what exactly is the go fund me for? you must have insurance since you got treatment right away. you two live with parents. I'm sure they are helping. what exactly do you need monet for?
@@vegassurvivor2745 It's clearly explained on that page: "Although they have medical insurance that we hope will cover a bulk of the costs, there will be a significant out of pocket cost as they fight to find the best possible treatment options. For those in the plant-based community, you know Brian will be in charge of preparing ALL of Jessica's meals with only the BEST organic produce to flood her body with phytonutrients, which will certainly result in increased grocery bills. They are also looking into a potential stay at TrueNorth Health Center in California as Jessica prepares for treatment. Following surgery, it was confirmed that despite their best efforts to make it work, the doctor who operated on Jessica is not "in network" for her insurance. Because she came in through the ER and was treated at a hospital that is "in network," we have been assured there won't be any issues with the coverage for her initial surgery and hospital stay, but after her June 22nd follow up appointment, any visits to this doctor would be considered "out of network" and not covered AT ALL by insurance. Because of this, they are currently searching for the right doctor to help fight the cancer in the best way possible, and have expanded their search beyond St. Louis in hopes of finding the perfect fit. There will likely be a lot of travel costs associated with her treatment. It is going to be a long road ahead, but Jessie and Brian are remaining strong as they put together a plan and get ready for battle. Anything you can contribute will go directly towards these expenses, and we can't thank you enough for your generosity at this difficult time."
@@vegassurvivor2745 if you do not want to bless this nice couple just scroll on it is not required, but to even ask such a thing during this devastating time is horrible. I’m sure they will both be out of work as well as uncovered expenses. My Mom had cancer and it is not easy or cheap and they had insurance and a secondary insurance. Shame on you!!!
Jessica, here's a positive story for you to hang onto. My friend was 24 when she was diagnosed with Stage 4 ovarian cancer. She went thru the treatments successfully and went on to have a beautiful daughter. She is now in her early 40s and the cancer is still gone. Don't ever give up hope. 🥰
I have a similar story- friend was diagnosed with ovarian cancer at 24. She had surgery and chemo and today, 9 years later, she has remained cancer free. There is absolutely hope! Praying for you and your family through this time.
Been battling various cancers for the past 15 years: melanoma, kidney cancer, breast cancer, bone Mets, blood cancer. During that time, I’ve finished a graduate degree, worked full time, participated in athletic events. Point being, you can do this! You got this!
I was so depressed, I had to take a leave of my school bus job. I was so scared I was going to leave behind my kids with no mom. Life is beautiful now. I have my family, my kids and grandkids are my world. Kidney cancer was a rough one. But I did not need kemo. Thank God.
Can I just say Brian is the best! Everybody needs a Brian truly an example of a gentleman and thoughtful young man. More Brians and I would feel good about our world🙏
My husband of 23 years left when I had brain surgery. I was legeally blind and suffered horriable grand maul seizures but he could not handle the 'stress'. It was my church community that got me to grocery, doctors.. Be grateful for your husband. I am the rule you are the exception. Make sure you say, "Thank you Jesus for my husband"
@@cindyshepherd2208 That’s horrific. Unfortunately, you’re right. I’ve red that it’s actually quite common that a man will leave their spouse when they get sick. It’s more common this way around. It’s really sad. 😔
I absolutely hate cancer. I have had cancer, had my kidney removed along with an 8 pound tumor when I was a kid. I know you are scared and worried, keep up your chin, know that you are loved and not alone.
Hi, my name is Trina. I was a 36 yr old woman diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Your story is sooo similar to mine! I couldn’t believe it as I watched. Thank you!! Thank you so much for sharing! You are putting eyes on cancer and keeping us women aware!!!!! I still can’t believe how many things unfolded just like you. So thankful for the supportive husband. Much luck to you on your journey. You have my continued prayers. I am here for you anytime!!!
Even as a radiation oncology professional, I can't fathom being able to have the composure you've had thus far. I actually did my schooling in Saint Louis and I'm literally picturing what hospital u might be at (I studied allied health at Barnes right before they went back to being a nursing only school in 2007 and did clinical rotations at other centers in the area). I'm so hopeful that you'll be relieved of pain now and that the journey will only be upwards. Best wishes.
