I heard about Jenny from Kneady Homesteader's channel on RU-vid. I have only been watching Jenny's videos for 3 or 4 days. I didn't even hardly know Jenny. This video popped up and I thought I would come and meet Jenny. Prayers for you Kyle, just praying continually for you for strength to continue on and take care of your children and that you will stay well. Please make sure that you and your children are sleeping. Lack of sleep after a death can cause lots of problems and could be a sign that something is wrong. Once again prayers.
@@gigglesandhugs5690I watch all these videos but I don’t know how payment works for them. Do I just need to watch? Like? I would like to help out the family. I’m disabled and on a fixed income so donating isn’t an option, but if it helps for me to watch or rewatch videos I would love to help.
I see I’m not alone in wanting to see Jenny “at the beginning” and hear her sweet voice again. Kyle, I just watched your livestream an hour or so ago. I’m grateful that Jenny’s pain is controlled and that she’s able to sleep. I’m especially thankful that she’ll be able to come home. You are all very much in my thoughts and I’m praying for you daily. We love you all. ❤️🙏🏻
I am doing the exact same thing after watching Kyle's live stream. My heart hurts for them all. But, I can say from my personal experience with both of my parents' passing that a kind hospice nurse makes all the difference. I am so thankful they have found great hospice care willing to do what it takes to allow Jenny to be home. 💔
I just can't believe she's had to go through this. It's just horrible. Children are more resilient but her husband is going to go through hell. He really has no clue just how much he is going to miss her ...
The way our healthcare system functions is so incredibly unacceptable. She had to beg and cry at an urgent care months too late to get a test that she needed. How is this possible in a first world country? Imagine if they took her seriously at the onset of her symptoms. It is infuriating watching her go through what she's going through today, and I put the blame in large part on our terrible system. Not a guarantee, but the outcome could have been so different if they got to her earlier. Jenny and her husband are such good people, and it is so messed up this happened! People need to be strong advocates for themselves, and we need reform!!!
Our medical system has been taken over by big business. They have forced MDs to join large groups where they track everything and all that matters is the bottom line. MDs are just worker bees now. It is insane and sad. Appointments are weeks or months out. Emergency Care facilities are sometimes the only option. ER's are overrun with patients and under staffed. Things are not going to improve anytime soon.
I don‘t think it‘s the healthcare system. It has to do more with the fact that young people, especially women often aren‘t taken seriously by doctors. Lung cancer on someone so young is very rare and most doctors probably only see it few times in their careers if that. But still, if you have rib pain they should at least do chest x-rays. It‘s so infuriating.
So true. My son went to a family doctor for annual check up. The doctor told him no need to come back for a couple of years. I am so mad at this doctor. It wasn't easy to get my son to do an annual physical. I told my son to find another doctor who take him seriously.@@Andrea-ue7gv
I too went thu hell- a simple chest xray- which is protocal,- and I had to fight, beg, demand for 10 months- a simple chest xray showed I have lung cancer- the way I have been treated was so cruel- I seriously considered no treatment after the fact- just wrong to treat people this way on a systematic basis
No! Tragically it IS our healthcare system in the United States of America. It didn't used to be this way when I started working in healthcare back in 1971. Now, primary care docs' practices have been bought up by larger hospitals and are under pressure to see as many patients as possible. Appointments are waitlisted for months. Last time I checked the rating of medical care in the US was.listed as 45th in the world with the best care being in the Nordic countries and many other nations. It is a travesty!!! The countries rated as providing the highest quality of medical care were all socialized medicine. Look it up.
@@gailsfoodandstuffthat's amazing to hear something else worked and yes I have seen someone cancel free then died because of the chemotherapy. So very sad
It's so frustrating how medical gaslighting can happen for women so frequently. Rest in peace, Jenny, your channel will help so many people advocate for themselves when they know something is wrong.
This is why one has to advocate for themselves when they feel something is wrong. And keep pressing the issue until your medical problem is addressed. Unfortunately, just because someone is young does not necessarily make her or him immune to serious disease.
Her doc did blood work, chest X-ray & ultrasound. That's a thorough workup for a healthy 32 y/o woman. They order CT scans sparingly as it exposes the patient to a lot of radiation.
