An influencer who was diagnosed with cancer has revealed that her illness has spread – after she dreamt she was unwell prior to her cancer diagnosis.
Farkile, who has over one million followers, informed her followers of the news in September.
The 28-year-old said that she had a dream that she was unwell with the disease and, after visiting her doctor, was later diagnosed with thyroid cancer.
The content creator updates her followers on her health journey, and within days of her diagnosis she announced that her cancer had metastasised.
In another video, Farkile stated that doctors had in fact found three tumours instead of one.
Her diagnosis has come as a shock to the internet star, who is from Porto Velho, Brazil, as she hadn’t suffered any symptoms prior.
In one of her videos, Farkile says: “My case is a little more complex because [the cancer] metastasized and reached two of my lymph nodes, one on the right side and one on the left.
“Thank god I found out at the right time.”
The influencer, who runs her own cosmetics brand, has said that the type of cancer she has isn’t well known.
For this reason, she has chosen to use her platform to spread awareness to her followers.
“This year, I had a dream, which I believe was a warning from god,” Farkile continued in another video.
“I dreamed that I had cancer.
“I didn’t have any symptoms and my blood tests didn’t show anything either.
“So, guys, include the thyroid ultrasound in your routine exams.”
In October, Farkile underwent surgery to have her thyroid and lymph nodes removed, as reported by Need To Know.
She had previously shared online that she was ‘very tense’ due to being ‘afraid of surgery’.
Despite her journey still not being over, she alerted her followers that her surgery was a success, sharing a photo of herself smiling in her hospital bed.
She wrote: “It was a process longer than expected, as the doctor found more than we imagined.
“But I am relieved and so grateful to be surrounded by so much love and support.
“Now to force the recovery because this journey ain’t over yet… I declare this battle already won.”
As Farkile recovers, she will still require regular check-ups but will undoubtedly continue sharing her journey with her followers.
