During a more recent stream, Kyedae disclosed her decision to withhold the news from her family and fiance, TenZ, until the recent Sau Paulo VCT to prevent distractions. Additionally, the streamer has shared her experiences and methods of coping with the challenging news.

Kyedae, a Canadian streamer of Japanese heritage, launched her streaming journey in October 2021, utilizing the PC of her then-boyfriend, the renowned esports figure TenZ. Their combined impact on the Valorant community has earned them a position of distinction, captivating audiences both as individual streamers and as a streaming duo.

Kyedae’s charismatic and lovable nature has played a pivotal role in her rapid rise to fame within a remarkably brief span. Even after revealing her leukemia diagnosis, she maintained her jovial demeanor during her first stream, sharing how she utilizes humor as a coping mechanism in the face of the immense stress brought about by her battle with cancer.

Kyedae shared that she had chosen not to disclose her cancer diagnosis to her family and partner. She explained that she had learned about her condition approximately two-and-a-half weeks ago but hadn’t informed anyone, including her parents or her fiancé, TenZ, until after his tournament.

TenZ and Kyedae have been in a long-term relationship and became engaged amid much excitement last August. As a prominent member of the Sentinels roster, TenZ’s focus on his game was crucial to Kyedae. She wanted him to remain fully concentrated during the recent VCT Lock//In Sao Paulo competition, hence her decision to delay sharing the news.

Kyedae expressed her desire for him to maintain his unwavering dedication to his work, and she acknowledged TenZ’s strength and unwavering support throughout this challenging period. She encouraged others to send their love and support to him as well.

Acute myeloid leukemia

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow. It is characterized by the rapid growth and accumulation of abnormal myeloid cells, which are responsible for producing red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. AML typically progresses rapidly, interfering with the production of healthy blood cells and causing a range of symptoms.

The development of AML begins when normal blood cells undergo genetic mutations, leading to their transformation into leukemia cells. These abnormal cells multiply at an accelerated rate, crowding out healthy cells in the bone marrow. As a result, the production of normal blood cells is disrupted, leading to a deficiency in oxygen-carrying red blood cells, impaired immune function due to reduced white blood cells, and an increased risk of bleeding and bruising due to low platelet count.

Common symptoms of AML include fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, frequent infections, easy bruising or bleeding, and bone pain. As the disease progresses, individuals with AML may experience weight loss, fever, and swollen lymph nodes. Prompt diagnosis is crucial to determine the specific subtype of AML and guide appropriate treatment strategies.

Treatment for AML typically involves chemotherapy, which aims to destroy leukemia cells and allow for the restoration of normal blood cell production. In some cases, a bone marrow transplant may be recommended to replace the diseased bone marrow with healthy donor cells. Supportive care, including blood transfusions and antibiotics to prevent or manage complications, is also an important aspect of managing AML.

Research efforts continue to advance our understanding of AML, leading to the development of targeted therapies and more personalized treatment approaches. Early detection, comprehensive treatment plans, and ongoing support are essential in the fight against acute myeloid leukemia.
