Tragedy as Camila Trevisol, rodeo queen influencer, dies of rare cancer at just 22
An influencer known for appearing at rodeos across Brazil has tragically died from a rare form of bone cancer at age 22.
Camila Trevisol passed away last week, just hours after posting a heartbreaking photo of herself on Instagram telling her followers it would be the last time they would see her conscious.
The model acknowledged that she was in pain and having difficulty breathing and preferred to be sedated.
'She couldn't take it anymore and asked to be sedated,' her mother Patricia wrote in a post on her daughter's account.
'She already has been sedated so she won't suffer any more and can await God's will.
Trevisol was first diagnosed with cancer in 2016 when a tumor was detected in her femur following a doctor's visit to treat leg pain after being struck by a soccer ball.
She underwent chemotherapy and was cancer free by 2017.
But in 2023, she was diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma, an aggressive form of the illness that attacks the bone tissue.
Trevisol was recognized in 2024 when the organizers of the annual Americana Rodeo Festival in American, São Paulo crowned her 'Inspirational Queen' to honor her for battling the disease.
She was honored again at the 2025 edition of the rodeo, held in May.
Hours after her death, the beauty queen's family published on social media posthumous letter that she had prepared for her friends and followers.
'I know it's not an easy time, but I wrote this and asked for it to be posted,' the letter read in Portuguese.
'Everyone who passed through my life left a moment that I will carry with me forever, so I am very grateful to everyone who took time out of their lives to enjoy it with me, follow me on Instagram, pray, talk and everything else.
'I have already fulfilled my role here on earth and I know that my role was to inspire and influence you about life, that you have to enjoy every moment regardless of what you are going through, life is only one and time is too precious not to appreciate each moment, so live and never give up, never think negatively, never give up.'
One of Trevisol's last wishes was that her Instagram account remain active so that everyone could 'always come in and remember how I was and everything I lived through.'
'I love you all and thank you very much for being with me in this life and for everyone who visited me,' she wrote.
'I want you to know that I am going in peace and my suffering is over, but do not think that it was because I did not have the strength and courage to fight, but because I was no longer able to suffer. God wanted me with him and I know that my legacy will always be. remembered…until next life I love you.'
Friends and strangers flocked to Trevisol's Instagram and flooded it with tributes.
Emily Stéfany recalled sharing the stage with Trevisol at the Americana Rodeo Festival and being crowned second queen.
'Our dream came true together, and living this dream by your side was so much better!' she wrote.
'It's shocking how evolved, strong, inspiring, courageous, and a thousand other good adjectives she was that I can't even mention!' another commenter wrote.
