When Jenna Cameron of Scotland was 10 years old, her liver doctors identified a rare and particularly violent type of cancer that threatened her life. As reported in The Mirror, following the alarming findings, Jenna underwent an emergency surgery in which three-quarters of her liver was removed. The surgical operation left Jenna (30) alive, and is now married and a mother of two - Arya Skai (5) and Ivy Rose (4).

But in 2018, it became clear that the deadly cancer had returned to attack her body, and her doctors announced that if she did not find an immediate donation of liver - Jenna's life was in danger. "I prepared my children for life without me because I knew what my chances were of living," Jenna reiterated.

But then hope returned from an unexpected but very close source. The doctors, who were searching for a heavy donation from a dead person, also decided to look for a living donor and it turned out that Jenna's mother, Susan Evans, 51, was a suitable donor. The mother immediately joined the donation, despite the risks of her life.

"Donate some of my liver to my daughter so she can live," Evans said. "Even if it means complaining and dying.

The Evans family, including Hannah, Jenna's sister, maintains optimism and hopes the transplant will end safely and the mother and daughter will successfully complete the complex procedure. Meanwhile, in Jenna's blood, cancerous cells have been found migrating from the liver and her doctors are helping her cleanse the blood and reduce the growth rate of the cells for surgery.

Now, Jenna is releasing a musical album called "Fearless" under her stage name, Cameron Jay, to raise funding for her care.
