Hi I hope you will heal soon I really would recommend you to try natural products to help you heal 😊 💜
@@aganethamartens4850 What natural products do you believe can cure someone of cancer?
@@jackschitt6235 the products from immunotec it is very good stuff
@@aganethamartens4850 That's an MLM thing according to my Google search. Multi-level marketing. I don't know if you are trying to sell the stuff or not but the MLM companies/people are notorious for making outrageous claims for what their products can do. I'm sure you mean well but I wouldn't be too quick to believe whatever claims being made by the people trying to make money selling the stuff. Good luck to you though either way.
💞🙏💕🙌💗
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. ❤
Remember, surgical pain has an end to it. My friend had stage 4 colon cancer at age 40, metastasized to her liver. I had no hope for her, but she is now 70 years old and leads a full life. Hugs to both of you
Congrats to your friend! I am a 9 years colon cancer survivor and they thought it was in my liver, but thank GOD it was not. I was stage 3... I'm also a 2-time breast cancer survivor..
👍🏻❤️
I’m 44 and fighting Stage IV colon cancer. Thank you for the reminder of what is possible ❤
What a great testimony ~ there are always exceptions to rules!
@@Redjools78 God bless you, dear one.
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.

As a nurse and a breast cancer survivor, I think the planned surgery should give you hope. Sending you much love!!!!
Watching Brian struggle through delivering that sign off and Jessica barely managing to say “yes” instead of her “that’s definitely all I got” tagline freaking broke my heart. You guys sharing all of this DEEPLY personal stuff is a huge sacrifice and by doing it you are making an immeasurably positive impact. But you can’t pour from an empty cup, as they say. We all want you guys to put yourselves first. Don’t feel too obligated (or at all obligated) to the channel. Love you.
I think it is good for them and I am happy to be here for them.
I just had my debulking surgery one week ago, for stage 3 ovarian cancer. I feel so relieved now. It’s a big surgery, but so necessary. I also got a chemo wash during the surgery. I was lucky did not metastasize. The recovery is slow, still having belly cramps, but it’s ok with medicine. I wish you all the best Jessica, you will be totally fine!!!.. Big hug from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 ❤
As a 6yr Ovarian Cancer Survivor I completely understand. The debulking surgery is very detailed and I believe necessary. Sounds like your medical team is on top of your care. You are stronger then you realize. Hang in there. You can reach out to me at any time.
I am an 18 years ovarian cancer survivor and also had this surgery. I think it was worth it. I am praying for you, Jessica.
Jessica, I believe surgery is a positive step forward! I also had surgeries for Ovarian cancer. I was uncertain going in, but surprisingly relieved once they were done. The surgeries alleviated my worries about my uterus or other ovary becoming cancerous in the future. I hope that makes sense. Brian, I too feel positive and better about this treatment option. Jessica, please know that you are loved SO Much! Praying for hope, peace, and joy in the midst of this very difficult time. You are both such beautiful people! Thank you for allowing all of us to share in your journey. 💗
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.
Sending you lots of prayers and hugs. You got this and you have all of us supporting you and walking this path with you. I will be saying prayers and sending love.
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.
Stay strong. A dear friend has gone through a path similar to yours…20 years later she’s doing well. I’m a breast cancer and more recently leukemia survivor. I think it’s a good sign the doctors want to do surgery for you. It’s a lot to deal with, but it seems hopeful. ❤️
I realize that you may not be doing cartwheels, but this sounds so promising. I'm excited for you. All the best. Different set of circumstances, but my dad had a 5+hour craniotomy at age 86. 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.
I am grateful you are surrounded by people willing to keep digging for info!!!
I agree.
If the doctors didn’t think you could beat this - they wouldn’t do the surgery.
This is definitely hopeful, I will continue to send positive energy your way Jessica and Brian.
@teresateresa8933. She doesn't need positive energy friend Jessica needs prayers as we all do!!!
@@danacaro-herman3530 you do you
Stay strong beautiful!! You got this!! Cancer messed with the wrong one!! My 6 year old is going through cancer treatment as well and lost his eyebrows and eyelashes. They are finally growing back! We are all fighting this together 🙏🏽🫶🏽💪🏽👊🏽
Prayers for you, your 6 yr old & family! 💛🙏🏼
My cousin’s son had a debulking and when the surgeon went in, there was only scar tissue. I know it was a different kind of cancer, but it was unexpected and positive news. Anything’s possible!! Hang in there❤️
Surgery will almost certainly give you answers. More information. More data. It feels like progress, even though I understand it’s scary. Keep fighting. You’re both in my prayers. 🙏🏻
In the middle of a breast cancer fight right now. Chemo ended on 9/1 and I'm 5 weeks post surgery. 6 weeks of radiation starts on 11/30.
