    Hi Jessica, I am a surgeon, and I just wanted to let you know that I have really loved your and Brian’s videos for a while now. I think your videos are not only making such a big impact on patients who are going through a similar process, but it also has a positive impact on medical professionals and medical trainees by providing such a thorough, thoughtful, and engaging patient perspective. Just wanted to wish you well on your upcoming surgery, and let me know if I can help in any way. The whole medical process can be super confusing and overwhelming so I am glad you have a great team to support you. ❤

    I'm on a parallel path to you Jessica (I am 43 and diagnosed with high grade serous OC in July) and I think this is very good news. I had complete debulking surgery at MSK-Stage IV, but they were able to get everything out. My understanding is generally they proceed with surgery if they think they can get all or most of it. It is a big surgery, a little scary, and recovery has taken patience but progress has been steady. I'm still making my way through chemo. Thank you for sharing your journey so openly, it has helped me feel less alone.

    Sounds hopeful to me! As someone who went through cancer a few years ago and came out of the very surreal experience that cancer puts you through and was 'cured' (a word my doctor even used!), I always felt, if there were options, there was hope. Your doctors definitely seem to feel they have options in your case! Lots of respect for you both and how you are documenting this and handling it all. I am sure there will be many you are helping by honestly sharing your journey and it will give them the courage to face their own experience.

    I think this is a positive thing, Jessica. I was diagnosed with OC last year. My gyn onc went in and did my debulking surgery first. Total hysterectomy and removal of the tumors, then I went through five months of debilitating chemo. After a CT and pet scan, I am cancer free, thank God, and have been for over a year now. I still go in every three months for my CA-125 blood test and doctor’s appointment, but it is necessary to keep on top of everything. You can do this. Just believe and trust in God that everything is going to be okay.

Not even the neurosurgeon thought he'd get through it. I'll never forget the neurosurgeon's face at the conclusion of the procedure...when he came out to speak with my mom and I. The doctor put his hand on his head and said, "He did great." All of us were in disbelief. My dad lived into his 90's. Quality of life was excellent. You just never know. Go into this believing you'll come out the other end of this better than you are now.

    From what I hear in your videos, you are doing everything you can do - being a good patient, but being proactive on your own part. Brian is doing everything he can possibly do - giving you encouragement, having your back and feeding you the most nourishing food that he can provide. You are taking care of you!
    Now, the doctors with their review boards are not just relying on their own capabilities, but calling in other specialists to advise them. The biggest part is worry over what everybody does not know.
    I think the further surgery is necessary to get more information. They will know more after that. I hope the results will lead to a definite path to follow as you travel through this.

I'm very encouraged by your diagnosis. The fact that the cancer has NOT metastasized after all this time is awesome news! it.

    Surgery is very VERY good news - and having had a complete oopho hysterectomy with omentum (tummy fat flap) removal for endometroid ovarian cancer I can say from experience that the relief following it getting done and getting the damn stuff out, makes the recovery not nearly as challenging as I expected and hopefully it will feel the same for you.
    My surgery was delayed 3 months as the tumour had caused blood clots in legs and lungs so they had to get that sorted first. It’s great, they are treating you not just managing you. 👍👍👍💐💐💐

      This sounds very similar to my diagnosis and surgeries back in 2010/11, interspersed with 6 months of Taxol Carbo chemotherapy. I too had two DVTs, caused through the sheer mass of my endometroid ovarian tumour, plus a pleural effusion. I had to have Heparin injections (shots) plus an inferior Vena Cava filter inserted prior to my first emergency surgery, to trap any clots that could have travelled to my heart/lungs/brain.
      I had 12.5 litres (nearly 22pints) of fluid drained from my abdomen during my first surgery - debulking hysterectomy/oophorectomy. Following histology, it was discovered that I also had endometrial carcinoma, so my MDT (multi-disciplinary team), similar to your tumour panel, decided on a second surgery to remove my cervix (which had to be left in situ during my first surgery because of complications) following the planned chemotherapy.
      I’m now 12 years down the road, which has been rocky at times, but Jessica and Brian, there is hope … positivity and faith is key … sending much love from the UK. ❤️❤️❤️xxx

I personally feel like the debulk is positive and I'm glad they've decided to remove the lesions they see on the liver. I am very hopeful that by this it will lead to more definitive answers. Very positive forward step...they would absolutely not be doing this if they thought it wouldn't be fruitful. God does have this! I am going to stand in this for you both.

    I’ve been following your story as I too was diagnosed with cancer in March this year. Stage 3c ovarian cancer, but I am 65 years old. My heart breaks knowing how young you are to have your future change in a moment. When you share your feelings, I can so relate yet not because of our age difference. My case is straight forward unlike yours. I found out because I had fluid (ascitesj causing horrible pain in my abdomen that had to be drained multiple times until the second chemo treatment reduced it. This fluid was filled with cancer cells which bathed my peritoneal cavity possibly leaving cells for future growth. I did have a couple of very small spots that have shrunk with chemo based on the 3 follow up CAT scans. I was amazed when you said that your CA 125 came back normal. Mine was over 1600 originally and after my 9th chemo is now in the normal range (29j. I’m elated. I am on the same chemo drugs as you as well as avastin at my 6th chemo and after. I also get a shot to increase my bone marrow production of infection fighting cells. I had a total hysterectomy (July 11th 2022) and omentum removal and debulking 4 weeks after my 4th infusion. I was very frightened for complications and pain but despite the long incision, I felt it was much easier then I expected. I wish the same for you. have had 2 cesarean surgeries and this was comparable. It helped that we purchased an electric recliner and my husband placed a bar near the shower and toilet to help me pull up. Also having the 8 week break from chemo gave me energy to recuperate and convince me that I will feel more normal again. I hope u experience that same feeling and thoughts. My doctor did increase the number of further infusions after my surgery. Originally it was 8 but he increased to 10 just as precaution against the fluid that was originally found. Like you, I just wanted surgery, like you, to have a better chance at life. Today I just finished my 10th and last chemo (hopefully). These last 3 really have drained me but I know after one more post chemo week to ten days I will start to feel stronger. Then another cat scan and discussion of maintenance treatment. As you know…one step at a time. Your mind can’t handle too much at one time. I just want to assure you that it is amazing how fast your body can heal. I know your initial surgery was tough but you were suffering terribly with that mass on your ureter. Hopefully this time your healing will be easier. Thank you for sharing your story. You and Brian are a strong couple and are helping so many of us going thru similar circumstances. My heart and positive thoughts are with you. ❤️