May all those dealing with cancer and other serious illnesses be able to get treatments that lead them to permanent remission and good health. Sending healing love and comfort to all who need it💚🌟
My Mom had a full hysterectomy at age 75 after a cancer diagnosis. I went up to take care of her and within 3 weeks she up and ordering me around so I knew she was feeling better. She did some radiation.. low dose after. She just had her 86th birthday and is doing just fine. You are young and strong Jessica. This will be tough but you're going to get through it and come out the other side. We are watching and praying for you. God bless
My mom went through the same thing at 65. Within weeks after surgery, she was stage II since it had spread a little bit to her stomach lining, she was back to work and kept working trough chemotherapy and then after that until she was almost 75. She turned 81 in late April and is doing fine too, living her best life in the countryside.
It's so unusual to have any pain with ovarian cancer, your body's pain was a blessing and saved your life. My mom had ovarian cancer and felt nothing, no warnings, no bleeding, nothing. You're young and otherwise healthy, you have support in your wonderful husband, your church, you'll get through this dear. You'll eat healthy and go through treatment and come out on the other side with greater health and vitality. Prayers from Milwaukee. ❤️
It isn't unusual at stage 3/4. Early diagnosis is rare since it can be so silent. My sister was diagnosed stage 4 as she was having such congested feeling/difficulty breathing (there was cancer cell filled fluid surrounding her lungs as it turned out). The week before that she had been running marathon distances with no issues (she was a serious runner).
Hi Sweetheart. I had ovarian cancer in 2011. I went through the surgery and chemotherapy. Here it is 11.5 years later and I am still cancer free. I was 52 at the time. You and I are actually lucky because our bodies told us something was seriously wrong. Your’s was pain, mine was the size of my tumor (huge). There was no ignoring those signs. Many people have no noticeable symptoms until it is in an unstoppable stage. I am sending the most healing thoughts and prayers your way! Stay as strong and positive as you can. Of course there will be times when you are depressed, angry, or scared. That is so normal considering the weight of this diagnosis. That is when your wonderful supportive family and friends will be there to hold you and lift you up. Always feel free to reach out and be honest. If there is one thing I learned from my cancer, it is that life is too short to not be honest and able to open up to your loved ones and them feel free to do the same. It changed all of us for the better!
In 2005 I was diagnosed with Stage 1C2 ovarian cancer at the age of 42. Up to that point I was completely healthy and I passed all my yearly exams with flying colors. I started to have back discomfort which then radiated to the abdomen. The CT scan revealed a mass on my right ovary. I was scheduled to see the surgeon on Monday and during the weekend the pain continued to intensify greatly. I kept calling my OBGYN about the pain and she kept telling me to take the pain pills and hang on til Monday morning. By Monday morning I could barely stand. The surgeon took one look at me and rushed me into surgery. My ovary had ruptured. He was so infuriated with my OBGYN that he called and screamed at her for not listening to me when I told her how bad my pain was and that my abdomen had become hard. I had a complete hysterectomy and six rounds of chemotherapy. I was able to get through that difficult time because of my strong Christian faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. He provided me with great comfort. I also looked on the bright side of things. When I suffered nausea from the chemo I joked that it was a way to keep my calorie intake low and didn't have to worry about weight gain. Ive always struggled with my weight my entire life. This was the one time in my life I did not think about weight gain. When I lost my hair from the chemo. I celebrated by buying fun wigs. I looked on the bright side of things like never having a bad hair day. Was excited how fast I could shower when I didn't have to shave my legs or wash my hair. Celebrated how smooth my skin became during chemo. I really tried to focus on the positive things and was thankful for everything. When one is faced with cancer your perspective of what is really important in life changes. Everything that I worried about in the past I came to realize was not important at all. Spending time with loved ones became so important. At the time I was a Pediatric Intensive Care Nurse and I learned a lot from my patients. Little kids are always happy and see the joy and wonderment in everything. They can feel awful one moment but the second they even start to feel slightly better they are happy and wanting to go to the playroom. So I tried to emulate them. Patients who have a positive attitude do so much better and I was determined to do everything in my power to have a good outcome. So I trained myself to see the positive side to everything and it worked. So to sum this all up. My time with cancer was not the funnest time in my life but it certainly was not the worst time either. It put a lot of things into perspective that I still carry with me today. I have been cancer free for 17 glorious years. You can do this Jessica. Look how brave you are with making You Tube videos and how people can be so cruel and mean with their comments. I personally think that is way scarier than cancer. You are one strong woman and I have no doubt you will come through this journey with flying colors. I know just how scary this can be but you've got this girl!!!
