British woman's final words on social media highlights lack of cancer awareness

In a post that made netizens sad, a British woman named Daniella T was detected with Cholangiocarcinoma cancer (bile duct cancer) and before she succumbed to it, she wrote a post on her social media. She published a heartfelt message on LinkedIn which garnered over 32,000 likes.

Daniella T, in her final words, expressed gratitude for loved ones and shed light on the lack of awareness and treatment options for various cancers, including the one that claimed her life. She emphasised that not all cancers are caused by lifestyle choices, detailing her case where the cancer originated in her bile ducts despite her being healthy and active.


Cholangiocarcinoma, a rare aggressive cancer with often no apparent causes and no cure, prompted Daniella to hope for increased research to save more lives in the future.

"Firstly, I just want to say that not all cancers are caused by lifestyle choices, in some cases it’s genetics, or unfortunately it just happens," she wrote in her post.

Facing the grim diagnosis with remarkable positivity, she encouraged others to enjoy life's little moments and cherish every second. Daniella advocated for the romanticisation of life and pursuing happiness despite challenges. Sharing a hopeful quote from Winnie-the-Pooh, she thanked her partner Tom for support, urging him to go enjoy life.

The post resonated deeply, amassing thousands of likes and heartfelt reactions from internet users. One user found the message powerful and inspiring, emphasising the importance of appreciating life's blessings.

Another user expressed hope that Daniella's story would uplift those who did not know her, highlighting the enduring impact of her message and spirit. She talked about celebrating life rather than being devasted by the deadly disease in her post.

Her post is a reminder for two points, one that in the worst situation, one should not stop living life fully, embrace and appreciate. Secondly, there is a lack of awareness regarding Cholangiocarcinoma cancer, which needs to be raised as an issue.

Jahanvi Tiwari: The Creator Redefining Brown Beauty for a Global Audience

When Jahanvi Tiwari introduced The Brown Daughter to the world, it wasn’t meant as a bold statement — it began as an effort to fill a space she had always hoped someone else would step into. “When I began watching YouTube around 2017, I realised there weren’t many creators who looked like me or spoke to audiences with brown skin,” she recalls.

At the time, mainstream beauty content catered overwhelmingly to lighter complexions, leaving millions of young women unrepresented. The name she chose was both personal and political. “Brown skin and makeup were rarely celebrated together - there was this belief that makeup was meant to make you look fairer, which never felt right to me. I wanted to change that conversation, to show that brown skin is beautiful.”
