A teenage girl began to suffer from symptoms of cancer when her twin was diagnosed in 2017, despite not having the disease herself.
Sophie Walker, 16, was diagnosed with Wilms tumor, which is a type of kidney cancer, on October 25, 2017 and started four weeks of chemotherapy soon following.
Over the next five years, she went into remission twice, but relapsed four times.
Shortly following Sophie was diagnosed with stomach cramps, her twin sister, Megan, began experiencing similar symptoms, including stomach and back pain, paleness and weight loss. .
The sisters are from Edinburgh, Scotland, reports Mirror.
Rebecca Walker, the girls’ mother, attests to the strange relationship between the two sisters.
“When Sophie was diagnosed, Megan started experiencing the same symptoms. People comment all the time on how sick she looks – she is even paler than her sister,” she explains.
“She has had every possible test imaginable, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with her. It’s really weird, ”adds the mother.
The Walker family created a page on crowdfunding platform GoFundMe to raise money for proton therapy in New York.
