JANELLE BRUNTON-RENNIE TELLS MONIQUE MCKENZIE HOW EXERCISE BECAME HER STRENGTH AND SOLACE AFTER LOSING HER HUSBAND TO CANCER
On January 10 last year, Janelle Brunton-Rennie and her husband Kurt celebrated their third wedding anniversary. Their little girl, Sage, had just turned four months old, and Janelle was looking forward to a wonderful year ahead.
The following day, Kurt came out of the shower, prodded his stomach where his spleen was, and asked, “Do you think this feels a little bit hard?” Janelle casually replied, “Yeah, you should get that looked at,” thought nothing of it, and went off to work.
That afternoon she got a call from Kurt, who had gone to see his doctor, and was heading down the road for an ultrasound. From there, things rapidly unraveled. After a CT scan on Friday, the couple got a call to go to the doctor’s and get the results on Saturday evening. “The doctor was mucking around and I looked him square in the eye and said, ‘Just tell us. Does my husband have cancer or not?’ He looked at us and said, ‘Yes, your husband has lymphoma and it’s very progressed,’” the 36-year-old says.