Looks like a lot of us are having the same idea come see Jenny in a more healthier state. God😢 idk what to even say. She has touched our hearts with her beautiful soul. You all are in so many of our prayers.
It looks like everyone came to the same place to see Jenny. I will miss seeing her beautiful face everyday. She is so sweet and has a comforting voice. She had such grace throughout this entire, sad, painful journey. Even after being told its her last days, she was making pizzaman jokes trying to ease everyone elses pain. What a beautiful soul !! I will miss you Jenny! Still praying for you and family. We love you!! ❤️
She did on the 5th of november at 5:00pm RIP Jenny I will never forget you and your great attitude in life even though you had cancer, you made the best of every day! I pray for your family…
R.I.P. Jenny 11/5/23 at 5pm. You will be greatly missed. You taught the world a lot about non-smoking Lung Cancer and Stage 4 cancer through your thoughtful loving journey. Loving, healing prayers to Kyle, Ellis and Winnie. 🙏🙏
@@jsj297That is what her husband, Kyle, said. To avoid any confusion, she was declared deceased on November 5, 2023 at 5 pm. RIP Jennifer Appleford. She was only 36.
@@jaypie0864 as far as I know I don’t believe she has, but thank you for not coming on here and right away blasting the covid vaccine for causing cancer. At this point we really don’t know. While I cannot say for certainty that it can’t cause cancer, I have been doing my own research and haven’t really found a correlation in any increase of multiple kinds of cancer in those who have received the vaccine. Personally I think the increase in cancer rates is caused more by environmental factors, air quality, food additives, etc. The increase of certain types of cancer has been on the rise long before the covid vaccine became available. But I guess only time will tell. Thanks again for being nice and not coming on here in an attacking fashion as I’ve seen many people do on other cancer channels I’m following. That’s just hurtful to those already feeling guilty wondering if they did something that caused their cancer.
Exactly because she complained for months. If they would have done the scan when it first started. They could have called it a lot earlier and that can mean all of the difference with the prognosis of how much time she has with us... Their mistake could have literally taken off months of somebody's life!!
I think doctors don't make as many mistakes as they claim. They knew this lady was getting sick and kept on lying to her. I do believe most doctors are just scammers. I really hope this lady gets better.
Rest in Peace Jenny, this journey you recorded will not just be a testament to the vibrancy, love, and courage you showed on your own cancer journey, but a light for those going through it themselves. Thank you for being you.
This is so sad to think it took her so long to be diagnosed. Absolutely sickening. Your body tells you when something is wrong but they ignored her until it was too late. Rest in peace beautiful Jennie. You deserved so much better than you got.
My mom had been complaining of a stomach ache for quite some time but her doctor kept brushing it off. One day she had a stroke. While recovering in the hospital, they finally took a look at her stomach. She had ovarian cancer that spread throughout her abdomen. We lost her a few months after. This makes me SO ANGRY. For my mom and this beautiful young woman that should be living a long life with her family. These doctors need to listen to us. We know if there's something wrong with our bodies. How many people would still be here if diagnosed sooner. It breaks my heart.
The same thing happened to my mother. They say Ovarian Cancer is the silent killer. I'd say it's more like deaf doctors are the silent killer. So sorry for your loss. I was 27 when she passed.
@@sap3737They know some insurance carriers will not pay for expensive tests. That’s a primary reason they won’t order tests. Find another doctor if someone does this to you.
The fact that She had to *beg* medical professionals to do their JOB is beyond infuriating. They were just going to send her home because her blood work "appeared" normal. That's borderline Malpractice! Rest In Paradise Sweet Angel. The Courage, Grace, and Dignity you displayed was and is Awe-inspiring. God Bless🕯
Yeah unfortunately people do the job for the money only. And the social position. You have to have different doctor, until you fell you have and answer.
Your story is similar to my Dad’s. He had pain in his ribs/arm for over a year. When he complained to his family Dr, the Dr would say things like “ just don’t move your arm if it hurts” He finally complained to his cardiologist who ran tests and found cancer with Mets. My Dad had the same cancer as yours. For anyone reading this, you know your body, if something isn’t right, don’t stop until you get answers. Don’t let Dr’s discredit your complaints. Be your own advocate, it may save your life. This is so sad.
im going through this rn and its even worse because i’m a 16 year old female who looks very healthy on the outside, i’ve been getting a bunch of symptoms along with unexplained fatigue yet everyone around me thinks im faking everything for “attention”, its been going on for a month and i just feel helpless
Doctors are good listeners. They listen to their instructors and colleagues tell them all the lies and misinformation that they then spread on to us that gets and keeps us all sick so they make bank on drugs.
