Daisy Lewellyn, known as one of the starts on Bravo’s “Blood, Sweat & Heels” reality show, has passed away.
Daisy, who was 36, was diagnosed with stage 3 bile duct cancer in 2014. She revealed her diagnosis to her cast mates during season two of the show.
“I was doing press for season one and my makeup artists noticed that my eyes had this crazy green,” Daisy told OK! Magazine. “I assumed I was just tired – but it turned out I had a tumor in my bile duct. It’s super rare.”
“I’d thought the next “Big C” in my life would be my career, but I was never expecting cancer,” said Daisy.
Daisy described 2014 as a very “up and down” and “unpredictable” year because she never knew how she would feel on any given day. While filming “Blood, Swear & Heels” she completed treatment, which included surgery to remove the tumor, chemo and radiation.
“I have cancer – cancer doesn’t have me. Every day comes with its challenges, but that doesn’t stop me from celebrating what I have in my life,” she said. “I wanted to turn this tragedy into triumph by sharing my story in hopes that even one person could feel inspired.”
Cast mate Demetria confirmed the news of Daisy’s death via Instagram. Our condolences to Daisy’s loved ones.
