A teen influencer battling terminal cancer has revealed she is pregnant.
Isabel Veloso, 18, was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2021 when she was just 15 years old.
She has a 17cm tumour between her lungs and her heart and has been given just months to live.

But Isabel, who has 3.2m Instagram followers, has made a staggering announcement, as reported by What’s The Jam.
She has posted a picture revealing that she is expecting a baby with her husband Lucas Borbas, who she married in April this year.
They shared the news on 11 August, which is Father’s Day in their native Brazil.
Isabel shared a photo of her and Lucas in a wheat field with a picture frame in the foreground.
The picture shows a mock front page article with the caption: “Breaking news. Baby’s coming.”
Isabel underwent chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant and was given the all clear in November 2023.
Tragically, the cancer returned in a more aggressive form just three months later.
In January this year, Isabel was told that her condition was terminal and she only has months to live.
Doctors initially told her it would be between four and six months, but have since shortened their estimate after new tests.
In her pregnancy announcement, Isabel also quoted Psalm 139:16 from The Bible: “Your eyes saw my unformed body.
“All the days ordained for me were written in your book.
“Before one of them came to be.”
She added: “Love you.”
Her post went viral with 700,000 likes and 44,000 comments.
One fan said: “My mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer and we opted for palliative treatment. From the first day of symptoms to the day of her death, it was exactly 3 months and 5 days.”
Sandra wrote: “My daughter was cured of cancer when she got pregnant. The doctors said that the amount of hormones produced in her body made it better.”
Roberta commented: “I had breast cancer at 27 and then I had a tumour and lost an ovary and a fallopian tube. After hearing countless times that I couldn’t have children, at 32 I had my daughter Helena.”
However, Athena called Isabel “selfish” for falling pregnant with apparently just a few months to live.
