The World's Most Beautiful Twins Sentenced to Death! + Photos

According to Saed News, citing Rozyato, identical twin sisters have both experienced symptoms and side effects commonly associated with cancer over the past five years—but strangely, only one of them actually has the deadly disease. On October 25, 2017, it was confirmed that 16-year-old Sophie Walker had Wilms’ tumor, a type of kidney cancer, after which she began a four-week course of chemotherapy.

In the five years since Sophie’s diagnosis, she has faced four relapses, despite being declared cancer-free twice. During this period, her twin sister Megan also experienced many similar symptoms. After Sophie was diagnosed following stomach and abdominal pain, Megan exhibited comparable signs, including stomach and back pain, paleness, and even weight loss.

Rebecca Walker, the twins’ mother from Edinburgh, Scotland, said, “When Sophie was first diagnosed, Megan displayed all the symptoms too. People always said she looked sickly, even paler than her sister. Every possible test has been done on her, and there is absolutely nothing wrong. It’s very strange.” Following 27 weeks of initial chemotherapy, Sophie was cancer-free until January 2020, when a routine MRI revealed a concerning issue in her spine.

Consultation with doctors revealed that a needle used in Sophie’s initial tumor had shifted slightly, spreading cancer cells to other parts of her body. After three weeks of radiotherapy, Sophie experienced another recurrence in December 2021. By December 2022, she was declared cancer-free again—only to be informed three months ago that the cancer had returned. Rebecca recounted, “One day we went for Sophie’s test and were told by the counselor there was no sensation at that spot. But the next day, they called us again. All the counselors said the results weren’t good, and she began to cry. Sophie saw her own reflection and broke down—for the first time in six years.”

Sophie’s father, 44-year-old Jamie Walker, left the doctor’s office with her to comfort her while Rebecca stayed behind to ask additional questions. Doctors later said that a surgical team could remove the tumor from her spine. Despite this hope, Sophie continues to struggle with depression and anxiety—feelings mirrored exactly by Megan. Rebecca explained, “Megan can’t live if Sophie isn’t okay. We’re a big family and always try to support each other, and Megan has been deeply affected.” Sophie and Megan have eight other siblings, ranging in age from 20 years to just eight months. Doctors suggest that the shared pain and distress may be linked to their twin connection, though it remains highly unusual.