@@mygirldarby There is a blood test though although I'm not sure if there are different types of ovarian cancer and maybe not all can be detected with the blood test.
You all just showed up in my recommendations. First time seeing you. I know why it was in my recommendations... to join everyone in lifting you both up in prayer . I went down this cancer road with my Momma and my Husband and I had a big scare 2 years ago. Having your amazing Husband , Mom and others there to support you and help in any way is key to your recovery . You were so brave and strong dealing with pain like that for so long. I pray they are keeping you as comfortable as possible 🙏! Will be here for you both ! Hugs from a Kansas Grandma ❤️
Wow girl. Didn't realize how much I care for you after just seeing you on RU-vid. This clip was so emotional I'm in tears. Localized is the best news here if you can believe it. You are a trooper & remember, localized most likely means you "HAD" cancer not you have it. God bless you little Missy. You will have many people praying for you. Thanks Jessica & Brian for updating everyone. 🙋♀️♥️🙏
I agree…… well stated…… she had cancer…… not any more. Your journey now sweet Jessica is to build up your immune system. For assistance with that you go to Chris Wark…. You Tube….Chris Beat Cancer. He has a wealth of information. Prayers and hugs 💕
Please don’t apologize for lengthy videos. These videos are therapeutic and we’ll support as best we can. Lending our ears and eyes is the least we can do!😊🇨🇦🙏
❤️ Lord, please give Jessica grace and strength to endure and recover. Please help her heal on all levels and provide every need (access to nutrition, funds, emotional support and peace of mind, etc). You know her specific needs and what she is facing…draw close and comfort her in the difficult time. In Jesus’ name, Amen ❤️
I was diagnosed with Ovarian cancer in 2012 I was 26 years old. I went to the ER my bp was 210/168 when I got there they took me straight back did all kinds of tests. The doctor came back in and told me I was in total kidney failure and I had a huge tumor crushing me. I was transferred to a bigger hospital where I had emergency surgery to remove a 11lb cancers germ cell tumor. I started chemotherapy a month later. I did 3 rounds of chemotherapy and I’m 10 years cancer free. I have a lot of long term health issues from the chemotherapy and the tumor crushing me for who knows how long. I just had a hysterectomy because I was still having issues and because of my cancer risk. Praying for y’all you will get through this it’s just a bump in the road. I look back at how far I have come. The doctors told my parents if I didn’t go to the ER when I did I would not be here today. God will help you get through this.
I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer last July, had a radical hysterectomy August, I was in surgery for over 4 hours, developed shingles a few days after I was home and passed two kidney stones at the same time, I went through this alone, I had to push myself to do daily task and walk but after going through it, I realize how strong my will to survive is, I was given very little pain medication, I changed my diet completely, no sugar, no dairy, no red meat or pork and only whole grains if I eat them, I lost 34 lbs, I feel pretty good now, still have some residual pain but I keep moving, so far so good, just have to get exam and labs done every 6 months, this was not my first rodeo with surgery and health issues, the human body can rebound if given proper nutrition, exercise and rest, it will be alright.
@@nancymuller3291 Wtf? did I say you had too? No and I don't eat much bread or pasta but if I do it's whole wheat, you are free to eat whatever you choose, I was only speaking of my experience, when you're diagnosed with cancer it changes your perspective, I wish you luck and most of all Peace.
