My Story, My Holidays
Diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia at age 19, this is Jen’s story. After noticing unusual symptoms whilst studying at university, Jen made a visit to her GP and after a misdiagnosis of a chest infection, was diagnosed with cancer in February 2007. Amongst fun filled frolics on the beach accompanied by friends, Jen explains what it was like after she was first diagnosed, talking us through the treatment she received and her initial reaction to the situation. It’s holiday fever as we get a peek at footage from Jen’s family cruise trip…where dancing sailors are on the menu!
