Mum of two, 34, thought she had 'bad flu' - but it was a one-in-a-million cancer that quickly….see more

A Lancashire woman’s ‘flu’ symptoms turned out to be the telltale signs of a little-known, aggressive cancer that affects one in a million people.

 

 

Emma Snape, 34, began to come down with traditional cold-like symptoms in February, which quickly escalated, landing her in hospital.

 

 

Doctors at first diagnosed pneumonia, a serious and sometimes life-threatening lung infection.

 

 

Yet further tests showed the underlying illness to be epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) — an extremely rare form of cancer than forms in the cells that line the blood vessels.
EHE is most commonly associated with young and middle-aged adults, and is more common in women.
One of the signs of EHE is a dry cough that causes difficulty breathing.

Other symptoms include a lump or swelling in the soft tissue of the body under the skin, and stomach pain along with weight loss if the disease is present in the liver.

When Emma was diagnosed, doctors found 20 nodules in her lungs and more in her omentum — the fatty tissue extends from the stomach to the intestines.

Doctors said her disease was terminal. Only half of those diagnosed with the condition will live longer than five years, studies show.

Emma has since been in and out of hospital for dozens of appointments and treatments.

Speaking of the ordeal, Emma’s twin sister Kym, a mother of two, said: ‘[It’s been] heartbreaking to watch her go through this.
It’s technically a terminal diagnosis as there’s no cure for it. It’s been the hardest year.

‘With her being my twin, it’s been so hard for me not being able to control this situation and make her better as she is literally my other half.’
Emma, also a mother of two, described her sister as ‘the real superwoman’, referring to her unwavering help in her time of need.

‘I don’t know what I’d have done without Kym,’ she said. ‘From day one after getting my diagnosis she’s been full into research, fundraising, gathering all sorts of different contacts to help me, whilst having her own young family to care for.

‘It’s been so wonderfully overwhelming how generous and kind people have been. Everyone just wants to help, my work, small businesses, family and friends.
People really have come together for me.’

Kym addded that that some days her sister suffers ‘agonising pain’ due to her condition.

‘She’s fighting against this disease every day whilst remaining the world’s best mummy to her two boys and partner.’

Kym has set up a donation page to raise money for the EHE Rare Cancer Charity (EHERCC), which is working hard to find a cure.

She has so far garnered over £6,000 from big-hearted locals and will take on a sponsored run in November to help pull in further cash.
Kym, said: ‘I have taken control in the only way possible which is to learn about this disease and to raise money for critical research to take place in the hope of finding a cure.’

Zendaya has appeared to debunk pregnancy rumors which went viral on social media.

 

The “Spider-Man: No Way Home” actor posted an Instagram Story on June 15, which said, “See now, this is why I stay off Twitter… Just making stuff up for no reason… weekly.”

It followed rumors that Zendaya was pregnant spreading on Twitter, where a TikTok falsely claiming she’d announced a pregnancy began to circulate. Users appeared to believe the hoax, despite it originally being posted as part of a viral TikTok prank called the “Krissed” trend, where people make false claims about celebrities to bait people into watching a clip of Kris Jenner dancing to “Lady Marmalade.”

On June 13, a user called Ryan Roberts posted a TikTok showing a picture of an ultrasound that looked like a screenshot from Instagram, with Zendaya’s Instagram handle above it.

On Zendaya’s Instagram profile, there is no picture that matches the screenshot in the TikTok.

The 12-second video then cut to a 2011 clip of Kris Jenner dancing and lipsyncing to the “Moulin Rouge” song, with an on-screen caption reading, “You just got Krissed.”

The word “krissed” was used as a synonym for pranked in the video caption, which went on to say, “Send this to your friends to absolutely #kris them.”

Similar videos have gone viral over the past week, and 11,000 TikToks have been posted on the platform with the hashtag “#krissed,” as part of the prank.

Commenters under the original TikTok largely recognized that the pregnancy claims weren’t true, with top comments saying, “I didn’t fall for this one,” and “Nope I was actually prepared this time.”

The TikTok user who posted the video did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment.

On Twitter, users appeared to believe the pregnancy was real
Shortly after the TikTok was posted, a rumor that Zendaya was pregnant began to spread on Twitter.

The topic “Zendaya pregnant,” was trending on the platform on June 15, with some people suggesting they were shocked or sad to hear the news, and top liked tweets under the hashtag, “#ZendayaPregnant” have hundreds of thousands of likes each on the platform.

Some users recognized that the rumors originated from the “Krissed” trend and were part of a prank, urging users not to believe the claims.

Zendaya’s personal life has frequently been the topic of speculation on social media

Zendaya and her boyfriend Tom Holland have tried to keep their relationship out of the public eye as much as possible. However, last year, Holland told People that he wanted to “take a break and focus on starting a family.”

He added: “I love kids. I can’t wait to be a dad — I can wait and I will, but I can’t wait!”

In February, Holland also shut down reports that he had purchased a home in London, England with Zendaya.

The two Marvel stars were first linked after starring in the “Spider-Man” Marvel Cinematic Universe trilogy together. Last year, dating rumors surfaced after they were photographed kissing in a car.

Holland later told GQ that he and Zendaya felt “robbed” of their privacy by the photograph.

“One of the downsides of our fame is that privacy isn’t really in our control anymore, and a moment that you think is between two people that love each other very much is now a moment that is shared with the entire world,” Holland said.

Representatives for Zendaya did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment
