Fitness blogger Cheyann Shaw, 27, who shared struggle with ovarian cancer, dies TODAY 1/7/2021 Meghan Holohan
When fitness blogger Cheyann Shaw learned she had stage 4 ovarian cancer in 2016, she was determined to show her followers what life with cancer was truly like. While many might have been overwhelmed by such a serious diagnosis, Shaw felt it was another chance to talk about health and to educate others about ovarian cancer.
“I tell myself every morning that today is a great day to have a great day,” she told TODAY in 2016. “Life is beautiful and at the end of the day I would say I am very blessed. Cancer has taught me a lot already and I feel blessed that I am able to use my story and journey to help others.”
