Thirteen-year-old You Tube sensation Talia Joy Castellanos journey with two types of cancer came to an end this Tuesday.
The young lady battled with neuroblastoma, a rare childhood cancer and at the same time pre-leukemia in her bone marrow for five years.
Doctors said having these two cancers at the same time is extremely rare and chances of survival were low.
Leukemia and brain and central nervous system cancers are the most common in children.
Instead of focusing on her impending death, Castellano shared her experience and journey to the world through You Tube videos. Her ultimate goal was to raise awareness about what it was like to deal with cancer.