Look up Joe Tippens, if you have cancer still, he beat cancer Fenbendazole, he did the radiation and the chemo and that metastasized it they gave him three months to live he did the FENBENDAZOLE, 14 weeks he was healed of cancer he’s been alive six years now and I used his protocol I have breast cancer is completely gone in the breast I have one little dot left on my lung but it’s probably gone now, Look up Joe Tippens and the Templeton interview
I’m so sorry you’re going through this. My sister was just diagnosed today, June 14th, with acute leukemia. I’m wrecked. Prayers for you and your families.
I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in June 1998. Here I am all these years later. It is really good you sought medical care as quickly as you did. Just remember to stay in the moment and just breath. You are very brave for sharing and it will help others. You are in my prayers.
TONS of great research and medicines out there. I know of several people who are still going strong with diagnosis of cancer over a decade ago. One brain cancer and the other kidney. Sorry kiddo, faith is everything at a time like this. God bless
So glad they caught it!! My daughter at 25(2019) started having issues with greasy looking poop floating, nausea, etc. Bloodwork was "within normal limits" but I knew they were missing something. I looked over the blood results. 2 were within 1-3 points from being high and 1, 2 points from being low. I researched and they ALL had the pancreas in common. CT showed a mass in the tail of her pancreas. Biopsy showed suspicious mucosa(pre cancerous cells). The oncologist was great. Already being on an all organic diet, the nutrition nurse said she would do great. They took the tail of pancreas, and spleen. If I hadn't have been vigilant with her blood results, that silent timebomb would still be growing. Always do your own research if you think they are missing something. Hopes wishes prayers and healing and positive energies sent!
American girl69- so glad your daughter made it through- I had idiopathic pancreatits in 2015- from that one episode there is diffuse damage and I now take Creon which is purified pork pancreatic enzymes- Yeah Babe the Pig died for ME. Luckily my insurance covered it; still vigilant as I am one of the few that didn't also 😅 become diabetic. But if I miss taking it I Revert to the " floater " which is called steatoorhea.
After a month of pain and like you thinking he had a kidney stone my husband was diagnosed with lymphoma. After one chemo treatment he felt so much better. He is on round 2 this week. So far no bad side effects. It sucks but You have each other and a ton of people who love you and you will get through this!!!
Stay strong. I had stage 3 cancer with a high grade tumour( s). I had my bladder and uterus removed at the age of 49 ( too young for bladder cancer apparently 😐) That was 12 years ago and after that major op and some chemo, life is GOOD and I am 12 years cancer free.
14:00 Brian being wonderful. Loving and supportive and yet giving guidance. It was his job to be strong so that she could be in her feelings. 👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just another quick word of encouragement from another survivor! I was diagnosed with stage 3A 9 1/2 years ago. I was 49. I was treated with surgery and 6 rounds of chemo and have had no recurrences or major side effects or complications since then! I'm so glad a GYNONC did your surgery...that will definitely provide you with the BEST possible treatment protocols and outcomes!
First of all, thank you. 13 months ago I had my 1st colonoscopy. Ever since I have intermittent and recurring pain 9n my right side, under my rib cage. I am now scheduling an appointment with my doctor. No more prolonging my fear of the unknown.
Love the reminder to 'get it checked'! Also - should a person spit/cough up ANY blood, go straight for an x-ray via the doctor. I nearly didn't, but a friend insisted and it saved my life. (Well the surgery did, and my lung lobe - the one that remained on the left side - expanded a bit so I have 90% of my previous lung capacity. Grateful!) Wishing you a good recuperation, Jessica.
Sweet Jessica, you don't have cancer YOU HAD cancer, they took it out. Now you must have a positive mental attitude and be healthy in mind and body. So many prayers can do miracles. GOD BLESS.
I was 34 when something very similar happened to me, and this vlog took me right back there. Seeing the fear in Brian's eyes was heartbreaking. The support I got from my partner during my cancer diagnosis and treatment was invaluable, and I can tell that you have that too. But even though he tried to hide it and stay strong for me...I think his pain was more painful than my own. You both got this, your love is strong and will get you through ❤
Hello....everything you are going through completely mirrors what my wife and i went through in 2017 when she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. i really feel for you guys as i recognize every step and thought we had. i want to say to brian to keep doing what you are doing...the support you are giving is invaluable to her...im proud of you. i wouldnt wish this journey on anyone....thoughts and prayers for strength.
