Initially experiencing rib pain and shortness of breath, she underwent chemotherapy, procedures, and various medications to overcome the disease.

Unfortunately, cancer metastasised to her brain and lymph nodes, advancing to stage 4, and doctors delivered the heartbreaking news that she had less than a year to live.

Breaking the news to their young kids

With their children, Ellis, seven, and Winnie, three, to consider, Jenny and Kyle faced the difficult task of explaining the situation to their young ones.

In a video titled "We Told The Kids I'm Dying," the couple captured the heart-wrenching moment as their children reacted to the news.

“We talked about how the cancer is getting bigger and stronger, finding more places to go and hide to where we can’t get it and they both started breaking down instantly,” Kyle stated, adding that the conversation made him “sick to my stomach.”

Throughout their ordeal, the couple chose to share their journey on YouTube, vlogging Jenny's battle with cancer and providing updates for their channel's 105,000 subscribers.
