The purpose of my channel is to document my cancer journey to look back on, and/or help anyone else going through anything similar. It is also to potentially help loved ones supporting those who are in this fight as well. This is also an easy way to update a lot of people at once. My main goal is to have footage of this journey for my husband and children to look back on. I originally created this channel as a sort of video diary for my
family.
Thank you so much for following along on this journey. Your love and support help me so much.
I think Jenny always knew that she would die soon. Her joy and bravery in its face will inspire me for the rest of my days.
Kyle said she was ready at the end. She had nothing left to fight with.
Rest in perfect paradise Miss Beautiful Jenny! No more ugly cancer, no more pain and suffering. 🙏🏼💐
Bravery is not the absence of fear, it’s the continued action in the face of it. And you, Jenny, are the very definition of bravery🥰☀❤
Perfect definition
Here Here! ! !
Beautifully put! ❤️
I think your terrific ur a great mom and ur kids are very lucky to have u…and ur sooooo lucky too with Kyle ….love u and ur family ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely. I'm sad for you too.
oh man this is so sad, your kids will be so grateful to have videos like this to watch and see how much you wanted to be there for them!
This video made me smile and cry at the same time. 😢😊 Jenny was such a good mom! She had so much joy in mothering her children, and her family was everything to her. I feel grateful to have had the opportuniity to see her example of a loving mom.
RIP sweet Jenny!
Jenny you willl be with All your Babies and Hubby🐕 🐕 🐕 🐈 👦 👧 👨 in the next life Fully.. in the meantime You are an Angel guiding them and You are in their Hearts ❤ 💖 💗
I totally get it! This journey is not a walk in the park. I also had a very scary cancer journey. We were hit and Miss for a year. I had an aggressive form of Leukemia that led to a bone marrow transplant..all while my 3 boys were still in school. My team was amazing and reached out to a university hospital to help me. I also wrote the letters… that was just mentally draining. My goal was to see my oldest son graduate. That was 25 years ago! I now have 7 grandchildren and have been to their weddings! God is with you, Jenny! One day at a time..sometimes just one hour at a time.. I am praying for you! 🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻
Oh, Jenny, I look for your vlogs because I love the positive way you live, raising your children, the relationship you have with Kyle and your other families, and the medical people! As you say, “There is nothing like a mom.” So, so true!! Mine passed away 14 years ago when she was 84 years old. I am 74 now, and I still miss her. You have and are meeting this horrid challenge with such dignity even through tears. I love you so much and appreciate your example. My prayers include a healing miracle for you! ❤❤❤
So glad you wrote cards for your children angel Jenny, they will cherish it and will feel your love, company and advice. No more terrifying cancer anymore! Now you are in the presence of the most high ❤
Amen!
Kyle made videos just for he and the kids.
Definitely frightening. The worry about Kyle being without you, the kids & family & friends & of course missing out on seeing yr babies growing. It's just tragic. 😢
She wrote you cards/letters too Kyle!! Go find one and sit down with that pillow and one of Jenny's blanket and read it as many times as you need to. This is why she wrote them. To make you feel better.
I wonder if he reads them? It’s so heartbreaking 💔
Having to Live with one of the worse sickness can be exhausting but I still have to believe I can be healed.
@Casey Muller That’s nice, I have Been diagnosed with a cancer and I will definitely need her help and would also want to know how to get in touch with her. I hope she cures other sickness also?
@Casey Muller Thank you a lot you are a life saver. I have found her website on the internet.
Hi Jenny and Kyle. You recently won your battle with cancer and you're an angel now, but it's comforting to come to see your videos again. You are all such amazing humans, now one of you is an angel.
We hate cancer too. It is a terrifying, insidious disease.
My 4 year old nephew Avery has never known anything but pain, hospitals, surgeries, chemo and radiation.
He was diagnosed at 10 months but it’s an embryonal cancer, he had it before he was even born.
Our little guy can’t relapse again…a body can only have so much chemo & so much radiation in a lifetime.
Many people don’t realize that. You can’t revisit the meds that helped before you relapsed.
