All we know about Bhad Bhabie's cancer diagnosis:

During the livestream, Bhad Bhabie said:

"I'm going to top doctors, right? They're not gonna do a plastic surgery on a cancer patient without clearance from their cancer doctor. I had to get clearance both times for both my surgeries."

She also responded to the critics who are calling her out for having surgery when her immune system is compromised:

"The type of cancer that I have is a blood cancer," she continued. "It's not breast cancer, it's not lung cancer, it's not none of that sh*t y'all be talking about. I have a blood cancer. The only thing that it does is make my white blood cell count high. It doesn't affect me physically."

"Lying about plastic surgery is a problem and clearly so is telling the truth about having it," she wrote. "I choose to [be] open with y'all about what I have done and mfs still make sh*t a problem y'all are crazy. ... I don't know who told y'all you can't get surgery when you have cancer ... I was cleared by my Dr mind the business that pays you."
