Through an interview with PEOPLE, the content creator didn’t hesitate to talk about the symptoms that led her to detect cancer.

«The symptoms of sarcoma are very significant because there isn’t a screening test. My symptom was the most common symptom in soft tissue sarcoma,» she affirmed.

«[Everything was] completely normal, including all my lab values, except for a small but rapidly growing lump on my left leg,» she told the magazine.

Dr. Nix not only fought for her own life but also inspired countless people through her words and actions.
