She had an incredible story. Hanging out with Belushi/Ackroyd, marrying Paul Simon, her OD. When she got out of the hospital after her OD she threw a party and put a cardboard cutout of Princess Leia on a gurney with tubes stuck in it at the front door. What a sense of humor.
I also saw an interview with a male Soap Opera actor in mid-2000's who has BP. He told the interviewer, "It's not a death sentence". That totally confuses me, as well.

It's the idea that if you let it drag you down, it will. If you come out with the attitude that you won't let it beat you, then it won't. I watched my mom do the same thing to cancer. It was a death sentance, physcially, but mentally she battled it. Instead of living only 2 years, she lived 11. She refused to give up without a fight. Me too.
