Kaylin Andres

Kaylin Marie Andres (May 28, 1985 – November 21, 2016) was an American writer, artist, and fashion designer.
She was born on May 28, 1985 in Sacramento, California. She graduated from El Camino Fundamental High School in 2003. When Andres was 23 years old, in 2008, she was diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma. She was in her senior year at the California College of the Arts where she was studying fashion.
While she was in treatment, she wrote about her experience in a blog called Cancer Is Not Funny. For Andres, writing about what she was going through and using humor helped her cope with the experience. Her experiences as a young adult with cancer were chronicled in season two of the MTV series, World of Jenks, and in the comic book, Terminally Illin, published by Last Gasp.
