Only 25-year-old artist Molly Jenner was fit and healthy until she collapsed at home in April. Until then, she had no idea that her a huge, 10-centimeter tumor is growing in his chest caused by blood cancer (lymphoma). She completely underestimated the first symptoms, she writes
Six weeks before the devastating news, she had been suffering from a cough, but she thought it was just a virus from work. “She had so much love in her. She brightened the lives of everyone she met. This was her first health problem in her life. Until then, she did not need a single prescription for medicine. I’m heartbroken, the circumstances kill me every time I think about it” described her fiancee Lily.
Molly’s condition took a rapid turn for the worse in early April when she collapsed and was rushed to the hospital by ambulance. An X-ray revealed a massive finding. Because of a huge tumor she couldn’t even lie down because he was pressing on her lungs and she was coughing uncontrollably. She learned of the diagnosis on May 21.
“She took the news bravely. At first she cried in my arms. But as we got the emotions out, we started planning how she was going to beat the cancer. She was determined and didn’t want to give up.” says the fiancee.
Molly was supposed to start treatment on June 1st. However, fate intervened the cruelest blow. She died just 10 days after the diagnosis, May 31st, to be exact the day before the planned chemotherapy. They had huge plans with their partner, they wanted to travel to Finland for work and adventure. “I felt she was the only person I could talk to about everything and who really understood me,” adds Lily.
Moreover, Molly was the only one in the household she was struggling financially. This left Lily devastated and had to start a fundraiser to survive and bury the love of her life. “I’m overwhelmed by the support I’ve received. It shows how many lives Molly lit up, she was loved by all.” concludes the broken musician.
