Despite her brutal battle, Brown always remained extremely positive and documented her journey on Instagram for her nearly 145,000 followers.

"I want people to know that the fight is worth it," she told People in October. "And that's something that's so important for me."

"It's my personal perspective that you live as hard and as vigorously as you can," she said last month. "My goals are something I believe in, because I believe I'm going to make it. I'm going to have a family and get married and the whole American, 2½ kids, white-picket fence dream. It's something that's really important to me, because it means a long-term future."