You guys aren’t alone. We know your fears & we are praying for you♥️
😢😢sending prayers🙏🏻🙏🏻
Sending love and light to all ❤🤗
I am thinking about you Avery. I have cancer too.
🤞❤️
I’m so so sorry 😢. Love and prayers 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
Jenny just wanted to share this with you. I am a gulf war veteran have been sick since about 1995. I have had really bad times in my life my wife and I thought several times that maybe I wouldn't make it. I know about planning for the future you may not be in. I am still here, still fighting married for 34 years. I put this Bible verse on my all of my refrigerators over the years. It's PLALMS 118 "" I SHALL NOT DIE, BUT LIVE AND DECLARE THE WORKS OF THE LORD"" This has definitely helped me I see it every morning and I DECLARE it over my life! Maybe this will help you also. Stay strong and never, never, never, never stop fighting, as long as you have breath than you can fight.
Beautifully said 👏 ❤️ 💙.
Take care, my friend .
Wishing you all the best 👍 👌
Love that! I also like Philippians 4:6-7 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in all things, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving make your requests known to God, and the peace of God that passes all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
@@CathyAFarr that's a good one also!
Many great scriptures that will empower u as u trust n believe standing firm on his promises daily 🙏🏼
👊🏼 I love this post
There’s nothing like a mom made me want to just weep. I often feel very down on myself and here you are. You are just lovely, Jenny. I wish so so so much that you would be miraculously healed.
Amen I could not have said it better. Please let the light shine on this family.
Yes please dear Jesus may we have a miracle 🙏
Amen to that.
🙏🏼 Amen
It’s hardly surprising you sometimes get emotional and cry Jenny, most of us do it regularly and we *don’t* have cancer! Sending lots of gentle hugs across the Atlantic ❤.
I was a nurse for 47years and one thing I would like to point out is everybody’s journey in life is their own and can not to be compared to somebody else’s journey. So Jenny even though you and your friend had the same diagnosis that doesn’t mean your journey will be the same.
You are a young wife and mom, wise beyond your years. Your tears are justified, you are not weak, you just love your family. Tomorrow is promised to none of us, you just learned at a young age the value of every single day. You are an inspiration and Kyle...well, God loves you too!
There is no day Jenny about not thinking of you and your kids. I pray for healing.
It's normal to be afraid, anxious and nervous. You've been doing so much, both of you. I think you guys need to take a little break. I wish I lived closer, I'd take your kids for the weekend and let you two have a nice stay-cation at home alone. You could sleep in, go to bed early, get some yummy take-out food, watch movies. Have a dance party. Whatever. Just take a well-deserved break. A "check-out from cancer" weekend. It would be good for your huge hearts and good for your loving souls ❤🤗 Wishing love and light to you both xoxo
Yes, me too but I live in the UK (horrible weather here😆) I would come if you needed me.
Me three, but Australia is even further to come and babysit! 😬
I have had cancer... always scary, totally sux. You're doing so well. Hardest part is keeping it together for your kids. Mine were 5 and 2. So hard.
@@Sammy-il1qf ❤ to you
Me too but I can't afford to get there- unfortunately
Hey!! Just want to say hi! I love you guys, 😍 cold, wet and awfull here in the 🇬🇧...but nothing new there 😆, wish we was all there to support you and of course we will all babysit for you! Keep smiling, sending love and hugs to you all 😘😘
My mom was diagnosed with lung cancer at 64 (non smoker) and had surgery, chemo and guess what? She beat it! Ten years later cancer free. I have only positive thoughts for you. ❤️❤️
Smoking makes not cancer.
@@aproposinkognito9169Jenny was never a smoker but smoking can cause cancer and then block your body from fighting it. 4 poisons in cigarette smoke can weaken the immune system.