Jessica and Brian. The one thing that has always impressed me - going right back to when you first started this channel - is your incredible braveness in your approach to all things that you do in life. You’ve got this, ok! I have a feeling that the hospital is a good thing… your grandmother will be watching over you and looking after things. Stay safe, stay brave. Much aroha (love) from NZ.
WOW, I am so moved by your experience. Adding you both to my prayer list now. I'm a critical care RN but spent a few years in the OR on the GYN team at UAB in Birmingham. I saw a lot of cancer but also WAY MORE amazing, successful treatment and healing!!! Hugs, love and many prayers.
There are no words that can express how much my heart feels for the two of you. Bravery and love. Fear and gratefulness. So many emotions will touch you both moving forward but the bond between you will conquer them, nurture them and allow grace to fill your heart's. Don't waste time on trying to understand the "why". Square your shoulders, lift you head and look the beast square in the eye and kick its ass. We all will be here to cheer you on. Love from me. ❤💯
I'm so sorry. :'( This was a very big announcement... A very life changing event, and you shared it with everyone. I commend you for your strength right now. You can really see the love you two have for each other, and it's very heartening. We are all here for you as well. I'm sending you blessings & hugs.💖
Jessica and Brian, I have watched your videos but never commented. After watching today’s video and seeing how open you are about inviting us into your most personal experiences, it feels wrong to watch without commenting and sending you support. You both mean so much to your viewers and I know we are all wishing for Jessica’s full recovery. I hope you feel bathed in love and healing energy.
As a breast cancer survivor I empathize. Get it checked out! I was only in my 50s but my grandmother and older sister both had cancer. I started getting mammograms before my Dr said it was necessary. Go with your gut. Hopefully it will all be better now for you Jessica!❤️
There was a lot of breast cancer (in dad's side of family). My sister then got diagnosed at 43 with ovarian cancer and got genetic testing. Turns out we have a BRCA1 mutation. I got tested and was positive for the mutation, so I had my breasts removed preventatively at 32 years old. I still have my ovaries, but I should probably have them removed also (I'm 52 now).
Thank you so very much for sharing. It means a lot to me - I am two years into my diagnosis. It is how I found you guys. I grew up in the Midwest and food was the focal point of my rural family - not to mention - my date to the prom -so your experience of the logic of plant based not making immediate emotional sense has always resonated with me. My oncologist told me to go plant based to help give the medicine a boost. You guys and my diagnosis have actually helped clarify what I need to do, and there is good in that. Not that there is anything good about cancer. But it is what has been laid in our laps. Now we find the good. The way forward. You are surrounded by love - both of you. That’s the best medicine. You will be given loads of advice - but all I can say is - once the treatment plan is in place - simplify your lives as much as you can. Whatever annoying things on your to-do lists that have survived the great pandemic clearinghouse, now is the time to kick them to the curb. Just make sure it’s on trash day. ❤️
Dear Jessica and Brian, You are right to share because other people are going through the same types of things. I was diagnosed last June with Cancer. With the support of a great team of doctors, my amazing husband and my friends and family supporting me all the way through treatment, I am currently cancer free. Just hearing that word the first time is so incredibly shocking. Sending hugs and prayers.
Hearing you talk about your experience before surgery, and then right after when you woke up, made me tear up. I had a hysterectomy just a year and half ago, and I had the same experience waking up. Just wanting our rocks to be there for us. I'm praying super super hard for you. So much love your way.
This takes me back years to when I was 40 (I'm 76 now). I'm in the UK and for 2 years my GP treated me for IBS - the pain came every 3 or 4 months and wasn't obviously linked to my cycle. In fact my ovarian cyst had attached itself to my bowel - on one occasion I fainted from the pain. When they opened me up I also had a cyst on my right ovary! They gave me a full hysterectomy followed by about 10 years on HRT. I was so happy to have that op, and say goodbye to that pain.
