Man. What a cool chick. Sad she's not with us anymore
Just learning of her today, but what a hero. Her family were already proud but this nails it. Such a beautiful disposition.
Infamous is the word not famous…
I've been disabled since childhood & not accomplished anything or lived any of my dreams, been stuck in a small-town apt alone for 15yrs & the only trip I've taken was my Make-A-Wish trip in early 2001. But after being clinically d€ad for close to an hour twice, I'm only less & less afraid to d1e. In fact, I'd be lucky to finally be allowed to rest, hopefully in my sleep, since the only other prognosis is my being completely alone & experiencing another total kidney failure or a 3rd massive heart failure, both of which I already went thru, long, painful, scary. I may not be perfect, but I don't think I deserve to go thru all that a 3rd time. And I can't even call 911, or I will end up waking up being shocked back again, against DNR forms & wishes that couldn't possibly be more clearly expressed, and which were already ignored TWICE now.
Sad to see she didn't completely beat the big C, but at least she didn't have to go thru a long, drawn-out torture session, alone & with nobody there when she passed. Not everyone gets to go out this way…
I wish I'd had social media when I became a life-long medical lab rat as a 14 year-old, maybe I wouldn't have become a clised-off anti-social ball of depression, anxiety & terminal stress who lost myself in the fictional worlds of 90s sci-fi TV shows. I was lucky enough to be blessed with a dozen chronic illnesses & 3 terminal illnesses in 24+ years now, and because it started at such a young age & none of my illnesses were the big C-word, I was just treated like a lazy drug-seeking kid, even after 8 failed open-back surgeries, each one adding much more pain, immobility & complications. Even after having untreated pain, anxiety & stress led to me clenching & grinding my teeth & jaw so much, they started crumbling like wet sand. I had to have all my remaining teeth pulled, 2 at a time as my severe jaw pain wouldn't allow for longer procedures, followed by weeks & months of complications, leading to my having no jawline & looking & feeling like a freak by age 34.
I am the only one in my extended family who has never once had a chance (or the help/support needed) at getting any transportation of my own, leading to not experiencing a thing outside of Walmart 2-3× a week & my 1 Dr appt I have to pay $40/ride to get to each month, and also to me losing 5 other doctors/specialists I'm supposed to be seeing (including a heart Dr & device clinic for my multiple massive heart failures & the defib/pacemaker that was put in my chest against my DNR, after I was forced back a 2nd time against clearly expressed DNR wishes) just because I'm not allowed transportation. I've not gone to anything fun or enjoyable, even a movie or yard sales I badly need to shop at for things I otherwise can't afford, in well over 20 years, and have been stuck in a toxic Michigan HUD prison cell for almost 15 years.
The only thing I've had in the world is my Youtube channel, but after a decade of giving it 1000% by myself with no budget or hardware, I can't get to 1k followers. Not newsworthy enough, I guess…
Been looking forward to this, in the sad way ❤
RIP sweet angel
Maybe she can use her fame to expose the trillion dollar cancer research business.
❤❤❤
🙂hello kasey ALTMAN god bless you !!! we must be cousins……😍
Cancertok misses her every single day, her death was part of a heartbreaking avalanche of loss in the community over just a few weeks. 🥺😪 you will never be forgotten sweet friend. 💓
Everything gonna be okay 👍 😊…..this I write after watching 10min of video never wanted to loose her….she was so lively 🥺
Grateful to have been a coach to this spitfire of a human being when she was in middle school. She is still doing amazing things. RIP Kasey. ❤
The worst tradeoff deal in history
The flame that burns Twice as bright burns half as long.
Lao Tzu, Te Tao Ching – Kasey was that flame
Kasey was and still is, a magnificent being. Her energy transcends space time. I know I'm not the only one who treasures these videos of her sharing her profound wisdom and reminding us what life is really about. We all miss you on this earthy plane though. Sending love into the ether.
I only ever knew Kasey from TikTok, but seeing this video of her made me cry and mourn her all over again. I miss her so much! She had more zeal for life than anyone I’ve ever known. It’s such a tragedy that someone as talented, kind, and intelligent as her was taken too soon by the evil that is cancer!
I hate cancer. It often takes the best and brightest from us, and in this case it did. What a wonderful human being, in the midst of death she shone the brightest. My mother had cancer twice, and fought it bravely, achieved remission until it reared its ugly head 20 years later in a new form. My thoughts and prayers go out to Kasey's family and friends for their loss.
Recently found out my mom has Cancer. She is in her 70s but doesn’t make it any easier to deal with. 😔
I want cancer!!! -Gen Z 🎉
She checked off many of society's benchmarks yet Natural Selection didn't choose her. The best contribution she can make is to not pass on her genes.
When it said she passed it put such a pit in my stomach. RIP
God her boyfriend is such a sweetheart.. so is mom. Breaks my heart that this absolutely beautiful ray of sunshine in this world has to go through such a traumatic painful experience.
What breaks my heart more is that we need more and more beautiful angels like her on earth… never met someone who has such a dreadful disease and yet your Ora is one of the brightest most beautiful ones I've ever seen. Xoxoxo stay strong honey. We are all here for you
Edit.
.
Just got to the end of the video.. RIP. Damn the end of this made me cry and totally knocked me backwards. Fly high you beautiful angel.
From one cancer to another…. Congrats…🤦🏼♂️
being someone who suffers from a terminal illness I totally understand the loneliness, what I don't get is how any human can be an asshat to someone dying let alone a young person who is dying and hasn't had much of their lives to live, what is wrong with some people. my sister in law wasn't supposed to make it but she beat all the odds of her cancer at the young age of 17 so stay positive no matter how crappy it gets cause no matter what the doctors tell you there is always hope. you will be missed.
