Share Your Story: Kenn Edwards

Kenn Edwards lives in rural Utah with his father. Kenn was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma in October 2020. To remove the cancer, Kenn had twenty percent of his tongue removed as well as lymph nodes in his neck. Approximately three months later Kenn's father was diagnosed with melanoma.