This is generalizing doctors pretty heavily. All doctors are different. There are "doctors" and then there are doctors. Same kinda concept with "back the blue". There are "police officers" and there are police officers. It's common sense.
Doctors don’t listen, they talk and expect you to listen. In their minds they know all there is to know about everything and the patients are just peasants who know nothing. We adults are supposed to be thankful that these people - who seem like kids right out of school- are gracing us with their wisdom.
I'm watching this after Jenny passed on 11/5/23. R.I.P. Jenny you're now officially an angel but in rewatching this now I realized that you were always an angel all along! ❤️🙏
As a nurse myself, you were blown off for over a year! That is medical malpractice!! I know you are gone. To anyone reading this…… you must be your own advocate. Be aggressive and fight for answers. I can not believe that a simple, cheap x-ray was not done the first visit!! I am 5 yrs post breast cancer. This just kills me. I am so sorry❤
I researched this video because of Jenny's hospice state. I am so proud of her personal advocacy and yet feel she was so let down by her primary's negligence. Pain is a symptom and it should have been taken more seriously. And yet her bravery during her journey is so admirable. Utterly heartbreaking.
@@christinelamb1167this story is unbelievably sad, but I don’t see how it’s the initial PCP’s fault. They ordered a chest X-ray as well as a CBC and spleen US. That’s quite a bit of testing, and the truth is stuff gets expensive for people very quickly. Medicine is just the application of evidence based science, and 999/1000 someone of her age and health wouldn’t need more testing. It’s super unfortunate in this situation, but I feel that the PCP did take her concerns seriously, and placing blame on them isn’t super fair.
@@JohnDeere1738 Actually they did not order an x-ray. Months and months later she had to BEG the doctor for an x-rays. That's when they found something, but it was already so advanced.
As I watch this and your live stream now your journey is coming to an end. Sweet Jenny, you fought so hard. I will never forget your bravery and courage during your fight. Sending love, hugs 🫂 and prayers for you, Kyle, Ellis and Winnie. May God comfort you during this journey. You set an example for all of us Warriors out there to never give up. God Speed.🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋❤️❤️❤️💐
You, like many people have not accepted death as a part of life. She is dying, there is not going to be a miracle, and it is important to accept that so that you can help that person through this last stage of life. @@Theresa-zg9uo
@@Theresa-zg9uoJenny is in hospice now. The doctor says she may only have a few days left. In medical parlance, she is “actively dying”. Kyle posted a livestream about an hour ago. Her pain is controlled, she is getting good rest, and spending as much time as she can with her family.
@Theresa-zg9uo yes but she is dying. There isn't any coming back from where she's at right now unfortunately. The focus is being comfortable - pain free and spending time with family, because they have days. As someone who was right there when my mother passed of Lung cancer and witnessing a lot of death in my career. She is going to pass and soon unfortunately.
Shame on that doctor for not taking you seriously when you explained your symptoms! Doctors don't take women seriously, after watching your video today, I'm in tears. God bless you and your family and friends.
I've been following Jenny's story for a while now. I'm a retired nurse practitioner, and it appalls me that she didn't get a simple CXR to start with. Not expensive - diagnosis very possible at the outset of her symptoms. I've known of other non-smokers who got her form of adenocarcinoma - it does happen. She, Kyle, and her children are in my prayers every day. God bless you, Jenny.
I can't stop thinking about where she would've been now if she got scan straight away.... Overwhelming to think that this could have been prevented...Is it possible that she would have developed this kind of symptoms already when the canser is in the first stage?
It’s because of California. I had to begggggg to get an MRI on my Knee for pain for over 7 years. I’m only 27 and I have a cyst on it. They disregard everyone. It took 6 months for us to get my son diagnosed with acid reflux to get him medicine. As a Canadian, this country disgusts me.
