An Upstate New York mom is fighting for her life after she was diagnosed with a rare pregnancy-related cancer following the premature birth of her twins daughters.
Jenna Hinman, 26, was rushed to hospital on March 3 when all of a sudden she couldn't breathe and her husband, US Army Sgt. Brandon Hinman, called 911.
Doctors quickly decided she needed an emergency C-section to deliver the girls, Kinleigh and Azlynn, who were nine weeks early and weighed just 3 pounds each.
Because of their health, Jenna was able to get just a quick glimpse of her newborns before they were whisked away to NICU at Crouse Hospital in Syracuse where they'd all been transferred. But that was the only time she saw them.
Soon after delivery, the young mom began coughing up blood and her breathing troubles got worse.
Doctors initially thought she had pneumonia, but she was later diagnosed with a rare cancer called choriocarcinoma, which has filled her body with tumors and lesions.
On March 6, she was placed in a medically induced coma and Brandon, who is based at Fort Drum, is supporting her tirelessly as a team of local and international doctors try to save her life. more