I got my eyebrows and eyelashes back 2 or 3 weeks ago, and my hair is just starting to come back in now.
Like other posters have commented, they would not be doing the surgery if they had no hope, so this is a GOOD thing. Stay strong and keep fighting. You're an inspiration for all of us!! 💞💕
Jessica we're sending lots of hugs & love! 💞
Waiting for the doctor's call must have seemed like an eternity. I'm glad it gave you both a little hope. You are fortunate, Jessica, to have such a great team of doctors working with you on this. I hope the surgery will give them some answers that will help with your treatment.
Hope seems like a little thing but in reality it is HUGE. So good the see hope in your faces. It means a great deal in recovery, when your Drs give you hope. A wonderful gift. I will continue to pray for God's hand in these situations. You are a beautiful woman!
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.
God bless and God speed!
I had a total hysterectomy in 2015. Although the cancer was confined to the uterine lining alone, they took everything to prevent the possibility of metastasis. For that I am grateful! I'm very encouraged by your diagnosis. The fact that the cancer has NOT metastasized after all this time is awesome news! it. Even if the doctors advise to remove part of your liver...it will grow back. We are truly "fearfully and wonderfully made"! You and Brian go celebrate this news.
I loved hearing your story too because 3 years ago I had endometrial cancer. It gives me hope that you have done so well. Hugs and prayers.
I too had a total hysterectomy for endometrial cancer 15 years ago. No problems since.
I also had endometrial cancer that resulted in total hysterectomy. In the six years since I have had multiple episodes of vaginal bleeding, which led to more biopsies. So far the results are in my favour.
Wishing you all the best outcomes too, Jessica!
Based on my personal experience, I can say this sounds super positive to me. You both are doing EVERYTHING right, and clearly Jessica's team is doing the same. I would take this as good news. Bless BOTH of you and your attitudes and honesty. Thank you for sharing YOUR journey; every single patient's journey is as individual as they are, but your generosity in sharing this journey, WILL help many others facing a cancer diagnosis. (I rarely comment on videos, but felt compelled to, today.) ❤🙏
I’m so sorry that you are having to go through this. You are so brave. Your candid updates are appreciated and reminds us to continue in our efforts to offer support and prayers. Keep fighting!
I’m a nurse and keratin granuloma is fine❤
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. 👍👍👍💐💐💐
@Shetland Sheep
@Krocks in the Kitchen
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
We are continuing to pray for both you and Brian. I'm going to stand in faith that if they don't see it then it isn't there and that whatever is there will end up being nothing. 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. Love and hugs from Alabama!!! 💝💝💝🙏
My mom had an aggressive form of breast cancer and went through chemo/radiation planning for her surgery. They went in to do a lumpectomy and the tumor was completely gone even though it was visible just prior to her surgery. They did remove a few lymph nodes because it had spread. That was four years ago and she's doing very well. Miracles happen!!!!!
I have to say I am a big fan of your attitude, outlook and courage. You are so graceful Jessica, I’m sure not only are you going to come out on the other side but come out with lot more courage, compassion, character and life.
Just keep up the positive attitude...you do have a beautiful clear face. Wishing you well and sending love to you both from a New Zealand viewer
It’s a roller coaster guys. We have so many expectations we have of modern medicine and it is a process, a journey. But I’m so glad you have hope. Glad you have each other. We’re all wishing you strength and the best outcome possible.
I feel this is good news. I was treated at Mayo in Jacksonville for a gyno cancer stage 4a. The doctors at Mayo are the best. I love how they work as a team to figure out the best care for their patients. I know how difficult this journey is for the two of you but know Mayo will keeping working to figure this out. Hugs to both of you! ❤
I had ovarian cancer. It sounds to me like this is good news. It also sounds like you have a top-notch medical team. So glad for you.
From one cancer survivor to another, I celebrate the compassion and support you are receiving. My prayer is for your heart to be comforted and encouraged.
I agree that this is good news. The doctors have changed from Defense to Offense. Continuing to hold you both in prayer. ❤
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.
Yes laxatives and prunes were a help and I love my recliner. A lift chair would have been an added bonus. After 10 chemo treatments, my strength is low and I would benefit from the lift now. Best to you on your healing journey. We can beat this.
