For Jenna, hearing the word cancer felt like an abrupt stop in the flow of daily life—a moment that disrupted everything and forced her to confront her own vulnerability.
While out on a hike, she received the shocking news she never saw coming.
“I checked the portal on the hike, and that’s when I saw words like ‘invasive,’ ‘ductal,’ ‘carcinoma,’ ‘malignant,’” she said. “And I was like, ‘Those words sound like cancer words.’” She added, “I think the word that really got me was when we found out that I was triple-positive, and my oncologist said chemotherapy. That was when I really lost it.”
That’s when she was diagnosed with stage one, triple-positive breast cancer. The sheer weight of the word cancer carried with it a whirlwind of questions: How serious is it? Will I survive? How will this affect my family?
Instead of being paralyzed in fear, Jenna used her popularity to raise awareness about breast cancer. She shared her journey online after she learned what kind of cancer she had and what the healing journey would look like.
“I knew I would be having surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and then targeted therapies,” she said. One year later, she shares she still has the port in her chest where she received chemotherapy.
The most emotional part of her journey was sharing the experience with her two kids and husband. Some days, the most she could do was make it downstairs to have breakfast with her kids while her husband made the school lunches.