Who else still comes back to the beginning of Jenny’s journey? I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone as strong as her. Praise God that she had Kyle…he was/is a rock!! 🙏🏼💕🙏🏼
So, today is 8th Nov 2023 and I just learned we lost our beautiful Jenny on the 5th. I'd never seen this video before. When I came across Jenny's channel was just before she shaved her hair off and she knew she was terminal. but was about to start a new clinical trial. She's unbelievably beautiful and graceful. What a loss! Cancer sucks! Her husband and family are broken-hearted. But she's free from pain and sadness at last. And the love she gave and received, she took with her to cherish until they are reunited again.
I know I should wait to get control over my rage, but I truly hope Jenny’s original doctor hears about her RU-vid channel and reads these comments! I’ve spent the last 2 years watching this absolutely beautiful young mom and wife suffer through the most horrific treatments in order to have more time to spend with her precious children and unbelievably supportive & loving husband. Tragically, her poor little body wore out, and this cruel world lost a true gift from God. And why is this perfect little family now forced to face a life without her in it? Because for over a year, her doctor adamantly refused to listen to her complaints and concerns, despite the fact that she knew her body better than anyone else, and she was worried! Not to mention, she was an educated, health-conscious, young woman who was exhibiting obvious pulmonary distress. Rather than simply order a routine chest x-Ray, he completely ignored her requests, trivialized her fears, and treated her based solely on his own guess work. This arrogant, irresponsible, callous narcissist should be sued for medical malpractice, and he should not be allowed to practice medicine on another human being. Because of his recklessness, Jenny’s once treatable cancer spread too far to cure, and that beautiful angel was forced to suffer though years of devastating treatments which assaulted her body so badly, she wasn’t able to truly enjoy the little time she had left with her children and her family! Not to mention, her husband is not only faced with a future without the love of his life, he’s going to have to find childcare for his two traumatized children who have been raised with a stay-at-home mommy! There is no excuse for what this doctor put this family through, and he should be held accountable for the misery he caused!
I witnessed how horrible healthcare was during covid. It is such a shame that she was ignored and dismissed. Ive never seen someone handle such a devastating situation with as much grace, faith and love as her and Kyle. God bless Kyle and them babies ❤ fly high Jen.
I couldn't agree more. The last time I was in the Hospital for COVID so many people were out in the waiting room some so so sick they couldn't even stand an they didn't even care or separate me from others knowing I had it. It makes me wonder if she would still be here had they listened to her sooner! She shouldn't had had to beg for tests..
I love that we are all here looking at Jenny's beautiful face. I am new to her journey but it affected me so much. What a courageous woman who bear the hell out of cancer❤
Kyle this broke my heart watching this today . I truly understand where your coming from . My husband got very confused before he passed . The Drs suspected the cancer had spread to his brain . It’s the most horrible thing watching your loved one go from the vibrant person they were to not knowing what’s going on around them .Your whole family is in my prayers .🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I can't believe these Dr's she saw. This is extremely heartbreaking. My mom just passed away from lung cancer. Started with back pain like Jenny, and Dr's told her it's probably her mattress. NO IT WASNT. it was lung cancer. Dr's are horrible now ah days. Jenny is right. ADVOCATE FOR YOUR SELF AND FAMILY. Jenny is soooo strong. My mamma was too. ❤
So beautiful, inside and out. You will be forever missed and remembered. You touched the world and taught so much to many. 💔💔 As a widowed mother, and former smoker, who lost my own mother to lung cancer, I was having severe rib pain. I was too scared to see a doctor for awhile. Because I watched this video , I got a CT scan. It was thankfully clear, but I never would have gotten it without Jenny. I'm sure she saved others.
When a person mentions breathing issues and pain in the chest a GOOD doctor would do some kind of diagnostic test - chest X-Ray, pulmonary testing, chest CT scan or MRI chest scan ....something, anything to at least begin to explore possible lung issue. And you can see the cost of being "too nice" or a "people pleaser." Frankly, a lot of doctors just do the bare minimum these days. And even in this case the ER nurse wanted to block you from getting the MRI. Good for being pushy.
