Does anyone know her cancer situation? It almost bummed me out that she got sick as soon as she became popular.

she hasn't talked about it as far as I know (it's definitely in none of her YT videos or more obvious social stuff) and in every video she looks extremely healthy and seems reasonably upbeat and i'm going to be really pissed if she is sick again, so, I'm really hoping no news is good news.

I feel she doesn't want what she went through for her medical woes to not be a big part of what people think about when they think of her. I'm assuming that but it's the impression I get.

p sure it's a noncancerous tumor, but she hasn't discussed it much (if at all)

My buddy has a non-cancerous brain tumor but it often plays with his hormones and causes his eye to bulge and lose vision so they can be quite nasty even without cancer. The medicine to keep it from growing also makes you lethargic and asexual. That's why I was curious. It can be rough on a person

Well, mostly. I seem to recall that she had a recurrence about a year ago or so (pre-edit, 2019 specifically per her wiki page, I'm getting old). But I've been watching her for a while and she seems to still be active and making good videos, so yeah good news I reckon.

It's long over. She went on a speaking tour after recovering from surgery in 2019 or so.

She mentioned it briefly in a few of her tesla videos, she did apparently go through chemo but that was 4 years ago and I don't see it in a more recent one so I'm guessing she's in remission?
