A 30-year-old California mum, Jamie
Snider, who beat cancer while she was
pregnant with twins, died tragically Friday,
just a day after giving birth to the babies.
Snider who was a mother to two older
daughters, had beaten cancer once before but
lost an ovary in the process. She was
shocked to learn she was pregnant with
twins, but then during the ultra sound,
doctors discovered an aggressive form of
cervical cancer had returned.
“Everything about her was infectious from her
beautiful bright green eyes, her big smile, her
laugh and her hugs!”
Snider underwent intensive treatment and
therapies for her disease while continuing to
nourish the growth of her two little miracles.
She underwent chemotherapy and radiation
at Stanford Medical Center, and shared on
Facebook that she was undergoing a radical
hysterectomy after a planned C-section
delivery. On March 16th, she wrote:
“Tomorrow will be a great day, God has been
by my side the whole time. All your prayers
and love have kept me going as well. Wish
me luck. I’m having a C-section at 7 and
then a radical hysterectomy right after. I’ll be
fine. Thank you, God, for keeping me positive
through all the hard times.”
The babies were born prematurely at 33
weeks and weighed only about 3½ pounds.
The twins, Camila and Nico were tiny,
healthy, vibrant and stable, according to
family friend.
Snider didn’t die of Cancer, a day after the
surgeries, Snider suffered congestive heart
failure and died.
