Late YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki's Final Message Revealed

As an ardent admirer of Susan Wojcicki, her indomitable spirit and relentless pursuit of making a difference continue to inspire me even after her passing. Her journey, marked by resilience, intelligence, and a profound sense of empathy, serves as a beacon for us all.


Susan Wojcicki is making an impact even after her passing.

Prior to the passing of the previous YouTube CEO due to lung cancer in August, at the age of 56, she penned a farewell blog entry detailing her struggle with the disease. On November 25, YouTube chose to publish this post as a tribute during Lung Cancer Awareness Month.

In her last note, she shared that towards the end of 2022, she was diagnosed with lung cancer. What made it even more surprising was that she wasn’t experiencing many symptoms and was regularly running several miles a day at the time. Since she had never smoked in her life, this diagnosis came as a complete shock to her.

In February 2023, Wojcicki stepped down from her position at the video platform. From then on, she directed her attention towards her health and family matters, encompassing her husband Dennis Troper and their four remaining children, who sadly lost their eldest son Marco in February due to a drug overdose at the age of 19.

She went on to say, ‘Living with cancer hasn’t been simple.’ Reflecting on her experience, she shared that she has transformed significantly. The greatest insight she’s gained? Embrace the now—life may be uncertain for all, filled with uncertainties, but there’s undeniable beauty in everyday living.

Nevertheless, Wojcicki was laying out strategies for the days ahead, such as dedicating her efforts and finances towards lung cancer research – a field she emphasized as being “undervalued” and “misconstrued.

Lung cancer, surprisingly, ranks as the leading cause of death from cancer in women and is the second most prevalent cancer type among them, according to Wojcicki. Despite a general decrease in lung cancer overall due to reduced tobacco use, there’s been a substantial increase in lung cancer cases among those who have never smoked, with two-thirds of these diagnoses being women.

Moving ahead, her aim is to savor the current moment as best as she can, while also advocating for increased knowledge and treatments for this illness.
