NEED TO KNOW<\/p>\n

Amy Carroll discovered her breast cancer during cosmetic surgery after breastfeeding her third child<\/p>\n

After being told she couldn\u2019t have more children, the tattoo model became pregnant with a \u201cmiracle\u201d baby in December 2025<\/p>\n

Months later, Carroll was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer and will undergo an emergency C-section to start chemotherapy<\/p>\n

After surviving breast cancer, a mom has now been diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer.<\/p>\n

In 2021, Amy Carroll \u2014 a 34-year-old tattoo model from Northamptonshire, England \u2014 was diagnosed with breast cancer. She discovered the disease when getting cosmetic surgery after finishing breastfeeding her third son.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had my boys quite young and my boobs looked different, so I went and had breast surgery,\u201d she told Southwest News Service<\/a>. \u201cThat was when I noticed the little lump that turned out to be breast cancer. I ended up having chemotherapy, radiotherapy and eight different surgeries.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m past the point of caring what my boobs look like now but that cosmetic surgery saved my life as I wouldn\u2019t have known I had cancer then,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

After overcoming breast cancer, Carroll thought she was in the clear. But due to the intense chemotherapy, she was told that she would not be able to have any more children. She was a mom to three boys, ages 8, 12 and 18.<\/p>\n

However, in December 2025, she was thrilled to learn that she was pregnant with her fourth child.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter my breast cancer treatment, I was told I could never have kids so this baby is a miracle,\u201d she said. \u201cWe found out over Christmas and the baby was due on my birthday, which felt extra special.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shortly after becoming pregnant, Carroll started feeling sick. Doctors diagnosed her with gestational diabetes, a type of high blood sugar that develops during pregnancy in people who do not already have diabetes. It\u2019s fairly common, but she had not experienced it with her first three pregnancies.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was feeling a bit dizzy and faint but thought it was a side effect of the diabetes and tried to shake it off,\u201d she recalled.<\/p>\n

Carroll\u2019s symptoms ultimately progressed. On June 17, she was in bed around 3 a.m. when she suffered a seizure next to her partner Torrin Sirus, 36.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy partner woke up to me having a seizure and an ambulance rushed me to hospital, I don\u2019t remember any of that,\u201d she admitted.<\/p>\n

At the hospital, Carroll underwent a CT scan and MRI. Two days later, doctors told her that she had stage 4 brain cancer after seven tumors were discovered.<\/p>\n

The diagnosis was devastating for her and her family, but Carroll had no time to process it. Doctors told her that she needs to give birth immediately so that she can start treatment.<\/p>\n

She is expected to undergo an emergency C-section on July 6 at 31 weeks and begin radiation and chemotherapy the following week.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey said babies at this age should recover well and the doctors have been very reassuring,\u201d she told the outlet. \u201cWe have decided to name him Arlo Atlas Sirus.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I start treatment, I won\u2019t be able to be with the baby all the time which is going to break me, I\u2019ve got to see how I am after each treatment.,\u201d she continued. \u201cWhen I do have chemotherapy, I won\u2019t be able to touch him at all, which will be so hard.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carroll admitted that she\u2019s worried about the possible side effects from her upcoming treatment plan, and she can\u2019t help but think about the \u201cworst case scenario.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are so many potential complications after these surgeries, including memory loss, balance issues, loss of eyesight, inability to talk,\u201d she said. \u201cI just don\u2019t want to forget my life and my kids, I just don\u2019t want to lose that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the journey ahead, Carroll is hoping for a good outcome and recognizes that her situation could\u2019ve been worse.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis pregnancy saved my life because I didn\u2019t realize I was ill,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
