Who was Natasha Allen? All about TikToker as she dies at 28 after cancer battle

TikTok influencer Natasha Allen has reportedly succumbed to her five-year battle with cancer at the age of 28.

Us Weekly has reported that her demise was confirmed on her social media accounts on Friday, August 22. A picture of her smiling was accompanied by the following message:

“Natasha was a beautiful soul full of love, kindness, and joy. She touched countless hearts and she was a big advocate for synovial sarcoma awareness. Her spirit will continue to inspire all who had the privilege of knowing her. Any donations will go towards her service, any remaining funds will go towards synovial sarcoma research.”

The post, shared to her combined following of over 225,000 people, ended with a quote from Natasha Allen herself, which read:

“Find meaning in your own life, find what makes you happy, find how you can make the world around you better.”

Per the Daily Mail, in the tribute confirming Natasha Allen's demise, her followers were also redirected to a GoFundMe page that was originally launched to raise money for her medical expenses.

However, it has since been retitled to 'In Memory of Natasha.' In the update, it states that all new alms will go towards her funeral expenses, while the funds raised earlier will be bequeathed to research for synovial sarcoma.

Back in June, the influencer shared an update with her fans, having undergone three cycles of high dose ifosfamide at the time, which she said "wrecked" her.

'I got hemorrhagic cystitis again, which is the bleeding of the bladder and it was even worse this time,' she told her fans. 'My body felt weaker. It felt like I couldn't, like, not live a normal life. She continued: 'I didn't see any friends in person really. I was holed up at home. I ended up in the hospital.'

She also revealed that she had three blood transfusions done and had been dealing with an unrelenting cough for 10 weeks. The side effects of her treatment were extreme for her, prompting her to ask her doctors for a break. Upon discussing her concerns, her doctors agreed to switch out her treatment.

People Magazine has reported that Natasha Allen was diagnosed with cancer in 2020. At the time, doctors discovered a malignant tumor in her knee, which they first presumed to be stage 3. Treatment, chemotherapy, and radiation ensued, and the influencer went into remission by 2021.

However, within months, the cancer returned and metastasized to her lungs. By then, it had progressed to stage 4.

"Officially, I have a 15 percent chance of being alive for five years after being diagnosed with stage 4. Me, however, I'm gonna be different. I'm putting that out in the universe," Natasha Allen said in an April TikTok video. "A lot of people ask me how I stay so positive, how I don't give up, and honestly, it's hard a lot of the days, but being with family, being with friends," she continued. "Focusing on what matters really grounds you. Even though I have this rare cancer, I still want to live my life."