Your doctor seems to be upfront with you. Oncologists are usually very honest with their patients. I worked in healthcare for 42 years in the pathology field. I’ve participated in multidisciplinary rounds. I really think that honesty is a prerequisite for oncologists. If your MD says your good, at the moment then go with it. I know it’s terrifying for you and Kyle but your MD will keep you posted, especially because you guys are so proactive.😊🇨🇦❤️
We were so fortunate when my mother had her parotid malignant cancer. I seriously doubt we would have made it to the end of radiation if it hadn't been for mum's oncologist, which brought my mother an additional ten years of life with me. Her Oncologist was literally available 24/7 to me. Giving pain relief advice at midnight with orders if the pain hadn't been relieved in two hour, to go straight into the Oncology Ward at the hospital, he would meet us there. Leaving prescriptions for us at the hospital. The list went on for months.
He had been calling me prior to her treatment enforcing the necessity of treating her cancer because her pain would have been horrendous until her death. Being Head and Neck cancer she not only had a six plus hour surgery, teeth removal prior to radiation and finally her 33 daily radiation treatments. It was so hard. It would have been so much better if her Doctors had listen to me when I started pointing out my mother's swollen side of her face, four years prior.
Unfortunately cancer affects the whole family. I just hope other cancer patients have wonderful Oncologists like my mother did. I am positive it had returned when she died at 88. She wouldn't go through anymore treatment so she stopped telling me about her pain. I still knew because I knew what pain meds she was needing daily. Cancer us hideous. It's cruel and often treatment doesn't seem like it is all worthwhile going through the treatment.
My mom has been fighting non-small cell lung cancer since 2017. Just got word there is a 6mm spot located in the right upper lobe. Last year it was in the lower left. Radiation took car of the left. I’m praying that this is non cancerous but my gut is saying something else. I pray for you Jenny along with my Mom. You are a sweet, strong and determined young lady and you got this Jen. You will beat this…. I hope you are able to get more pain control…
Jenny, a therapist is such a good idea 👍 Winnie said ‘thank you’ when you said snow was falling on her hair- she is sooooo beautiful , sweet and and very clever. ❤
You are the epitome of dignity, bravery and courage.
I can't get over how cute your babies are! Ellis looks like Kyle's mini me and Winnie has your smile, Jenny!
You two are diamonds. With a daughter who has cancer, I join you with the all the emotions that surround this diagnosis. Bless you for sharing your story with us.
Jenny it's ok to sob. It takes strength to write letters to your children in case you pass. Mentally going down that road to prep for what if is scary as Hell. Those letters are not easy, but such a special thing to write, to give them something personal from you, to give them comfort. You are powering through each day with a smile, love and grace. You are greatly ❤️ your family and so many subs.
I think both of you are doing so well and part of 'doing well' includes being sad and being tired of appointments and being fed up with waiting for news. I don't want you to have cancer, I don't want anyone to have cancer. I keep all of your family in my prayers. Sending a virtual hug from Edinburgh.
🙏♥️
What a beautiful lady you are Jenny, inside and out. Team Jenny sends you strength and love ❤️
Oh Jenny… I’m so so sorry. 😢 She should be here for her Kids, Kyle and family. I’m so sad for her… even though she has passed. 😢
Still can’t believe she’s gone 😞we know you’re in heaven Jenny. We know you’re watching over your family. They really need you. You were an earth angel, so I can’t imagine the beautiful heavenly angel you are. We miss you, but we know we’ll see you on the other side. I know for sure I be looking for you!❤
Don't be afraid to be picky with finding a great therapist. 😊
You both are so upbeat on this journey. Team work makes all the difference. Your children are so precious and a blessing to you. Prayers still going your way, always! An amazing family!
Sending the biggest of hugs darling Jenny - to say don’t worry seems inappropriate, how could you not worry or be afraid. You are so brave Jen, you got this beautiful lady 🙏🙏🙏🥰
There was a lady in my cancer group who kept getting rejected from hospice, lol. She gave up her animals and everything but the place said that she wasn't at that stage. She kept going back and they said nope. Not sure what happened to her as I drifted away from the group to live life, but it was amusing and she took it in good stride.
Your emotions will affect how you feel physically. Hard to do but try to enjoy every moment of life and worry when it's time to worry. Your husband is a trooper.
