About Me

My name is Jenny and this is my blog. My life was changed forever on the fateful day of 31st March 2004, the day I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I know that there are so many people who are touched by cancer, I am not rich I cannot find a cure but I can knit... So I decided I would like to try and knit the longest pink scarf in the world. I started the Jenny Chant Appeal to help with education and support for sufferers and their families. Since the inception so many things have happened. One thing that I was not prepared for was being diagnosed with cancer for the 3rd time. In August 2008 I was told that I had lip cancer and that I needed to have life saving surgery in case it spread to the lymph nodes in my neck. I am not a vain person but when I saw the scar it made me weep... I now could not hide from my brushes with death. On to my final words of wisdom: my only advice to men and women is always go for check-ups regularly (and inspect yourself), never lose faith and always try to be positive. Jenny

September 4th 2010

Hi everyone,

I am back in the land of the living at long last. I was diagnosed with throat cancer and had to undergo a lot of  trearment, the side effects were terrible. I had radiotherepy and chemo which really took its toll on me. I am feeling a lot better since the treatment has stopped, but still have a long way to go to get back to my old self.

I am a positive person so I am sure It wont take to long, with my faith and the support of my children I am half way there already. I also have my knitting which has really helped to keep me busy. If you would like to help with my appeal, please go to my website. http://www.jennychant.co.uk/.

Have a great weekend.

Love,

Jenny.xxx
