\n

The beauty influencer took to\u00a0social media<\/a>\u00a0in July 2023 to reveal her\u00a0cancer diagnosis<\/a>, explaining she\u2019d initially been \u2018misdiagnosed\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Jessica\u2019s sister has since revealed the\u00a0mom-of-two<\/a>\u00a0had passed away earlier this month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The\u00a0YouTuber\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0post to\u00a0Instagram\u00a0<\/a>sharing her diagnosis with followers saw her upload two photographs of herself, the first being the influencer\u2019s \u2018favorite,\u2019 bringing her \u2018so much joy to see how far [she\u2019s] come\u2019 after receiving the \u2018devastating news\u2019 a few months back that she had \u2018stage three cancer\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

She continued: \u201cI don\u2019t even know where to begin, but I want to share why I\u2019ve been gone for so long, in hopes that at least one person is encouraged by my story. So here it goes\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Jessica explained that she was experiencing \u2018intense vaginal bleeding<\/a>\u2018 in June 2022 and was \u2018literally bleeding out\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

She went to other women for advice and many said they\u2019d had similar experiences, so she thought it may be \u2018normal\u2019 and \u2018accepted\u2019 her symptoms of \u2018extreme fatigue, weakness and just not feeling like [herself]\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

However, on July 1 2022 at 4:00am, Jessica\u2019s\u00a0husband<\/a>\u00a0found her in the bathroom \u2018unresponsive\u2019 and \u2018not breathing\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Her post\u00a0continues<\/a>: \u201cI had literally passed away. He called on Jesus to bring me back and I came back. I was rushed to the hospital, where they told me that the extreme blood loss was due to \u2018fibroids.<\/a>\u2018<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cMy Gyno made it seem like it was so normal and common. I didn\u2019t think much of it, however I was passing clots the size of a placenta, which was really alarming.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThey kept me overnight and released me the next day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cFast forward to July 22nd, I was hospitalized again for the same thing. Again, the medical professionals treated it like it was not that alarming since it was just a \u2018fibroid\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

While the bleeding \u2018eventually stopped,\u2019 Jessica then began to experience \u2018labor-like pains\u2019 and her life ultimately became \u2018so limited\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And in December that year, the continuous bleeding returned and she was hospitalized again. She was told she couldn\u2019t get surgery to remove the \u2018fibroid\u2019 because of her lack of blood supply and had to \u2018receive 10 blood transfusions\u2019 during her stay.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It was only then she says she was recommended to have a biopsy, which resulted in her stage three cancer diagnosis being made,\u00a0the YouTuber<\/a>\u00a0noting in another post that she \u2018was misdiagnosed all this time\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Continuing her post in the comments, Jessica said: \u201cDo I still have days where I feel down, sure. But I\u2019m quickly reminded that my healing was paid for on the cross.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWe won\u2019t get to pick our storms, but we can choose how we go through them. And the believer has an advantage, because we don\u2019t go through it alone. Jesus is there with us, using our storm for His glory.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cSo no matter what you are faced with, always remember that all things work together for the good of those who love God (Romans 8:28). Every testimony begins with a test. And God is still beautifying mine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cSo no matter how big or small your sickness is, remember that God has already provided healing for you. Believe it, receive it, live it and rest in it. God Bless you all.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And fans of the YouTuber have flocked to her post to pay their respects since her sister revealed she\u2019s passed away.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cRest well, beautiful! I pray that God is wrapping His arms around you in heaven,\u201d another added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And a third commented: \u201cDEVASTATING NEWS\u2026 This beautiful soul was wrongly diagnosed with fibroids for so long. THIS RIGHT HERE is why I won\u2019t stop educating and empowering women to stop normalizing heavy bleeding, and pain and supporting us in knowing all our options and getting the best care.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
