments. Plus you probably are an attention seeker. Be careful, karma is a boomerang.



    24. 24

      So pretty…will pray for her….



    25. 25

      Cutest Survivor contestant ever!



    26. 26

      I've watched every season of Survivor but I can't place her in my mind. She must have got voted off early. Very sad.



    27. 27

      To all of you spouting silly selfish comments about this post. You are sad.
      If you have anger to take out, please take it out on Perez's posts on Lindsay's dad or Heidi and Spencer. This is not where to do it. Cancer is real.
      Condolences to her family and close ones.