I purposely go to a doctor rotation Clinic. I get a new fresh faced excited resident yearly. You are able to go to one visit and cover anything you want. If I want a chest scan they give it to me, if I want bloodwork they give it to me, if I need to discuss mental health and medication, they give it to me. They sit down and they say, what do you need from this visit? It has changed my whole perspective on doctors and care.
@jennyapple I agree yet my doctor has referred me for further tests but there's a waiting list. Got a slightly hoarse voice, some ache (not pain) in left lung, indesgestion and breathlessness etc.
Can't believe this was 2 years ago that she got diagnosed. She was so brave through her journey, always positive, happy, and loved her kids and husband. You sure are missed, Jenny 😢
Imagine if doctors tested for cancer first. Cancer is very time sensitive, but they test for every other thing first. Imagine how many cancers would be caught early.
This. Very nearly the same thing happened to my mom. She had a lump removed from her breast in Oct of 2019. As early as January 2022, she began complaining of pain in her chest (a burning, pulling sensation she always said) and pain across her shoulder and arm. She was told after doing preventative chemo and radiation in early 2020 that radiation on the chest can cause damage to ligaments and muscles, which can cause chronic pain in the area on and off. She visited her doctor a couple of times that year and was told likely that was the source. She did the heat/cool treatments to ease it and laying down frequently (she always said it hurt more being upright and pulling down.) It wasn't until 2023 when she began to be sick constantly (frequent nausea, vomiting, shortness of breath, acceleration of pain in the chest, bad fatigue) that she demanded to have all the scans or ultrasounds available. The cancer returned and spread; it had attached to the breast bone. That was the source of the pain. Spread to liver, lungs and brain at Stage 4 when they finally found it. She was diagnosed officially August 9 2023 and was too weak from having been sick so long to do treatment. She opted not to after a lot of discussion and tears. She just passed Oct 7 2023. It still makes me mad to think of it.
@EmoryStudy Thank you. For sure they do! I understand sometimes resources are limited and as sad as that is, it's no one's fault but advocacy needs to be 10000x better.
🥰😘🌹Honey, it’s been 2years now since you made this video and I just want you to know how proud I am of you sweetheart, SOOOO proud. You’re a Class act, all the way! You’re very Brave, have Dignity, Poise, and are still stronger than you probably know. I love you my Dearest Sister in Christ Jesus. Love love love love love YOU! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
This is so sad that your symptoms were brushed off! Shortness of breath along with rib pain should have warranted diagnostic testing of your lungs the first time you went in. Goodness, I wish you weren’t suffering through all these treatments. Wonderful you have so much support in your family. 💕🙏
If any doctor refuses to do a mri, go to the emergency room and they will do it there. Make up a story because my dads dr refused to do one before it was too late
One thing being an RN has taught me, is to just live life and enjoy it the moment. You can do everything right, and still be sick or worse. Wish the best for this person and family ❤
@@carmencarp3594You have to know what to ask and do some research before seeing the doctor. A lot of the doctors would not think of cancer the first thing when they see a young person walking into the clinic. If they see a young person complaining of blood in the stool, they will do a physical exam, probably saying something like hemorrhoids or rectal fistula send you home with the cream maybe a blood test. They will not send the person to colonoscopy right away especially the bleeding is not significant. People with no medical background will just listen to whatever the doctor tell them. ( By the way if it is bleeding from the hemorrhoids it will stop within a week) otherwise it could be something more serious. 😮
@@carmencarp3594it will carry happening because the long and short of It is most doctors don't care, their needs, those of their colleagues trump their patients needs, I had my pneumonia and Sepsis missed by one GP practice and PMR missed by another. Both practices covered up their mistakes.I now have a private naturopathic doctor, I might pay but he cares about and does the best for his patients.
i was a perfectly healthy 14 year old in feb 2016, by june i had stage 4 alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma with distant mets. i can remember the feeling of constant fatigue and breathlessness pre diagnosis. it’s incredibly scary. i can also relate to the drs dismissing me because of how healthy i looked, ignored my obvious lumps. the second i felt my lump i knew it was cancer idk i just could tell. i am now 2.5 yrs in remission after a relapse but i’m remaining positive.
@@danielleiapalucci1693 yes the first dr i saw when i went to the er for cancer symptoms was more concerned with my appearance. he pulled my mom aside and said “if she doesn’t like the way she looks in a bikini in a few years we can remove the lump”. talking about a 14 year old girl… some drs are in it for all the wrong reasons and it’s hard to trust them.
