Mother Rebecca Walker said, when Sophie’s treatment was completed for the first time, Megan also had symptoms. People used to see her and say how sick she looks. We got all kinds of investigations done but nothing came out. It was amazing. Meanwhile, Sophie’s MRI revealed that there is some bug on her spine. This meant that the cancer had spread. Doctors said, this is a very difficult time. May you live good memories with it. We consulted many doctors but to no avail. Finally, in the meantime, Sophie passed away in January. The family was broken.
Second will have proton beam radiotherapy
Now they felt that Megan’s illness was not true. MRI was done from head to toe. Then nothing showed up. Doctors say that it can be seen in twins that what one is feeling, the other feels the same. But the reality came to know. Megan also had cancer. Now the Walker family is going to get Megan’s proton therapy done to save her.
