Love with a Twist of Cancer
Everyone Needs a Larry
This isn’t your average relationship story. It isn’t your average story of cancer either. It’s a quirky, comedic, and brave tale about two people creating a life together through the ups and downs of a stage IV cancer diagnosis.
You’ll be reading a powerful story about how husband and wife, dynamic duo, Jenn and Larry, used their diagnosis to forge deeper bonds with one another, while coming out on the other side, cancer-free, and stronger than ever.
Inside, you’ll discover how to:
Turn a hardship into a lesson of appreciation through love, gratitude, and a positive mindset.
Emerge from difficult experiences with a stronger and more compassionate relationship to self and loved ones.
Maintain humor even in the grimmest hours.
Cultivate patience while you’re a patient...and a caregiver.
Trust your instincts—even if they’re sometimes wrong—and learn as you go.
Become a better person through embracing and walking through discomfort.
Navigate the ins and outs of going through a cancer diagnosis.
Develop more awareness and understanding on how thoughts create reality, and learn how to choose the thoughts you wish to believe.
Every relationship has its ups and downs, but turning those challenges into moments for closeness, bonding, and humor can help you evolve into a stronger couple!

Hi, We’re Jenn & Larry
Our relationship was by no means ordinary. Not long after we got together, Jenn discovered a lump under her arm that turned out to be stage IV triple-negative breast cancer. The diagnosis was difficult to say the least, but as a couple, we were able to transform through it and strengthen our bond while beating the disease..
Jennifer Greenhut Tollin turned her stage IV breast cancer diagnosis into an inspiring, uplifting story. The lessons she learned led her to create Zero Negative, which promotes love and positivity through accessories. A portion of the company’s profits is donated to UCLA’s Jonsson Cancer Center Foundation to support cancer research. Jennifer's story and products have been featured on Extra Tonight, Good Morning LaLa Land, the Hallmark Channel, Ventura Blvd Magazine, and in various podcasts. In addition, she was honored by UCLA Health and the Lakers in their Laker For A Day program, sharing her story at a Lakers Game. She was a US National Gymnastics Team member and an actress, singer, songwriter, and yoga teacher. Jennifer lives in Southern California with her husband, Larry, and their dog, Bo.
Larry Tollin has had a successful and diverse career in the entertainment industry. Over a 30-year span, he's offered marketing, promotion, and management of personal and business affairs for some of the music industry's most successful talents, including Luther Vandross, Paula Abdul, and Savage Garden. He learned from his clients that every individual has different needs, and each problem requires a unique creative solution. He now offers that same business acumen, knowledge, and experience to all people who may benefit from life management services. His latest yet most rewarding "client" is his wife, Jenn. Acting as a caregiver through her cancer journey, Larry learned new knowledge about caregiving, the healthcare system, and insurance, and leverages this knowledge in his new business, The Best You. His new endeavor specializes in offering personal and financial guidance to those going through a difficult transition in their lives, such as sickness, death, divorce or other significant life changes. He lives in Southern California with his wife, Jennifer, and their dog, Bo.
