A Utah man who fights crime for a living now finds himself fighting for his own life after an unexpected medical diagnosis.
“I’ve done hard things before, so I expect this to be just another hard thing that’s standing in my way,” shared Jared Jensen.
Don’t tell the 35-year-old Jensen that life as he knew it is over after being diagnosed with Stage 4 brain cancer early last month. The Kaysville police officer has come a long way since first being admitted to the University of Utah Medical Center.
And since the beginning of the rehab process, Jensen’s progress has been nothing short of remarkable.
“I’ve been here 12 days-ish, and 12 days ago, couldn’t walk couldn’t talk, couldn’t do anything,” he explained.
Despite Jensen’s progress, it hasn’t been all smooth sailing for the father of two, his wife, Camille, sharing, admitting that at one point she thought she lost her husband.
“He had two surgeries, he didn’t wake up for about a week after the second surgery and I think I’ve really learned not to take a day for granted,” said Camille.