This was so incredibly brave of you to share and to go through. It also proves that women are just the toughest people out there. Sending all the love and prayers for nothing but blue skies and good news for you both. Y'all have been a calming presence in my life the last few years and I'm honored you let us in on this journey with you. ❤️
I am a cancer survivor. Keep talking and sharing, express your fears and your thoughts because saying then out loud removes some of your anxiety. I also sympathize with your pain, you handled it much better than I did, so good for you. It will make you mad and sad , but the way you are choosing to share it is a good approach and you will need a very large support network for the next year or two. Know that every person who has ever heard those words has had your emotions, felt your fear, and questioned why me, why now? But in the heat of my fight, I focused on the phrase that God gave me this life because I am the one strong enough to live it. He is there, leading a lot of valuable people into your life’s path, so be grateful and live your very best life every day. I’m praying for you and Brian both.
I’ve been worried… thank you for the update. I’m glad Brian is by your side. Just know the Lord is with you both during this process. Praying that the Lord will give guidance and peace. Love you guys💕🙏🏻
My heart goes out to you. I got a breast cancer diagnosis last September... it's such a shocking diagnosis. May your guardian angels guide and keep you in their loving care. Prayers for you and your family. Walk your WFPB path even more faithfully from here on out.
My husband had cancer--piece of advice: always have someone with you for follow-up appointments. It can be very difficult to hear and retain information.
Sending you love, prayers and a speedy recovery 🙏🙏🙏🙏. I know you are gonna be fine 😉. You guys are blessed with knowledge about plant based eating which most people in your position are not. That's a great advantage that will help you along this journey. Thank you for sharing with all of us 🙏❤
I’m so sorry to hear you’re going through this. You telling your story and being open is going to help so many. Your channel has helped me so much through the years. Please keep ups updated and I will keep you guys in my prayers.
Oh my! I am so sorry to hear the news. :( My husband was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer that has spread to his lymph nodes and bones. Prognosis is not good at that stage. He's not even 50 years old yet. It has been extremely stressful and emotional for the both of us. He's been really good with changing his diet, though, and has the spirit to fight this tooth and nail. I wish you the strength to do the same, Jessica! You will pull through this! Wishing you both all the best.
So sorry to hear about this ... but it sounds like your doctors are on top of it.... You ARE young & healthy, I hope your recovery and the trajectory of your recovery is smooth. I'm a lot older than you and had a cyst on an ovary (thankfully, not malignant) and I remember that fear ... I had to have a full hysterectomy due to fibroid tumors and they removed one ovary when I was 40. I actually wish they'd removed both at that time to negate the fear of Ovarian cancer once and for all .. but I was kind of a mess and didn't think about that. Just keep thinking good thoughts, taking care of yourself and seeking the best care you can get. XXX
My heart sank watching your last video because the symptoms you were describing were exactly what my mom described. 16 years after surgery and chemo she's still totally fine though and she's in her early 80s so I'm convinced you got this too! I'm so glad you listened to your body and got help.
I discovered I had cancer in 2019. I had no support system. No family, count your blessings, enjoy each day. After 6 m of chemo, it''s gone. Everyone is different, it's scary, just put 1 foot in front of the other, Best of luck .❤
Thank you for sharing ❤️ I’m sorry you didn’t have a support system… I can’t imagine. I am SO blessed to have the greatest army fighting this battle with me. Very happy to hear that it’s gone. ❤️❤️❤️ One day at a time… - Jessica
God Bless you. My Mom was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and uterine cancer simultaneously at age 38 while I was a high school junior and I remember it all like it was yesterday. It was tough on her no doubt. Those were scary times no doubt. However, I am 50 now and she is 72 and going strong! Please know you are in my prayers and that you will triumph and be a beacon of hope for others.
Keep an eye on your ca-125. My mom’s went down like crazy when the chemo started to work. I’m so sorry sweetheart. But we’re all here praying for you and sending our love 💗
I've watched you guys occasionally but am especially drawn to how close you two are. it's pure, genuine an rare. this news has me rattled, so sad and upset for you. funny how RU-vid can bring people's lives together. I care. I'm Catholic so have a super strong devotion to the holy rosary. I'll be praying rosaries for you guys and continue to follow the process. love and hugs from a grandma in Kentucky
i went through something similar at age 36. cervical cancer solved by a radical hysterectomy. changed my life, and weirdly, for the better. i too was free from issues up until hearing that i had cancer. i had such peter pan syndrome that i was in disbelief, and felt humiliated. found out that humiliation is an opportunity for growth, which i experienced, and for that i am thankful. my thoughts are with you guys. glad you have each other, and such a wonderful loving family.
