Kyedae talks mental health struggles amid cancer diagnosis

Even though Kyedae is one of the mentally strongest streamers, her cancer diagnosis has had an effect on her mental health, which she shared on one of her streams.

Kyedae opened up about her feelings and experience with her diagnosis, stating “I’m having just a really f***king difficult day. And I obviously only show a little bit of how I’m feeling and what I’m going through, and a lot of people are saying I’m really strong. But I’m not. I’m actually really scared. I’m really f***king scared.”

The streamer’s words touched the hearts of her viewers, who filled the chat with as much support and love as they could muster.

Despite going through her own cancer diagnosis, Kyedae still wanted to bring attention to an individual’s mental health and how everyone is going through stuff, even if it doesn’t seem like much to the viewer.

“I wanted to tell you guys this because people on the outside can look like they’re doing well on the outside but, they’re not on the inside. And just please know that everyone is going through stuff and this isn’t just a pity party. It’s not what I want.”

Kyedae is an exceptional figure within the Valorant community and continues her fight against cancer with masses of support, love and care from viewers, fans and the community alike.
