Shayla Wishloff’s mother said her daughter was taken to an Edmonton hospital via ambulance in November, where she died waiting for the help.
“She was a beautiful person and she did so much to help so many people, even when she was so sick,” Tamara Wishloff said.
Shayla was diagnosed in September 2019 with Stage 2 breast cancer — a Grade 3 invasive ductal carcinoma — and endured months of chemotherapy, followed by a double mastectomy, reconstructive surgery, then six weeks of radiation.
It wasn’t enough.
Despite the treatments, the aggressive cancer metastasized to other parts of Shayla’s body, including her lymph nodes, lungs and brain.
In October 2020, doctors told her she had reached Stage 4, was terminal and she didn’t have much time left.
She ended up going to the U.S. early last year, to take part in a clinical trial at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
