A 20-year-old woman who was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer called Ewing sarcoma has bid farewell to her friends and family, saying she’s on end-of-life care.
Elena Huelva gained over 615,000 followers on Instagram after she started documenting her health battle on the social media platform in 2016.
For six years, she was open and honest about her fight against cancer.
In a recent update, Elena told her followers that her health took a turn for the worse as she held back tears.
Lying in a hospital bed, the influencer said: “They found more disease in my windpipe, which is very dangerous, as you know, because that’s where we breathe. I don’t need to say much more.
“No matter what happens, I know that my life has not been in vain because I have fought and I have achieved what I want, to [bring awareness to the disease].”
Elena admitted that she hoped she would never have to make such video, but said: “I want to make it clear that I’ve already won. With all the love and people I have by my side, I’ve already won.”
She also said that life is about making memories with people and she’s about to take away many wonderful memories.
“I would like to thank you for all the affections you have always given me. I love you,” she added.
Her video quickly went viral and many flocked to the comment section, leaving heartfelt messages of support and love.
One person commented: “I love you very much Elena, the best example of self-improvement I ever met.”
Another wrote: “My darling, you are an example of love and constant struggle. Your desire always wins! We love you.”
A third added: “You’re a champion. You already won no matter what.”
