Sophia is 15-year-old and terminally ill. Her last wish was to meet Ed Sheeran before she dies and her Instagram account shows her smiling in a heartwarming photo as her dream comes true!
Taking to Instagram to share her joy, the young Sophia says, “Omgmgmmmg it happened. I was reunited with my fave Ginger.”
She goes on to add, “Ed Sheeran you are truly amazing! I am so overly happy right now. This day has been Amazing and I never want it to end!!!”
Sophia, who was diagnosed in 2015 after doctors found a lump in her back, said the British singer is her 'favourite person in the whole world'.
Taking to Instagram the young girl also wrote, “His music has helped me so much throughout my journey.”
Sophia posted an emotional video to her Facebook earlier in the month, revealing her cancer had spread to her leg and no more medical treatments were available.
She was heard saying, “The cancer in my lung has cleared up which is great news but the cancer in my leg has started to spread.” The cancer began in Sophia's pelvis. Before the diagnosis, she was an avid soccer player and dancer.
The presence of osteosarcoma in the pelvis occurs in 1 in 25 million cases.
The video sees Sophia talk about her three wishes. She goes on to say, “For everyone asking what my wishes are, I have 3 very special ones. The first, as you all know is to travel the world and experience everything life has to offer.” She goes on to say, “But when I'm travelling I have a few more. The first, is to go on the Ellen show…My second wish is to meet Ed Sheeran again and have a private concert with him when he is performing at Wembley Stadium in London.”
Sophia it seems has already started on her dream and has visited Scotland, England, France and Singapore since the start of June. She met Ed Sheeran previously when she was undergoing treatment in 2015.
“I just want to enjoy every last moment I have here on this earth because life is too short, and life is unfair,” she said.
Sophia and her family left for the United States for 12 weeks in 2016, where Sophia underwent 39 rounds of proton radiation therapy.
Despite countless rounds of radiation, chemotherapy and surgery, doctors have been unable to shrink Sophia's cancer.