Wishing you both a really happy day. It is more than normal to be frightened - no need for apologies. You will both be strong and come through safely.
Oh Jenny, I'm so sorry. I'm older now, but as a young mother at one time,I can totally understand. Especially when your little ones' schedules are disrupted and they get emotional. I'm glad you are taking your pain meds & staying ahead of the pain. Your husband is a great sounding board for giving you perspective of where you are compared to the before.I have to say, your emotions are totally normal. I mean, who would raise their hand to say they want cancer? I'm amazed that in your videos, you express your emotions and get sad and then I see you being thankful and cheerful. I'm sure it is a roller coaster. I thank you for sharing your journey with us. You are such a beautiful person Jenny, and you have the best, loving family life. Grandma Kim❤️
Jenny and Kyle, I'm pretty new to your channel. I want so much to say something meaningful to you both...this is what I can offer. My Mom was diagnosed with colon cancer in 1992. She fought it just like you and lived ten more years. My point...that was a long time ago and treatment has come so far since then. You are so strong Jenny (Kyle too:)). I'm sending you extra Julia (My Mom) strength for your hardest times. It would be an honor if you could think of my Mom for hope on those days you may need a little bit extra. Much love and prayers for you all.❤️
Thank you I will!
Praying for healing in your body, Jenny. God knows your struggles and he is still in the healing business. Jesus not only shed his blood to redeem us from sin, but his body was broken for healing in our bodies. Much love and admiration to you and Kyle and the kids. Keep pressing forward. ❤️❤️
Im praying for your total healing. And your wonderful family👪❤️
Happy Thursday Tammie, That’s so thoughtful of you, Thanks for your positive review, How are you.. where are you from and how’s the weather over there?
I am rewatching all her videos and still can’t believe she is gone, for some reason I never thought she would go. What a fighter, and always so positive. The most amazing couple!!❤❤
I like you and respect very much how you decide to share your cancer journey. The honesty, clarity, no exaggeration. Just the plain honesty is so refreshing and human. I'm so disappointed to see a couple of cancer vloggers using their channels to "spice" and mislead about their diagnosis and treatments. Exaggerating the reactions and using pity to profit or just to "chase clout", which people nowadays loves to have, yes, even if they have cancer. I always say that being ill does not equal being good and people tend to assume cancer patients are God, nah!!! Not at all. Evil comes in all shapes.
That's why I appreciate your channel. You're a good, real and decent person sharing her struggle. Please continue and thank you because I'm learning about family life & marriage with you. Plus (this is my edit) you transmit so much peace with your voice. 😄❤
TT
man kyle is such a great husband !! and you are such a strong mom fighting not for your kids.
Good appointment good day
yes a new therapist will be helpful always good to talk
through your fears, I love the
family sleeping together thing
that is awesome
have my scan at city of hope in 2 weeks also, absolutely terrified as well. following your own struggle and journey gives me a lot of insight into mine. thank you for sharing
Jenny and Kyle, I’m so sorry for how scary that is. Continued prayers.❤️
I love it when you say that you forgot to video, because that means your family spent precious time together. I lost my husband to colon cancer seven years ago and my brother to lung cancer nine years ago - cancer causes so much pain and heartache. I pray that you will be blessed with many more years with your husband and children. ❤
Its her purity and heart and the way she genuinely wanted to live that inspires me. Anyone who watches her journey should thereafter appreciate their lives just a little bit more. Sending love and positive vibes to dad and the children!
As a mom I am sending you hugs and prayers....you are a beautiful soul who so deserves to spend forever here with your family.....praying for complete healing ..💜
I think it was incredibly brave for you to ask a really hard question.
I love that your doctor was honest with you. Knowing that he is an honest doctor hopefully gave you some comfort when he told you that you were nowhere near having to worry about what happened to your friend.
I am so glad that you are in good hands!❤❤❤❤
I’m a Mama and three time cancer survivor. I completely understand your fears and emotions. I cried while watching your video. The uncertainty is almost paralyzing. I live in Washington state. If you ever want to talk, please reach out day or night. ❤️ God bless you and your family.