Your wife will soon be a beautiful angel . So sad to watch this video! Jenny is beautiful inside and out and she is one of a kind special lady . She will be missed by everyone that has had the pleasure to be graced by her . Watching her be soo strong and so unselfish through this journey . She fought with such bravery . May her passing be beautiful with no suffering.
This just breaks my heart after watching the latest videos first. She was so young and beautiful. My mom passed from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. And when they did her brain scan, it showed this big beautiful butterfly, taking up most of her brain from the center out and she passed away. Exactly 2 months later on my third wedding anniversary. I am so sorry for your families loss and I completely agree with Jenny when she said she beat cancer because my mom did too it could no longer manifest in their bodies so it died.
Jenny, it is 10/6/23 and I've recently found your channel. I've watched all of your more recent videos but this one was recommended to me and so I watched even though it is 2 years old. I want to say that you are beautiful and strong and you've been such a fighter through all of this. I will pray for you to have the strength and grace and comfort you need on this journey.
Same here but 10/25/23 so I am catching up! My nanny (2015-80 years old) and husband (2021-52yeaes old) both passed from the same cancer both smoked since they were very young. My nanny had the cancer removed by lobectomy and tonsillectomy and did not treatments when she was 76 and it returned 3 years later. She lived almost a year with no treatment. They had told her she might gain 1 year but it would be a rough year of treatment to gain that other year. She was very lucky to be relatively healthy and felt pretty good until the last month. She ended up having showers of mini strokes and survived that about a week and passed with a bigger stroke. I was glad the pain and suffering didn’t linger on and on. My husband has a bunch of abdominal surgeries due to a ruptured ulcer and abbess’s. After 4 surgeries and a rough year and severe weight loss his back and hips were hurting him and just weren’t getting better so we inquired, a scan was done and blasting lesions were found on the pelvis. A bone biopsy was done quickly and we were expecting prostate cancer because his dad had it , but we’re were shocked with news it was stage 4 lung cancer that had already spread to the pelvis, spine, collar bone and tailbone. He was a horrible patient, still smoked, did eat right, was already down about 75lbs, was addicted to pain meds due to chronic pain for 15 years, didn’t sleep regular, just over all stubborn and non compliant. But we did radiation and chemo, he continued to lose weight. Ended up going from a man that was 6’3” weighing about 220 to 130lbs and was nothing but bones and that was so painful. He could never take his pain meds correctly and I felt terrible fighting with him over because he did have cancer and it was in the bones and extremely painful. But the doctor literally wouldn’t have ever been able to give him enough meds! It was that bad. It ended up spreading to his liver and ribs and he was in so much unmanageable pain we talked to hospice and we had decided that he was going to sign up with hospice and I honestly think that finally coming to that decision and being so tired of the pain he was at peace with his decision and he actually passed away in his sleep that very next morning. He fought his cancer almost a year from his diagnosis. I hate lung cancer for taking 2 of the. People that I loved the most in this world and I am so sorry you are going through this. My prayers are with you, your husband and children and extended family! It is so very hard to watch your loved one be in pain and suffer. I pray your good days outweigh you bad and you get to enjoy your babies much longer than the doctors think! Sending love and prayers.
We went through this same experience with my father in law. He was a very healthy 73 year old that spontaneously lost 20 lbs in 2 weeks, localized pain in his abdomen, chest, and back. I had to beg for an abdominal ct scan. Long story short he had stage 4 Mets to the lungs, kidneys, retroperitoneal area, liver and mediastinum. We were devastated. He had been to the doctor several times with concerns prior.. and no one would listen. He passed away at.Home with us 8 wks after his scan. Praying for you Jenny and everyone else fighting.
My first husband passed from a brain tumor. When he got sick he always said no tears. He only wants people around that’s happy to see him. No tears . We done that while he was sick.he was sick 9 years. Our God is great. He had a wonderfull life I made sure of it. Our kids are now 39 and 44 they remember him playing music and always happy even while he was in pain.
