Diem Brown, MTV Reality Star, Dies of Cancer at the Age of 32

Diem Brown

Diem Brown, Challenge star, has been fighting a losing battle with cancer, and she’s been in the spotlight for it a lot. Unfortunately, the 32-year-old MTV star lost her battle with the killer disease on Friday, and her friends, coworkers and fans are desperately mourning the loss of the woman who was so brave and outspoken throughout her battle.

“MTV is tremendously sad to hear the news that Diem Brown has lost her long battle with cancer. We send our deepest condolences to her family and friends. Diem was a true fighter and brought passion to everything she touched. We will miss her,” was the statement that was issued by the music channel today.

The reality television star was so young when she lost her life, and she fought hard to overcome her disease and live as normally as possible. The star was first diagnosed with cancer and overcame her disease in 2006. She lived cancer free until she was diagnosed a second time in 2012. She managed to overcome cancer twice. She was recently diagnosed for a third time in the summer of 2014, and this time she wasn’t so fortunate as to live through her disease.

The reality star was very open about her battles, her desire to have kids, her challenges and her struggles. She blogged for People magazine throughout many of her battles, speaking candidly about the difficulties she faced as a cancer survivor, a young woman and someone faced so frequently with her own mortality. In fact, she was determined to live. One of the very last tweets she posted before her death read, “Whatever option I have to LIVE I’m grabbing!…No is not an option,” she said.

Unfortunately, her cancer got the best of her and she wasn’t able to continue trying different options to save her life. She was a true fighter, and she will be missed.
