An 18-year-old influencer, Isabela Veloso, who was recently given months to live after being diagnosed with terminal cancer, has welcomed a baby boy.

Isabela gave birth to her son, Arthur, on December 29. At just 32 weeks pregnant, she went into labor after doctors informed her that her condition required an early delivery.  

Her husband, Lucas Barbosa, 27, kept everyone updated throughout the process. He was by her side until Isabela was taken to the delivery room around 5:06 PM.

Isabela’s battle with cancer began at the age of 15 when she was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma, a rare type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system, which is crucial for the body’s immune defenses. She underwent a bone marrow transplant and several rounds of chemotherapy.  

Tragically, just three months after the procedure, her cancer returned more aggressively, ultimately leading to her terminal diagnosis.

Announcing the news, she wrote: ‘Being your mom made me discover a strength I didn’t know before, and mommy is here ❤️Eu e o papai te amamos, nosso toquinho 💙
