Blood, Sweat and Heels star Daisy Lewellyn has died at age 36. She lost her battle with a rare liver cancer, according to E! News.

Lewellyn revealed her diagnosis in February 2015. She decided to keep the cameras rolling for the second season of her Bravo series, which featured her chemo therapy treatments and struggles with the illness.

Here’s everything you need to know.

1. Lewellyn Had a ‘Super Rare Type of Cancer’

Lewellyn had cancer in the bile ducts of her liver, which she described as a “super rare type of cancer” in an interview with Madame Noire. She had the tumor removed but went through with chemotherapy and radiation treatment after more cancerous cells were discovered. When doctors initially discovered the cancer, the reality star was already at stage three.

Lewellyn told Madame Noire:

Leave it to me to get the exclusive, rare cancer. No one gets it, especially at my age with my health and my lifestyle. It’s kind of unheard of. I was diagnosed at 34. It was kind of shocking.

2. She Was Not Afraid to Die

Lewellyn made clear early on that she was not afraid to die, but she was determined to live as long as she could. She also knew she had to fight for her family and friends, she told Madame Noire.

I was like, “Well, if it’s my time to go, I’m okay with it.” But then I had to start thinking about other people in my life and it’s not that easy just to decide just like that. I realized that it was hard for my family and my friends. I’m not afraid to go to heaven, but I would like to stay on earth if I can. If it’s my time to go, then I can say that I had a great life.
