Sitting in her hospital bed, she explained: “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].”

She continued by saying that she never wanted to make this video, but wanted to make it clear that she ‘has already won’.

“I want you to know that I already won, a long time ago. We continue, always.”

She signed off with the title of her 2022 book: “My desires win.”
