TikTok star Dominique McShain dies aged 21 after tragic year-long battle with colon cancer

TIKTOK star Dominique McShain has died aged 21 after a tragic year-long battle with colon cancer.

The New Zealander was diagnosed with the incurable disease last year, aged 20.

She documented her experiences of the disease to her 200,000 TikTok followers.

The star tragically passed away just two weeks after a tragic update on April 6, reported People magazine – in which she informed followers of her looming death.

It read: “I want to be direct with you all: this will be my final update on my cancer journey until I have passed away.

“I’ve recently been given a prognosis about five days ago of only a few days to a few weeks to live.”

She added: “My life may be short, but I genuinely think I've squeezed every bit out of it.

“I won the lottery with a family that loves me unconditionally, friends who would 10000% donate a liver to me or do anything they could (and probably argue over who gets to do it).

“Recently, I've been picturing Heaven often — a place where l'll finally be free from the pain that's been with me for so long.

“I imagine myself without the constant suffering, no longer needing medication just to survive the day.

“I'll be able to run, to breathe, to feel whole. Though it will hurt to leave you all behind, please know that I will finally be out of pain, and I will be at peace.”
