I wanted to prove that I can do this \u2014 that I can get out there and be me, the person I am even after cancer,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>That brand of determination is what carried Jann through an unbelievably difficult year that included a cancer diagnosis and the loss of both her parents.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Enduring the Unexpected <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In October 2022, at age 62, Jann, a biologist turned kindergarten teacher, was diagnosed with uterine cancer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was totally shocked. It really seemed to come out of nowhere,\u201d she said. \u201cWe had other types of illnesses in our family but no history of cancer at all. In fact, I didn\u2019t even really know many people who had cancer at that time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The weeks that followed were incredibly stressful for Jann and her husband, who were empty nesters and both still working at the time. Just one week after her diagnosis, and even before she had shared the news, Jann\u2019s mother passed away unexpectedly. Along with planning her funeral, her family also had to quickly arrange care for her aging father, who also ended up passing away later that year.<\/p>\n<p>Forced to put cancer on the back burner, it would be three months before Jann began treatment, starting with a hysterectomy in January and followed by several rounds of chemotherapy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a very difficult year for us, but in a way, I was so fortunate too. I have a wonderful husband and an amazing network of friends. My husband retired when I started chemotherapy, and he came with me to every appointment. My sister and I were born 10 months apart, and even though she lives in Nicaragua, we are close; we talk every day,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd then there\u2019s Wellspring. More and more over time, I\u2019ve come to appreciate having this important resource and such a wonderful community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Discovering Wellspring Alberta<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jann first heard about Wellspring through a friend who is a psychologist and encouraged her to explore the psychosocial supports available to her. On her first visit to Carma House, it was after her surgery, and she arrived alone and apprehensive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cComing to Wellspring that first time can be really hard and scary too,\u201d she said. \u201cI think because it\u2019s you acknowledging that you really have cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Welcomed by a staff member, she recalls weeping as she told her story and finding comfort in the message that she is not alone \u2026 others have walked a similar path.<\/p>\n<p>After that, she returned with Mark, and together they became Wellspring members. At first, Jann felt too unwell from chemotherapy to participate in programs, but once her strength returned, she began exploring things that interested her, including <a href=\"https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/alberta\/program\/yoga\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">yoga<\/a>, dance, <a href=\"https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/alberta\/program\/gentle-movement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">qigong<\/a> and eventually <a href=\"https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/alberta\/program\/music\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ukulele<\/a> \u2013 her favourite combination of music and community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love it; it really brings me joy. At Wellspring, there\u2019s an underlying understanding; a sort of \u2018Uh huh, I get it.\u2019 No need to explain,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd actually, a lot of people in my ukulele class are way past cancer; some had it decades ago, and they\u2019re doing great. From my perspective, that\u2019s very encouraging.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These days, Jann feels totally at home at Wellspring, so much so that when someone new joins a program she\u2019s in, she finds herself compelled to take them under her wing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne thing I can do that I really feel good about is helping others. To show them that Wellspring is a safe place to land. To say, \u2018Hey, it\u2019s okay. I\u2019ve got a spot for you here\u2019,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Scientist\u2019s Perspective<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With her background in biology, Jann approached her diagnosis with the curiosity of a scientist. She read every report, studied statistics and worked to understand the science behind her disease.<\/p>\n<p>That curiosity eventually led her to genetic testing, where she discovered that she carries Lynch Syndrome \u2013 an inherited condition that increases the risk of several cancers, including colorectal, endometrial, ovarian, and other cancers.<\/p>\n<p>Although Jann\u2019s mother had already passed away, doctors were able to test her father and discovered that he also carried the condition. However, at age 89, he had never developed cancer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI understand that not everyone would choose to learn this kind of genetic information, but I wanted to do it because I have two kids and I think it\u2019s important to know for their sake,\u201d she said, pointing out that if her kids are carriers of Lynch, it could benefit them to have earlier and more extensive screening in their lifetime.<\/p>\n<p>She also feels hopeful that research offers promise for the future, noting that early clinical trials are exploring vaccines that could help prevent cancers associated with Lynch Syndrome.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ticket to Ride<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cycling has long been part of Jann and Mark\u2019s life together; even during treatment, they continued to ride whenever she felt strong enough. So, joining the Cancervive ride in 2023 along with their niece and her husband felt like a reasonable target.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15684\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15684\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-15684\" title=\"Jann and Mark Cancervive 2025\" src=\"https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/alberta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2026\/06\/Jann-and-Mark-Cancervive-2025-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Jann and Mark Cancervive 2025\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/alberta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2026\/06\/Jann-and-Mark-Cancervive-2025-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/alberta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2026\/06\/Jann-and-Mark-Cancervive-2025.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15684\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jann and Mark Cancervive 2025<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cDoing the ride felt normal. It felt positive. It felt empowering,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>They also participated in Cancervive in 2025, and barring knee surgery getting in the way, they plan to raise funds and ride again this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy motive for doing the event is a combination of proving I can do it and wanting to give back to a like-minded community that I feel blessed to be a part of,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Moving Forward<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Today, Jann is carefully monitored with scans every six months. Cancer, she says, will always be part of her story, but she doesn\u2019t let it get in the way of living her best life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI tell my husband, cancer just sits right here on my shoulder. I acknowledge it, it\u2019s there, and then I keep on moving forward,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>And having crossed many barriers, she doesn\u2019t hesitate to reach back to give a hand up to others \u2026 happy to answer questions, share what she\u2019s learned, and encourage anyone who is just beginning their own cancer journey.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think one of the most important things cancer teaches you is that you don\u2019t put things off. If you really want to do something, you don\u2019t say \u2018I\u2019ll get to it five years from now \u2019\u2014you do it now. Whatever it takes; you find a way,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15685\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15685\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-15685\" title=\"Jann and Mark Machu Picchu\" src=\"https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/alberta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2026\/06\/Jann-and-Mark-Machu-Picchu-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Jann and Mark Machu Picchu\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/alberta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2026\/06\/Jann-and-Mark-Machu-Picchu-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/wellspring.ca\/alberta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2026\/06\/Jann-and-Mark-Machu-Picchu.jpg 481w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15685\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jann and Mark at Machu Picchu<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Safe Landing at Wellspring In 2023, just weeks after finishing chemotherapy, Jann put on her bike helmet, lined up beside her husband Mark, and rode 25 kilometres in the Cancervive ride for Wellspring Alberta. \u201cIt was a way to challenge myself.
