14-Year-Old Zuza Beine, Who Documented Her Cancer Journey on Social Media, Dies

""She lived 11 of her 14 years with a relentless cancer, yet lived more fully and gratefully than most. Her being changed us forever, and her dying will too," they continued. The Wisconsin teen's loved ones went on to say that the final reel Beine posted just days ago "captures what she was grateful for - a testament to a life filled with both beauty and suffering.""

""After going into remission for five years, the cancer returned. She went on to prep for her first of three bone marrow transplants by receiving "some of the hardest chemos you can imagine," she said. After another year of remission, Beine relapsed again - a pattern that would repeat over and over. "My cancer gets stronger every time it relapses," she told viewers. "So that basically means it's harder to get rid of each time I relapse.""

Zuza Beine was a 14-year-old social media influencer who spent 11 of her 14 years living with acute myeloid leukemia after a diagnosis at age 3. She experienced cycles of remission and relapse, with each relapse becoming harder to treat. She underwent intense chemotherapy, participated in several medical trials that proved unsuccessful, and prepared for three bone marrow transplants; the third transplant in March 2024 was unsuccessful. She documented her journey on Instagram and TikTok, was a member of Glow House, and used her final posts to express gratitude while describing a desire to be a normal, healthy kid.
