Musi first shared the news of her cancer diagnosis in April 2023 on Instagram.
“Hey guys, due to unexpected life changes I haven’t had much time to post,” she wrote then. “A few days ago I was diagnosed with triple negative stage 4 breast cancer which has spread through my lymph nodes to my liver.
“I have a tough journey ahead of me. I appreciate everyone’s messages and calls.”
Two months later, Lizzie revealed she had shaved her head due to “excessive hair loss”.
She shared a picture of her new look at the time, saying, “Well, this is the new me… Some days are hard to look in the mirror, but there are also days when I feel stronger than ever.”
Lizzie attended the event alongside her father, who, according to his website, is an eight-time PDRA Pro Street World Champion.
