Famous social media star Nara Smith announced that her two-year-old daughter, Whimsy Smith, was diagnosed with cancer.

In an emotional video, which was captioned, "Thankful for each and every nurse and doctor along our journey who helped us get through and out the other end," Nara detailed the journey.

Nara mentioned that her motherly instincts drove her to rush their daughter to the ER after noticing something odd. At the ER, they did not know what to make of it, so they went to their family paediatrician, who picked up the cancer.

Nara detailed the moment they were told about the cancer, saying her heart sank when the doctor went silent.
