Street Outlaws star Lizzy Musi shared heartbreaking video about her years-long cancer battle just weeks before death
LIZZY Musi has shared a personal video about her battle with breast cancer weeks before she died.
The Street Outlaws: No Prep Kings star was diagnosed with breast cancer last year.
Musi took to Instagram and shared a video about her journey with breast cancer.
The vulnerable footage shows the star losing her hair and fainting after taking her medication, as well as happier moments like her being able to greet her fans and spend time with her loved ones.
“The month of APRIL marks a full year since I got diagnosed with Stage 4 Triple negative breast cancer.”
“I am so very thankful to what this journey has actually taught me. I now know I have a purpose in life.
“I am grateful to keep going. GOD, my support of my family & friends and my knowledgeable doctors @mdandersoncancercenter AND @dukecancerinstitute gives me the strength and go!”
At the time, many of her fans shared support for the racing star in the comments.
“We love you Lizzy stay strong,” one person wrote.
“Well I was teary eyed watching this, then our Video popped up and I lost it, way to make me ugly cry,” another person commented.
“You’re awesome. Such a fan,” a third person added.
‘HURTS MY HEART’
Musi rose to fame after scoring three victories in Street Outlaws.
In 2023, she was diagnosed with stage 4 triple-negative breast cancer – the most aggressive type of breast cancer, causing her to step away from the show.
The cancer had spread to her lymph nodes and liver, but the star remained hopeful about her condition.
Last month, she shared that she would be seeking treatment at the Medias Klinikum treatment center in Burghausen, Germany.
“I’ve kind of tried everything here [in the U.S.], and I’ve researched the doctor and treatment in Germany that can isolate my liver and treat it,” Lizzy told Drag Illustrated at the time.
