On January 9, 2022, Gloom made her final appearance (until further notice) on her YouTube Channel in a video aptly titled ‘Signing Off’.
The contents of the video revealed a health scare she experienced around last Christmas. Gloom recalled that it all started when she noticed an itchy lump on the right side of her chest on a lazy Christmas Eve night.
Owing to her family history of cancer, Gloom was worried about it being diagnosed as breast cancer. She explained that her maternal aunt, who was also named Kassima, had passed away from similar cancer at a young age.
Gloom got her condition checked out in an emergency room and booked a follow-up appointment at the hospital. After undergoing an ultrasound and a mammogram checkup, it was found that she had a cyst in her breast.
Though Gloom was relieved about it not being breast cancer, she was left unconvinced when the hospital did not provide additional details on the nature of the cyst and whether it could potentially lead to cancer. Thus, she planned on having it assessed by her family doctor, saying:
“I am not usually this dramatic or reactive but based on my family history, I just wanted some questions to be answered. So I’m going to have to go see a family doctor and he is going to assess my results and if push comes to shove, I am going to take a biopsy. It’s a lot of stuff that I have been really, really deeply worried about.”
