Valorant star Kyedae ‘Kyedae’ Shymko has given fans another update regarding her cancer diagnosis, claiming that she has officially finished chemotherapy.
In March 2023, 100 Thieves’ Kyedae revealed to fans that she had been diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, a type of cancer found in blood and bone marrow.
Kyedae’s announcement shocked the streaming community, resulting in an outpouring of support and positivity toward the Valorant broadcaster.
Since then, Kyedae has given viewers small updates here and there, opening up about her mental health in a stream shortly after her announcement, saying she was “really scared” about the situation.
Kyedae reveals she’s done with chemotherapy: “I’m so happy”
However, Kyedae had good news for her viewers on September 26, nearly six months after announcing her initial diagnosis.
During her Twitch stream, Kyedae revealed that she had officially finished chemotherapy, marking a major milestone in her treatment and recovery. Chemotherapy is an intense treatment for cancer, often causing hair loss and other symptoms as it kills cancer cells in the body.
The streamer claimed that her hair and nails have started to grow back, but also made sure to explain to fans that this does not mean the rest of her treatment has been completed.

“My nails have been growing a little bit, too, and I’m so happy. I’m really happy.”
