“Since then, bad vomiting with an achy body until yesterday. I couldn’t move from the bathroom and I felt terrible.

“Today, I feel a little stronger. Since yesterday, I haven’t vomited and I’ve started eating, which I hadn’t done since Friday, and I’m starting to improve. Let’s go little by little.”

After building a following by sharing content on clothes and makeup brands, she transitioned to spreading awareness about skin cancer as well. She had amassed over 340,000 followers across her TikTok and Instagram pages.

She explained that her diagnosis came after the appearance of a strange mole. She visited a doctor to get a birthmark removed before she got her diagnosis, Euro reports.

Another mourner said: “I cannot believe it. Life is super unfair, Patri.”

It’s super important to keep an eye on any moles or growths you notice on your skin, especially if they change size, colour or shape as this could be melanoma – a type of skin cancer caused by too much sun exposure.

Sunlight is our main source of ultraviolet (UV) light and causes the most skin cancer, damaging the DNA in our skin cells.

Therefore, it's important to regularly check in on our skin so that we can be fully aware of any unexpected changes.