I admire your courage in documenting this and sharing it so openly with us. It's a privilege to support you, and I know I'm not alone in feeling that way. I'm sure many other Krock Pots feel the same. I am sending you all the vibes for gentle healing and for compassion towards yourself as you absorb and navigate this news and the news that lies ahead. We are here for you. You are not alone. Brian, you have been an absolute rockstar in every way. Please take care of yourself too. Sending you both lots of love.
Saying prayers. You two are special. You are blessed to have a good husband. I was 39 when I had my first breast biopsy, I was 40 when I first was told that I had breast cancer. I had my breast removed and had a tram. Had chemo etc. Thank God for my husband. God got me through this.He also had my husband there for me. It was 28 years later when I was told I had breast cancer again. This time my husband had passed about 4 months prior. Be there for each other. Bless you both!
Jessica and Brian, I am so glad you’re on the other side of this procedure and that you have great family support, great doctors and nurses to take you through the rest of the journey. It’s amazing how this changes your RU-vid presence. I think you are going to be even more proactive in continuing a healthy lifestyle and encouraging all of us to do the same. Thank you for allowing us to see your journey. Brian, you are the kind of husband that any wife would want by their side. Your strength gave Jessica strength to get through the pain and surgery. I hope you both can get some sleep, although I know that is difficult in a hospital. And I also hope that Jessica’s pain is way down.
I found you guys three years ago. I've always loved your style and quirky humor. You made weight loss and lifestyle change seem attainable with a good dose of laughs and fun added in. You guys have the support of so many people you've never even met. You are so brave, Jessica, even when it doesn't feel like it. We love you and support you
Even though the results are not what you and we would have all hoped, I’ve been impressed with the way you advocated for yourself at the beginning, something I would not have done at your age. Prayers for your recovery and good outcome. Thank you for letting us in on this, as your audience very much cares about you two. My experience has been that it is very helpful to have an outside medical resource to bounce things off of and to advocate for the patient, so I hope there is someone like that in your life. Hugs.
This is my first time I’ve ever seen a video of you guys. I believe it was fate that I seen it in my feed. You are amazing. Knowing what your body is doing and the different feelings is amazing. Stay in tune to your body and it’ll tell you what it needs. Cancer was found and removed and I pray that GOD has his hands on your surgeons and they got it all. STAY TRUE TO YOU AND YOUR BODY. SHARE THIS FOR ANY AND EVERY ONE TO SEE. ❤️
Jessica, I am so sorry. I don’t even have the words to say everything I hope for you. I will try. I hope you heal quickly from your recent surgery. I hope you have peace during a time that is so confusing, stressful scary. I hope you get all the answers you need quickly and whatever needs to be done in terms of treatment also comes quickly. I can’t imagine. I will say though, you did give me a chuckle at the beginning of the video when you said the thing about the potatoes - I was thinking the same thing after I watched the part one to this video! You got this girl! And you have Brian and this beautiful community that you both created to give you strength and support you along the way!
Jessica, upon seeing your journey and watching your videos, let me say, you are definitely a rock star. When I was 20, I went through the same thing, except the mass was on the right ovary and tube. I am so very sorry for this excruciating pain your experiencing. It’s the worst pain. There is no way to get comfortable, and I was willing to stand on my head if necessary!!!! Morphine is fabulous after hours of that pain. My tumor was bigger than a grapefruit, and my tube, which is the size of your little finger, was now the size of a quarter. After surgery, we finally got the pathology report back, and it was benign. My daughter had a terminal brain tumor in 2018. They agave her 3 months, and she’s still here doing fine. Don’t lose hope, where there is a will, and you have that, God will provide. Blessings 🙏🙏🙏💕
Jessica and Brian, I'm so glad that you have each other to lean on. Telling your story will help many, and possibly save lives. To say "Thank you" hardly seems enough. Your bravery, openness, and love for others is beautiful. You've got this, Jessica! Praying for you, Brian, your mom, and the whole family! 🙏
You two are such a beautiful couple. I'm so glad the surgery was successful and you are doing better. You are a strong young woman and I just know that your recovery will easy and quick. 💗
It affected me strangely on my 2nd hip replacement. I was having bizarre hallucinations of old fashioned nurses with the old white hats, and a big white cat on my bed. They weren’t really there. No more morphine for me I hope.
