TikToker Leah Smith, who enjoyed a massive following of more than half a million users on the video-sharing social media platform, where she\u00a0used to document her daily battle with Ewing\u2019s Sarcoma and survival regime, breathed her last earlier this week, confirmed her boyfriend Andrew Moore.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In a video message on the platform, Moore said, \u201cI\u2019m sad to say that she passed away today around half-eleven this morning.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI just want to say thank you to everyone. All your comments did help, like, she did actually read all of them. Anyone who said anything nice ever, it means more than you realize. We\u2019ll all miss Leah but we\u2019ll make sure that we never forget her,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Smith experienced back pain in 2020, before she gradually lost sensation in her left leg which led to her suspecting a serious medical issue. The TikTok star was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer known as Ewing\u2019s Sarcoma.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe doctors have said there\u2019s no point trying to give me more antibiotics and fluids because it just isn\u2019t working anymore. All the pain meds aren\u2019t working so they really just want to get me to a comfortable state as much as possible,\u201d Smith shared with her fans last month after her health worsened around winter.<\/p>\n

Notably, Ewing\u2019s sarcoma is a rare type of bone cancer, generally affecting teenagers and young adults, in their arms, legs, ribs, spine, pelvis or in soft tissues around bones and joints.<\/p>\n
