In a TikTok video sharing the news, Suede posted herself singing along to "Go Bravely," calling the lyrics unexpectedly comforting.
She's now starting treatment with a new immunotherapy drug and will have surgery this fall.
Through it all, she hopes her music can lift others too: "This song has already helped me grow and realign with the vision and purpose God has for me... hopeful that it can be a push to you the same way it was for me!"
