Related 'The Little Couple' Daughter Introduced to the World 'Little Couple' Star Jen Arnold in Remission After Chemotherapy "The Little Couple" star Jen Arnold is finally back at work after battling a rare form of cancer that is now in remission. Jen is feeling well enough to travel to San Francisco with husband Bill and children Zoey and Will in order to deliver a keynote address at a conference. Jen even feels well enough to take daughter Zoey on her first shopping trip just two weeks after finishing chemotherapy. It's a whole new adventure for the mother of two, who has lived with son Will and husband Bill and has not had the experience of having a girl to run around with and shop for. "We haven't taken her to many stores since we brought her home because we've been on lockdown," Jen told the cameras as they captured the shopping extravaganza. "So I think she was just having a blast, checking it all out. I've definitely found my shopping partner in crime." "While Jen has experience fatigue since completing chemotherapy, I believe having the opportunity to go shopping is a good sign that she on the way back to being her," Bill told "Today" via email. "For a change, this husband won't be complaining when she heads to the mall. Jen finally has a shopping companion she can take to the store on a weekend and have fun trying things on." The couple struggled with infertility before adopting son Will. It was a fairly smooth transition to bring him home, but during the trip to pick up daughter Zoey, Jen became quite ill. It was then that she was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and began her treatment. Jen struggled with the decision to leave so early after meeting Zoey, but the family has made it through grueling cancer treatments and is now starting to experience life as a family of four.

Pancreatic cancer occurs when cells in the pancreas grow out of control. This kind of cancer usually spreads fast. Patients usually live less than one year, even if the cancer is caught early. What increases the risk of getting it? A history of pancreatitis (swelling of the pancreas), having a close family member with pancreatic cancer, certain rare genetic conditions, and tobacco and alcohol use all increase your chances of getting pancreatic cancer. What are the symptoms? You usually do not have symptoms until the cancer is already advanced. Symptoms of advanced cancer include losing weight without meaning to, stomach or back pain, yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes (called jaundice), loss of appetite, and depression. Because these symptoms can also be caused by other diseases, you should see your doctor if you are worried. He or she may suggest other tests to figure out the cause of your symptoms. How is it diagnosed?

Pancreatic Cancer - American Family Physician

She was diagnosed with Leukemia in 2001 and graduated in 2012 from the University of Washington with a degree in communications. Houck now works for Cancer for College as director of special projects. (Special to CNN) -- The nonprofit Cancer for College not only provided me with a college scholarship, but it also showed me that goals can be accomplished regardless of adversity. Going to a good college was always high on my agenda. I was in the third grade when I received my first all A's report card. Little did I know receiving grades like this was about to get a whole lot harder, in fact nearly impossible. That summer I was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. For the next two years my brain would be pummeled with doses of chemotherapy, which would forever change my memory and cognitive ability. Completing my education was one of the hardest and most tumultuous experiences of my life. Between missing two of the most crucial years of school as well as having my brain fried with chemo, just remembering my locker number became a challenge. Yet even though my ability to learn had changed, I always believed that if I worked hard enough I would overcome these setbacks and reach my goal of a college education. In winter 2009 I was officially accepted to the University of Washington. This was not only a monumental moment for me, but for my parents as well, for every time I had a setback in the classroom they had to watch me struggle through it. My acceptance letter could have been bittersweet. Having a child with cancer not only took a toll on my family mentally, but also financially.