Watching this now with the situation at the hospital makes me brutally sad. So smart and well spoken and beautiful. Ellis upside down and her smile is what i want to remember!! So much love from Florida during this terrible time. ❤
I've been watching Jenny for awhile and I've always wondered how she looked with locks and she is absolutely stunning. Then and now, she is a beautiful soul. I'm praying for you all.
We love you Jenny. We are here with you two years later. You have been a true warrior. When you transition into a angel your family will not leave your side. Don’t be afraid. You have made such a impact on all of us that watch you. To never give up. You never did. We will miss you so much!
I didn’t have lung cancer, but I had chest pain. I had to call a nurse to get permission to see a doctor, the nurse heard my young children in the background and told me I was just stressed out ( I was having chest pains, back pains and shortness of breath). The nurse told me to sit down and put my head between my legs. That didn’t work. This all started around 2pm. I waited until my husband got home from work around 7, and we decided to just head to the hospital, cuz I was so uncomfortable. At the hospital, the doctor told me I should have called 911. I was kind of lectured, I told the doctor that the advice nurse wouldn’t ok an appointment for me, that I was just having stress. Well, I wound up in ICU for 11 days, I had to have two surgeries, if I had gotten to the hospital sooner, I might have only had to have one surgery. I was 31. I had a 3 and a 4 year old. I was young and healthy, but I had a birth defect that almost cost me my life. My advice to people, listen to your body. You know when something is wrong. Don’t make my mistake, I knew something was wrong, but I listened to the advice nurse, and I knew better. I knew there was something very wrong with me.
cancer has no boundaries, my grandfather smoked and passed at the age of 97, started smoking at 16. I am so sorry to hear this. Sending prayers through Jesus.
@@mikegutierrez6227 No, cancer is mostly genetic. Some don´t smoke and eat healthy will get it while some smoking their whole life while drinking and working in an asbestos mine won´t.
Your beautiful family and sharing Jenny’s cancer journey has been a true inspiration for more people than you can possibly imagine. Specifically the grace and honesty you have displayed amidst such difficult and emotional situation has been courageous and encouraging at the same time. Praying for peace and comfort as you all transition to a new life.
I’m another person that followed Jenny on her cancer journey and yes its so infuriating that they didn’t listen to her concerns! I believe this happens too much nowadays and hope her doc, nurses that looked after her watch this video and learn that not listening on their end can shorten a persons life. Put yourself in Jenny’s shoes how would they feel if their health concerns weren’t heard and were given such a diagnosis! So yes I’m devastated that Jenny has passed I will remember you! I’d like to think she’s gone to a much better place that’s what keeps me going!
Notice she had to REQUEST her own blood work and scans!! People we have to be our own doctors now! We have to advocate for our own health, especially as women!
My mom had the same cancer! My mom also put up a great fight! She passed away in 2012 at the age of 63. Stay strong!! Jenny is in the best place anyone could be looking down over you and the kids! RIP Jenny!
I'm so sorry for everything you have had to go through: denial of your symptoms, inadequate testing, lack of pain management. I am a nurse and it's painful to me to see someone suffering. Sending you healing thoughts and hoping your care from this point on is competent, timely, and most of all supportive and compassionate. xo
Wishing you all the best in your cancer battle. Unfortunately regardless of your diet, environmental factors and how well you take care of yourself anyone can get cancer. The unfair thing is that sometimes there just isn’t an answer for so many people including my beloved mom. Prayers for your health.
And it's strange how some people can abuse their health and chain smoke for decades and not get cancer.. My gran is a good example. She's nearly 90 and has chain smoked several packs a day since her 20's. Weird
@@erebusagarista8031 Lung cancer is caused by gene mutations. Genes can be affected by many things both environmental and genetic. Smoking damages the lungs but so do particles in the air, for example, dust, car fumes etc. People who work with dangerous chemicals or items such as asbestos, are also carcinogenic. We don’t really know and cannot predict who will get cancer. Who does, and who doesn’t get lung cancer is overall down to luck at the moment. 85% of people living with lung cancer are non-small cell cancers. Over 300,000 cases are diagnosed every year and of course, not all lung cancer patients are or have been smokers. While people who smoke are of course damaging their lungs on a daily basis which makes them more susceptible to developing gene mutations, it’s not guaranteed that everyone who smokes will develop those gene mutations.
