35-Year-Old Celebrity Makeup Artist's Tragic Death: The Common Symptom You Should NEVER Ignore

Disclaimer: This article discusses distressing topics about death. Reader discretion is advised.

The untimely passing of 35-year-old celebrity makeup artist Anca Molnar has left a community in mourning and serves as a stark reminder of the importance of paying attention to our health. Anca, hailing from Timișoara, Romania, succumbed to brain cancer after initially dismissing a symptom that many of us might overlook: persistent headaches.

Anca's journey, which she bravely shared with her 630,000 TikTok followers, began over a year ago when she started experiencing frequent headaches. Her close friend Alina Radi revealed that Anca, like many of us, didn't give much thought to the headaches at first. It's a common tendency to attribute such pains to stress or fatigue, but in Anca's case, they were a warning sign of a brain tumour.


It wasn't until the headaches intensified, disrupting her daily life, that Anca sought medical advice. By then, the tumour had progressed to a stage where Romanian doctors felt limited in their ability to treat her. Undeterred, Anca travelled to Turkey for oncological treatment, where she underwent two brain surgeries and multiple rounds of radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

Her resilience was evident as she documented her treatment on social media, sharing a glimpse into her reality with a message of hope and determination. 'Today I had my first radio oncology and chemotherapy session,' she posted, alongside a video of her treatment.


Despite a brief period of remission after her first surgery, a second tumour was discovered, necessitating another operation. Throughout her ordeal, Anca's husband, Claudiu, stood by her side, a pillar of support she gratefully acknowledged in her final weeks.

In a poignant farewell message to her followers, Anca wrote, 'I came, lived beautifully and left for another world. I fought as best I knew how and with all my strength... Until the last drop of HOPE.' She encouraged her followers to live fully and promised to watch over them from among the stars.

Anca's story is a heart-wrenching reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of not dismissing what may seem like minor health issues. Headaches, particularly those that are persistent or severe, can be a symptom of a brain tumour and should be taken seriously. It's crucial to seek medical attention if you experience such symptoms, as early detection can significantly impact treatment outcomes.


As we reflect on Anca's courageous battle, let's consider our own health and the signals our bodies send us. It's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life, but nothing is more important than our well-being. Anca's legacy is not only her artistic talent but also the vital message she leaves behind: listen to your body and act promptly on health concerns.

A neighbours daughter was told she had haemorrhoids. That was in November 2008 , she was 29.
It got worst quickly and became very painful to even sit down.

Between November 2008 to Jan 2009 she had gone to 5 doctors. The 5th doctor put her in hospital and ran test . The outcome was she had advanced bowel cancer. Apparently it spreads quickly in young people.
By April she couldn't walk . I would see her mum taking her for a walk pushing her in a wheelchair with an oxygen tank attached.
This neighbour lived directly across from me.
She was sitting on the verandah enjoying the sun when my eldest son dropped in. He saw her and went and sat with her ( they grew up together her brother was my sons best friend)
She told him she never expected it, she told him not to leave symptoms unchecked and push for answers , test ect.

This was devastating on the family, her mum blamed herself , she thought it was the food she fed them.

She passed away on the 26th April 2009 at the age of 29.
I woke at 6.30 that morning to the screaming I never want to hear again. Her mother's pain.

That was one of the saddest funerals I have been too .

Never be afraid to ask your doctors questions and don't be afraid to get second and third opions . Doctors do get it wrong