      I’m in a similar situation. Despite my fears of getting my stomach opened all the way down, surgery was a breeze. Just take some small cans of prune juice with you for constipation. Ask the nurse to heat one up and drink it first thing in the a.m. , wait a half hour, then heat and drink the second one.
      Before surgery, I ordered a really comfy Golden Twilight electric lift chair and it’s the best. Super comfy and it even sleeps as comfortably as my bed.

    I'm so glad you're feeling hope. My cousin had OV and had very poor treatment with the worst outcome. I'll tell you a little story. When I was going through stage 4 breast cancer surgery (mastectomy, chemo, radio, bone marrow transplant) Olivia Newton John was diagnosed with breast cancer and had breast conserving cancer ie: they did the excision around the cancer they could see. It was done in Melbourne so very much in the Australian media. My Sydney surgeon and I discussed it and he said her cancer would return and he was sorry to say he thought she would die younger than was necessary because she hadn't had a mastectomy (this breast conserving surgery was offered to me by a different surgeon, and thank God my instinct was to get another opinion). I felt very sad when she died recently and had never forgotten what my wonderful surgeon had saidt

    I think surgery, as scary as it may seem, is a positive thing and very hopeful. Your doctors are working to make sure they have all the options to get your through this journey. Blessings to you and hang in there. Thank you for sharing your experience with all of us. You are very fortunate indeed to have wonderful doctors behind you. ❤️

    I have stage 3 cervical cancer and have completed chemo and radiation, waiting for scans in January to see if it has gone or whether I will need a hysterectomy as it’s in my ovary too. Sending you all the hope and love in the world, keep going ❤

    Surgery would allow the doctors to actually see what can’t be seen on the outside. And they would be able to get good biopsies. It gives me hope. I’m praying for you… ❤ 🙏🏻 🌺 Thank you for keeping us updated!

    Dear Jessica...my heart goes out to you and Brian! I am a breast cancer survivor since 2009 and I am now 66 years old. Please do not lose hope! The surgery sounds like that will give drs more answers and take out more cancer cells... A complete hysterectomy is not an easy surgery even without the OC. I know as I had one when I was 39. So recovery from it will take time and slow. I am glad they will give you a pet scan to see if you will.light up in.other areas. Keep up the greens whole foid blender smoothies. Check out Chris Beat Cancer u tube. Dr Mc dougal. Dr Brooke Goldner. Be proactive with a clean green diet for healing your body and adding foods that kill off cancer cells. Green tea...bluberries..broccoli.
    Huge hugs to you both! ❤️💞

    It’s a blessing to have such a good team working on your case!! You’re off the book as you say so it’s perfect they’re going off the book for you!!! Let’s get it OUT and get rid of any there and keep you moving on in your beautiful path.
    It’s intense surgery but you’re an amazing spirit and let’s all visualize you healing well and quickly.
    I always have myself and clients look out 3 weeks from the surgery date and see themselves healed a lot and it helps our subconscious know we’re going to heal and work towards that as well.
    Wishing you both the best always! ❤

    Prayers for you Jessica. These times are so crazy. When the doctors look to see if cancer exists in that particular area. And the doctors can see the cancer by looking inside the body, and tell you it spread. I think they want to be certain what is going on with the cancer. I think things sound good, it looks like they are doing prevention measures. My uncle had got pancreatic cancer and he had to do surgery, and the doctors said the cancer had spread too much. He got sick in June with flu like symptoms. They did the surgery in September and said they he would die. Most the doctors will tell you straight.

    Greetings Jessica, I am so glad you have Brian to be supportive to you. I had Endometrial Cancer earlier this year and was ref. to a Gyn Oncologist at UofWa. she is totally wonderful, I honestly don't know what I would do without her. I had robotic, laproscopic vaginal hysterectomy as well as both ovaries, fallopian tubes, and cervix removed. I know it doesn't sound like fun, but quite honestly, it was so much easier than I expected. My daughter gave me a used electric recliner; that, along with an electric throw helped alot. I didn't have any pain in the shoulders from gas from when the abdomen is inflated. Recovery wasn't so easy at first

    Wow. I know it's a major abdominal surgery but also, getting in there and physically getting cancer out sounds so hopeful to me too. (I know they'll be removing more than just the cancer) These sound like really solid steps forward.

  • @sjordan7085
    @sjordan7085 Год назад

    cont. but I am much, much older than you, and I felt better with each passing day. My cancer risk is now less than 4%, and my Oncologist is totally impressed, that I stick to my plant-based, organic whole foods diet, I also had brachytherapy which I was not expecting. But, now, I feel amazing ,and my risk of recurrence continues to decrease. I have check-ups every three months, for two years, then every six months for one year. Keeping you in my thoughts, and sending you both love and light
