29-Year-Old TikTok Influencer Kaelin Bradshaw Dies After Courageous Battle With Rare Bile Duct Cancer

Kaelin Bradshaw, a popular TikTok influencer from Florida, has died at age 29 following her battle with stage 4 cholangiocarcinoma, a rare and aggressive bile duct cancer.

Her husband Austin announced the tragic news on her TikTok account on Wednesday (Oct 29), sharing that she passed away on Monday while surrounded by loved ones.

"Our beautiful girl passed Oct. 27 at 1:27 am, holding my hand, she was not in pain, and her room was surrounded by the love and compassion of our entire family," Austin stated in his heartfelt video message.

Throughout her cancer journey, Kaelin documented her experiences on TikTok, regularly sharing hospital videos and health updates with her followers who supported her along the way.

Austin explained, "From the moment Kaelin was diagnosed, she was devastated, but also determined. She promised me and our family she was going to fight and never give up. She fulfilled her promise, but unfortunately, her disease progressed beyond her body's ability to keep fighting."

He emphasized that she was never alone during her final moments or throughout her treatment. "She was not in pain, and her room was surrounded by the love and compassion of our entire family," he said. "She was not alone, nor was she ever alone throughout this entire journey."

"Her family and I were next to her at all times, behind the camera, in ears reach," Austin added.

Kaelin's father, Mark Bradshaw, shared his grief on Instagram, writing: "It is with a heavy heart, we lost our beloved angel today. Kaelin-Your light touched so many people, and your memory will forever shine in our hearts."

According to the Mayo Clinic, cholangiocarcinoma is a cancer that forms in the bile ducts that carry digestive fluid. These ducts connect the liver to the gallbladder and small intestine. This form of cancer typically affects people over 50, though it can develop at any age.

To help with mounting medical expenses, the couple had established a GoFundMe campaign. On the fundraising page, Kaelin had revealed that Austin made significant sacrifices, including selling his truck and boat, while working continuously to manage their financial challenges during her treatment.
