Jen Arnold, one half of the TLC series The Little Couple has been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer.

Revealed Arnold to People, "I have recently been diagnosed with a rare type of cancer and am currently undergoing treatment, including surgery and chemotherapy."

"I am very fortunate as the prognosis is good. While there is never a good time to get news like this, getting it just as we are building our new family is tough in many ways ... But being surrounded by the love of my husband and our two beautiful children is actually in many ways giving me the strength to fight it even stronger."

There is no word on what type of cancer Jen has been diagnosed with, but either way her ordeal will be documented on the TLC reality show.

As a spokesperson explained, "TLC has chronicled Bill and Jen's lives since 2009 and at their request, we will be following them through this challenge. Jen is a doctor and teacher and she saw this as an opportunity to educate and possibly help, through sharing her story."
