โShe faced her cancer with the same resilience and positivity she brought to all aspects of her life,โ the notice read.
Bella was first diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma in 2021 at age 22 and shared her journey openly on TikTok. Her treatments included intense rounds of radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and multiple surgeries. Though she initially entered remission, the cancer eventually returned, and Bella continued to face it with the same resilience and positivity she was known for.
