The Pokemon anime has had a massive impact on the gaming world, having helped push the Pokemon craze to astronomical heights in the 1990s, and acting as an introductory point for fans just getting into the franchise. Many who watched the show growing up have a lot of nostalgia for the main characters, and in turn, the performance from those characters' voice actors. Veronica Taylor, the original voice actress for Ash Ketchum, shared the sad news on social media that Rachael Lillis had passed away at age 46, following a battle with breast cancer. Rachael Lillis was known primarily for her roles as Misty and Jessie in Pokemon, as well as many of the Pokemon's voices across the show's run.

There is nothing I can say without sounding trite, so I will say only this:

I lost my mother to breast cancer as well and other family members to other types of cancer. It's a bleak battle that crushes a person in several ways. Even treatment crushes the person. Best case scenario it will scar you deeply and remold you. Worst case, it is a very nasty way to go.

This all to say: don't skip on your screening. I know a lot of you fellow tempers aren't exactly young. A tumor caught early can save you from a very awful path.

Where was it mentioned that she died of breast cancer? I wish sources like these go straight to the point and highlight cause of death =_=
Or did you just assume it's breast cancer because of her gender? Getting annoyed reading the source ON ANOTHER WEB PAGE and then it not being useful at all in knowing the cause of death.

It's jarring hearing her be, well, kind and friendly. I'm too used to Misty's emotions in the first two or three seasons of Pokemon.

Cancer is such a POS.
