Heartbreaking Final Post of Popular Teenage Vlogger Before She Died from Brain Cancer at Just 19 (Photos+Video)

 

A teenage cancer sufferer who shared her hard-fought battle in a series of inspirational video blogs has died from a brain tumour.

 

Charlotte Eades, 19, passed away yesterday after suffering from an inoperable brain cancer, her mother announced. 

 

She shared news of her death on her daughter's vlog in a poignant final post entitled 'Thank you all - 1997-2016'. 

 

 

 

 

 

Charlotte was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer in July 2013 on the same day she was supposed to be attending her school prom. 

 

She started vlogging shortly afterwards after finding most of the support for cancer was aimed at adults. 

 

During her treatment, she endured painful operations and radiotherapy which left her partially blind and deaf, as well as going through chemotherapy five days a week.  

 

 

In the final month of her life, the brave teenager was unable to talk, walk, bathe or use the toilet without assistance, her mother's heartbreaking message said. 

 

But by the end, the brain tumour - which she nicknamed 'The Terminator' - had robbed her of speech and left her paralysed down the right side of her body.

 

Once too scared to speak publicly about her cancer, Charlotte became the star of her own YouTube video blog, which she used to inspire other young cancer patients.

 

She documented everything from her hair falling out to it tips about how to manage it when it grows back.

 

Her regular, candid updates gave a stark insight into her world 'living on a knife edge' with the disease.

 

In one emotional post she explains how her tumour has grown from three or four millimetres to three centimetres, admitting: 'I'm very scared, I don't know what to do now.' 

 

In last year's Stand Up To Cancer campaign, she was paid a surprise visit by famous vlogger Marcus Butler, who described her as 'brave' and 'inspiring'.  

 

When he asked why she was fighting her cancer so publicly, she explained how many people didn't like to talk about it and modestly admitted she had become a 'big voice.' 

 

 

 

They then recorded a video together, asking 10 unusual questions about each other and to get her message across to his millions of followers. 

 

Last summer she also became the face of a new CLIC Sargent charity campaign.

 

In a powerful short film, she tells her owns story of what her life was like after she was diagnosed with cancer.

 

The 70-second film ends with Charlotte telling viewers: 'I have had just two years, one year, cancer in my best years. 

 

 

 

Speaking exclusively to MailOnline last June, she said: 'When I was told I had cancer, I had no idea that young people could get it.

 

 

She said she was inspired to take part in CLIC Sargent's #3outof3 appeal after being helped at every stage in her treatment by the charity.

 

 

The ravages of cancer show how she was unable to communicate in her last videos, as her mother helped her to continue her vlog by speaking on her behalf.

 

On World Cancer Day earlier this month, she sits on camera and gives a wave, despite it clearly being difficult for her.   

 

 

Her mother then reads a message from Charlotte saying she would 'love to speak' but that it was 'a little difficult right now,' as the progression of the cancer left her unable to talk.

 

'I have to be honest, life at the moment is a real struggle with little to look forward to,' she reads.

 

But despite her suffering, she remained optimistic, adding that she hoped her medication was working and her body could repair some of the damage caused.

 

 

Charlotte's brother Miles also paid tribute to her in the last message, which has already been watched by more than 8,000 in a matter of hours.

 

'It was Charlotte's goal in life to help others, she educated secondary school pupils about cancer and volunteered her time tirelessly as a real, honest and uniquely interpersonal vlogger,' he said.

 

 

 

'Thank you very much.'