I am watching this in December after Jenny's passing 😭. I still can't believe she's no longer with us it just blows my mind. The COVID pandemic costs Soo many people so much more than we could ever believe. God bless and hold you all.
Our health care system fails us so many times. My husband was dying of Lyme disease and no one would listen to us. For 8 years he went untreated until one day I lost my 💩 with a doctor and told him if he did not order the test we’d requested from the start… that I would be a nightmare. You have got to be your own advocate because at the e end of the day they go home to live in their glass towers while we suffer.
RIP Jenny. You popped up in my RU-vid suggestions yesterday and I'm glad it did even though you're gone. You're a lovely person. Sending love to your loved ones ❤
It is so infuriating how doctors brush aside or not take seriously issues that patients bring up. Good job pushing for the MRI scan. I saw your more recent videos and am heart broken. I truly wish you and your family all the best.
Right!?! The Drs need to have the shame rubbed in their face but by the point of actual diagnosis the patient has other things to think about than booking another appointment and saying to the Dr ' so that thing you said was nothing? Well it is cancer dickwad'
thank you jenny, you saved lives by urging us to get a scan if something feels off..you were a hero , you literally saved lives, bc of you im having a scan of my stomach , something is very wrong and it sounds like cancer..i pray it isn't but thank you bc of you i insisted on one when told by my dr it's prob just constipation..i remembered you and asked for the scan,,i love you jenny , i'll never forget you...
My sisters ovarian cancer was overlooked by doctors until it caused a stroke. It spread to her lungs.she lasted a year with chemo. The pleural effusion procedure was very painful, she held onto me while they performed the aspiration. She wanted to come home but there was always another test the hosp wanted to do. She never made it home. Im so happy Jenny went home on hospice to be with her family!
This is so heart breaking, to know that this could have been caught and treated so much sooner, and maybe a different outcome. You're in my prayers, Jenny. We love you ❤
Sorry to hear from you Jenny! You’re like an older sister to me. I’m from India and I accept I belong to a 3rd world country. But here the medical system is totally different than first world. Our medical system is so cheap and our doctors are so helpful that whenever we ask for CT and MRI, they write in the prescription. We do blood test by our own from clinic. Our healthcare system is not that advanced but at least we’ve freedom to test with our own body! RIP Jenny, a caring mother,wife,sister,daughter. You will be always remembered by your existing videos.
We miss you so much Jenny ❤ I’m pregnant with hopefully a daughter this time, and my husband and I have been so excited to have her named after you. Jennifer 🦋🌻 it’s such an honor to have gotten to known you through your videos. Forever missed - never gone 🩷🩷🩷
@@sunshine9122 I truly hope so 💕 When I think of Jenny I think of a Disney princess with a heart of gold. Her humble personality and kindness and motherly nature inspires me. I am now 4 months pregnant with a girl 👧 who will be named Jenny Doralee Johnson 🥰
How many others had to wait for the diagnosis they so desperately needed. This is so terribly sad and likely preventable. Delaying cancer diagnosis for a virus... heart sinks for this poor family.
WOW!! I just thought Id start back at the beginning because I've missed hearing Jenny speaking since she died, but never expected that so many other people would be doing the same thing!! She was as lovely on the inside as she was on the outside!
Our medical system keeps failing people. So many don’t believe patients, and don’t follow through on symptoms. From the first medical visit in 2021, to the urgent care PA, to the pulmonologist who left you hanging with web sites after your official diagnosis. It’s frustrating and unfair. May God bless you, Kyle and the kids. I hope your transition is peaceful. May God comfort your family. 🙏🏾❤️
Just came to meet your beautiful wife. No words can help, but my prayers are with you and your beautiful family. I'm so very sorry that this happened to you all. What an amazing soul she is❤
Oh Jenny you’ve touched my heart so deeply and I won’t forget your courage to live through this disease… May you rest in peace beautiful lady-praying for Kyle, Ellis and Winnie and your whole family… lots of love from Canada
Jenny, I'm thinking of you today. I saw a lady bug in my laundry room. I hope you are dancing in the sky. Keeping Kyle and the kids in my prayers. You were so beautiful, courageous, and strong. You have forever imprinted on our hearts. We miss you.
