Influencer Nara Smith gives update on 2-year-old daughter diagnosed with cancer

Popular content creator and model Nara Smith has delivered an update on her daughter's health after confirming that she had cancer earlier this month.

The 24-year-old took to Instagram to share an update on her two-year-old daughter Whimsy Lou, who she shares with husband Lucky Blue Smith.

She said: "I just wanted to come on here and say thank you so, so much for all your kind messages, prayers, support. It truly has meant so, so much to us.

"Lucky and I have been going through this and processing it for the last eight months, and we were debating on even sharing such a private part of our life.

"I wanted to wait until she was done with treatment and us knowing what the outcome of her situation would be before sharing it and even finding the words to share it.

"Now that she's finally in remission, it felt like I could find the words to share. The whole point of me sharing our experience was to shed light on what so many families go through and battle privately.

"Going through chemo treatments opened my eyes to how expensive medical care is and what a toll it takes on families specifically. So I've been researching charities and foundations to support, but in the meantime, want to post some links that could help families.

"Lucky and I have been trying to return to everyday life and taking it day by day. I don't know whether life will ever feel normal again, but we're trying to navigate this next chapter the best that we can.

"But with all of that being said, thank you so much to every single person for your kindness. I'm sending all my love to families that are actively still going through this fight."

The TikToker, who is known for making things 'from scratch' online, had only confirmed the tragic news earlier this month online, but it is clear that the family have been going through it privately for some time.

They initially noticed 'something suspicious' on the toddler before taking her to the emergency room, where they received the devastating diagnosis.

In a previous video, Smith explained: "After a lot of X-rays, ultrasounds and finally a biopsy, they immediately called us and said that she had cancer, told us it had spread and that she needs to come and start chemo treatments immediately.

"Having found all of this out and navigating this while postpartum, also loving and caring for our other kids at home, also being in the hospital with Whimsy a lot and balancing work on top of that has been really challenging."

The influencer also shares children Rumble Honey, Slim Easy and Fawnie Golden with her husband.
