Genna lives in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Her story began in her early twenties when she was a university student. In December 2023, Genna underwent an adrenalectomy at The Ottawa Hospital to remove the pheochromocytoma. While the tumor was gone, her energy levels had not been restored. Her remaining adrenal gland does not produce sufficient cortisol, leaving her adrenal insufficient. Genna’s journey is not over. She is now receiving care at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in Toronto, where testing and surveillance continue. This chapter may not yet be closed, but Genna is determined to keep fighting for the care and understanding she deserves, that we all deserve.