Y’all are the sweetest family on you tube ❤
You have every right to cry and let it out whenever you need to. It’s good to actually get it out. I think about you guys all the time and only wish the best for you. I hate to see you in pain. Kyle you’re an awesome husband and you’re both amazing parents. Sending love and hope from Canada 🇨🇦
Hi Jenny. Sometimes after few sessions of therapy we feel we don’t need it anymore but I think we have to continue. I realised that, I thought I was doing well on my own but the therapist really gives you coping strategies. It’s not easy going through cancer. It’s so difficult 😢. We keep fighting. Lots of love ❤
Jenny, my heart breaks for you. I have cancer, but am NED now. I also am 68 years old, so I have lived my life and am not afraid of death, but I think about my older daughters and grandchildren not having me in their lives. You're being a Mom of young children is even harder. You have every right to have all of the feelings you're dealing with. You're a strong, loving woman, who doesn't deserve what you are dealing with. Hugs and love to you, Kyle and family. Congratulations that you were approved. 💕🙋✌🙂
I'm glad you asked a hard question we have been thinking it, so happy for what your doc said big hugs xx
Kyle, you are amazing soooo supportive and sensitive as well; ❤ and praying for NED x❤🌸🌺🌷🪷
You already had enough to contend with as soon as you were diagnosed but from one woman to another the constant period is really debilitating. For me it was endometriosis but still that near constant bleed, for you it's messing with your body and also your mind. You are so entitled to feel down and absolutely fed up with it all, we love you so much laughing or crying. X
AMEN!💗
You both rock. Nothing is impossible when love leads the way. Congratulations Jenny❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My nephew passed from Leukemia around six years ago. He had the most amazing attitude. He was such a trouper like Jenny
. It's awesome to see the bravery in Jenny as in my nephew. The inspiration they left us is tremendous. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Jenny, you will be there for all your kiddo moments. Either way. I'm 40 yrs old and lost mom to cancer at 33. And sometimes, she is more near than when she was here in the physical. When mom and I looked up near death experiences, that was our game changer. You both are a younger version of my dad and mom. They love truly, in love, like you both. My uncle Dan once said, " we are only passing through here." It's all true. Big hug, sweet peas. In our family prayers. All is well.
Hugs to you Jenny. I was a caregiver to my sister with her journey... which I know is emotional everyday. You are amazing and have a great support team around you ❤️
Oh it never rains in Southern California 🎵🎹
You have an army praying for you and your family! We expect nothing but good for you Jenny! Thank you so much for sharing the scenery of the lovely mountains with all of us, so beautiful and majestic! In the midst of all you are *going through* you manage to share beauty, joy, and such bravery! You are loved, all of you. We continue to believe for life, peace, and joy 🤩! Much love 💞
I always love how encouraging, positive and seeing the good in things that Kyle portrays. You can see and hear his love for you. Always praying for you and your family.
Oh my bonnie lassie,my heart is breaking for you,you must be totally terrified,it’s understandable anyone would be !You always try and show us a brave face,but it’s probably on your mind 24/ 7 I pray for you daily,and also pray at night ,as all of your followers do. Love from Scotland 🏴 Jenny x x x x
You are so brave! It’s perfectly healthy to cry and talk about your anxiety, you’re a fighter every day, with or without fear. ❤
Kyle is amazing ♥️ you're amazing and such a beautiful soul♥️ and of course the babies are amazing too ♥️
As a mom, I just want to give you a huge hug and tell you everything will be okay. Trust in your healthcare team. You are all in my thought and prayers.
I am so happy for you guys xxx
Praying for you 🙏 ❤️
Praying for you everyday Jenny.🙏
I like that you shared about your friend dying, and I thought your doctor’s response was golden! I don’t have cancer, but in any health condition having an honest, open doctor is crucial. I’m happy for you, that you have that.
I’m also so happy you’ll be getting back into counseling. I go to counseling myself. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
thank you for posting when it’s the middle of the night for me on the east coast, it helps me get through my insomnia. sending love and strength from canada🙏🏻
