Greek bloggers are mourning the loss of one of their own, a young Greek cancer patient whose adventures through the Greek medical system touched thousands, and are dedicating June 1 to her memory.

Amalia Kalyvinou, who died last week at the age of 30, had attracted many to her Internet Weblog [www.fakellaki.blogspot.com]
with her stories about incompetent and corrupt doctors who failed to diagnose her for years or took financial advantage of her despair.
