I was diagnosed with cancer on my 31st birthday. At first, I was shocked, but then I started to think about my family. My husband and I have only been married a short time and I knew I wanted to celebrate many more anniversaries with him. We also have a 5-year-old daughter who has so many things to experience that I want to be a part of.

Discovering cancer early many times allows for more treatment options. Some cancers have symptoms that are noticeable, and others do not. It’s very rare that an MRI of a soft tissue mass will be concerning, and that you’ll be referred to a specialist for treatment and evaluation. However, some sarcomas go unrecognized and are only diagnosed after an unintended excision.

Starting A Non Profit After A Life Changing Event

Jenn Andrews was a health and wellness coach when, getting a pedicure, had her life change forever.
