In July 2018, at just 36 years old, Ms. Lopez was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer.
The diagnosis came after doctors initially told her the lump in her breast was nothing to worry about. However, after months of dating, she was told the life-changing news.
After years of battling cancer, the mother-of-one got the all-clear and said her cancer was gone, but just two years later the insidious disease returned.
Ms. Lopez documented the ups and downs of her journey and despite all the challenges she remained happy.
She is now being hailed as a hero for saving thousands of lives with her informative and honest videos.
