Babies Camila and Nico were born at 33 weeks but are healthy; a friend says Jamie got to hold them before she died
A mother who beat cancer during her pregnancy with twins gave birth to them only to die a day later from heart failure.
Courageous Jamie Snider, 30, of Fresno, California, had treatment and chemotherapy for a rare, aggressive form of cervical cancer throughout her pregnancy with twins, according to ABC 7.
But after having a C-section and radical hysterectomy on March 16, Snider passed away the next morning after her heart failed.
Snider had already beaten the cancer once, losing an ovary in the process. But she was then surprised and delighted to find herself pregnant with twins.
Already mom to two young daughters, Aubrey and Maddie, Snider was prepared to kick cancer’s butt once more.

She had intensive treatment at the Stanford Medical Center throughout the pregnancy. The cancer went into remission once more.
