Susan Wojcicki: YouTube CEO’s latest post before he died

A prehumous post by his former CEO, Susan Wojcicki, on her personal blog sees the light of day, four months after her death. In this post, Susan Wojcicki describes the unequal battle she fought with . The late CEO of YouTube, Susan Wojcicki, in her last text shares more details about the diagnosis of lung cancer, a disease that cut off her life thread last August at 56 years. Susan Wojcicki, who died after nearly a decade in charge of the company, wrote the blog a few weeks before her death and planned to publish it herself. A YouTube spokesman told “Business Insider” that after the loss of the CEO of the online colossus, her family and the company decided to publish it on YouTube’s blog in November, which is the Week of Awareness for Lung Cancer. YouTube also collaborated with “Stand Up To Cancer” on a small site with information about lung cancer. On her blog, Susan Wojcicki revealed she was surprised by the diagnosis, as she did not smoke while doing daily jogging! It was diagnosed in late 2022, with non-small cell lung cancer, the most common form of the disease in the respiratory tract. The most important lesson – as the 56-year-old businesswoman wrote – was to focus and enjoy every moment. “Life is unpredictable for everyone, with many unknown, but there is much beauty in everyday life,” he wrote. “My goals in the future are to enjoy the present as much as possible and to fight for better understanding and treatments for this disease.” In February 2023 she resigned from her professional duties to devote herself to “family, health and personal actions”, in cancer research, she wrote, hoping to gather as much funding as she could to fight disease in favour of patients. Prior to her diagnosis with lung cancer, she and her husband, Dennis Tropper, were already active advocates of cancer and technology research, such as the genetic sequence. “After my diagnosis, we intensified our efforts as we quickly learned that lung cancer was under investigation and misunderstanding,” wrote Susan Wojcicki. The couple gave millions of dollars for research in areas such as immunotherapy and early detection. “I intend to raise awareness and fight for more resources for lung cancer patients as a whole,” was her last sentence on her pre-death blog. source: businessinsider.com