From thinking maybe a stone to cancer and then still wanting to tell/share the story, that's very cool. It might help someone like you mentioned who was afraid to check a pain out or putting something big off. I'm still newish here, I don't know you guys yet but wow, what a great thing to have your hubby and your mom. Sending all the well wishes to you. PS: Sorry to hear about your grandparent passing as well. Lots and lots of good wishes your way. Until next update, Cheers, Ivy.
I'm in tears right now. I'm just recovering from a little bit similar experience. It started in the end of April and now I'm after laparotomy and without left ovary with huge endometrioma. I'm so sorry that you went through that pain. You are such a sweet person and I like your channel. Sending love and hugs!
Prayers for you both. You will be fine Jessica! They’ve got it out and with a known diagnosis they will be able to properly treat you. Brian, you never stop amazing me with how kind and loving you are.
Thank you both for being so willing to share so much of yourselves through this experience. Best wishes for a restorative and uneventful time of recovery.
I just love you, Jessica. You have been an inspiration to me. I’m so sorry you are going through this tough time. Please know that I’m praying for you both. And your families. I just watched Brian talking to the camera about how he’s taking care of you the best he can, and of COURSE we know he is! I’m so thankful that you guys have each other while going through this valley. Much love from nan ❤️😘 (in northern Illinois)
God bless you both. My prayers are with you and your family. I was diagnosed with cancer last May, 2021. I was just like you in having a hard time understanding that I had cancer. During my treatment, no one was allowed to be with me because of the restrictions with covid. I'm so glad you are able to have the support around you. Here I am a yes later. I have gone through chemo and radiation after first having surgery. I'm starting to get my strength back. I pray your journey is easy and you recover quickly. God bless you
We are with you in spirit. I hope you know and feel our prayers and compassion for your journey through this. I wish we could wave our magic wands and heal you from top to bottom. We will be here when you want to share more. Thank you so much for keeping us in your most private moments. Things will get better - I have confidence it will.
I'm so sorry, Jessica. This must be really hard for you to fathom. It sounds like they caught it early enough to where you have a great prognosis for the future. Lots of well wishes coming your way, and a huge shoutout to Brian for taking such good care of you and being your rock when he is so scared, too.
Watching you here in the UK, I wanted to send you my best wishes for a full recovery. You are very brave sharing your story with everyone and you and Brian are the sweetest of couples. I will be thinking of you both xxx
I am so glad you are sharing your lives with us. It helps me keep my own life in perspective. I realize that many of my own fears and tribulations are experienced by others as well. Praying for you both. God bless you.
I’m sorry you’re going through this. Thank you for being so brave and sharing your journey with us and the reason is to help bring awareness for others; it’s very selfless and brave so thank you. Keeping you both in my prayers for a perfect recovery and to hear the words “cancer free” very soon. Hugs from Los Angeles.
Oh my goodness, you guys.... I’m so bone deep sorry this is happening. Praying for wisdom, strength, peace, and grace as you go boldly where so few would be willing to take us. May your transparency and courage serve to buoy your spirits as you begin to see even a fraction of your impact SO FAR. Believing good things for you both!
This is my first time ever seeing your channel, you just randomly popped up for me and I’m now thinking of you and wishing you well and hope all the energy from the thousands of folks who watch you will give you a powerful healing boost. You got this.
Oh sweetie my heart hurts for you. You are already touching & being an inspiration to so many people. Your strength is amazing Jessica. I know I don’t have to tell you how many people love you & have you in their prayers. You’re going to beat this! Much love to you & Brian.
