Jenna W.

jenna1Jenna Susana Westerholm was born on July 2, 2003. On January 23, 2006 we noticed a small vaginal growth. After an attempted surgery to remove the growth, CT scans, bone tests, etc., we found out on February 8th that the growth was embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, a soft tissue cancer.  

 Immediately Jenna started chemotherapy, mostly outpatient, for about eleven months. She was declared cancer free, but relapsed by her first three month check-up. Her surgeon tried again to remove the tumor, but the margins were not clear. This time Jenna had stronger chemo, all inpatient, staying in the hospital for three to five days.

angie aOur Journey
Our journey began when we first set our eyes on each other
It took our many pathways crossing before we started dating
As I struggled with commitment you put my mind at ease
We got married after we knew we were meant to be
As our travels took us near and afar
It was always good times no matter where we were
Now any destination was perfect since we were together
Life just kept getting better and better