This really sounds like good news. I had an abdominal hysterectomy/oophorectomy, during which my cervix was also removed, when I was 33. It wasn’t fun, but it was totally manageable, and I’m a much bigger wooss than you are. Fingers crossed that you continue on your own unique path, defy any negative expectations, and heal better and more completely than anyone could have imagined. One step at a time, and lots of love and life along the way!
It feels like they are doing all they can. And I am praying and believing for wisdom for the doctors and healing for you Jessica. thanks for sharing guys.
I'm so glad you have Brian by your side. Continued prayers for complete healing.
So glad to hear from you again. Only the best wishes for you! Breast cancer survivor, I am. So I can relate. Keep us updated...we care!
Hang in there, Jessica & Brian! We are behind.you 100%.
This sounds very promising! The fact that they’re talking about surgery that is not palliative is wonderful! Never give up hope and whatever you’re doing as far as positive affirmations/thoughts, keep doing it!🙏🏻❤❤️🙏🏻
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
It also sounds like they want to get a visual to see where these small spots are. And if they see them, they intend to get them. Sounds like they have your best interest in mind and want to do their best to get anything they can see. My mom had this done twice. Recovery was painful, but worth it. Remember that: it was worth it. ❤
I pray that you can continue to have HOPE in your heart. I love hearing that you aren't giving up.
Praying for everyone. 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤
Knowing that they have a plan makes me feel better. This seems like good news to me. I am praying for you both. Love you both❤️
I have been praying for complete healing. I believe God will heal you and it definitely could happen that the cancer is gone. I will continue to pray. 🙏🏻❤️
Continuing to pray your complete healing. I'm with you in thinking that they may find nothing when they do this surgery, and all cancer is gone. Miraculous things do happen.
I’m praying for you Jessica and you will get through this. Mayo clinic is the best place to have this surgery. I’ve been there and I was amazed at the level of care they give their patients. Aloha
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 ❤
Just wanted to offer a little support for travels. It does sound better now
that they are proceeding with surgery.
I feel your pain. I was diagnosed with high grade serous adenocarcinoma in early July of this year. Had 2 surgeries and 25 radiation treatments and have bounced back. Keep looking for the light at the end of the tunnel. It is there I promise you. ❤❤❤Your precious hubby and family have your back. Be strong and know I am silently cheering you on!
There is ALWAYS hope. Never forget that. Continuing to send love, hugs, and healing light to you both! ❤️🙏🏻
I've been praying for complete healing. 🙏 You both are Amazing! Love you and your sweet dog. ❤
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!
That's definitely good news!!!!. I am so happy for you both!
Surgery sounds a lot more curative!!!!!!
Thanks so much for the quick update!!!!. You are just helping so many people here...
Sounds like everyone, and you are being PRO active and that is Always a Good thing. Keep hanging in there girlie girl.
The Mayo clinic is fabulous isn't it? You are in the best hands. Surgery is always intense but you've been through it so you know. Prayers for you.
One of my colleagues had ovarian cancer. She was given 6 months. They did the same surgery as yourself on her including a liver resection and she lived six years. Wishing you all the luck in the world. Sending positive vibes Jessica. All the best. You’ve got this.
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! ❤️💞
I’m feeling full of hope for you!! Thank you for updating us. Continuing to pray for both of you!
Yes, keep fighting, Jessica. You’re going to win this! I’m praying for you and Brian, and for your wonderful team of professionals who are fighting with you!
I know exactly how you feel hunny I'm a single mum of 1 and diagnosed 11 April this year with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer xx
Sending you lots of good thoughts…
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! ❤
I think this is actually good news and it sounds like they are leaving no stones unturned. I will continue to keep you and Brian in my thoughts and prayers! ❤
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.
Im so glad they're doing what they have to to find answers for you. This must be so stressful and overwhelming, but overall the go ahead for removal surgery in cancer cases is always good news.
This seems like very good news, Jessica! The fact that they think surgery is beneficial is a good thing! You might finally get the answers you’ve been looking for and they might be very good answers!!sending prayers
Many prayers for both of you and for your medical team as well. 🧡🧡🧡🙏🙏🙏
We're twinning on the eyebrows, eyelashes and our next chemo date. Praying that surgery provides the answers the doctors need. Sending prayers and positive vibes your way.
I am thinking about you guys often. You are so optimistic and I love watching how you are making your lives healthier. Know people are rooting for you and keep fighting.
This is very, very hopeful Jessica and Brian. Keep hope alive in your heart and we will all do the same. Sending love.
Hang in there baby! I think there is hope. I will pray for your healing.
You are headed for healing...no question...I believe your plant based diet is definitely helping your body get better and you should have hope...you will be blessed with health....really! Don't be sad....you are amazing and you will get better!!
You have a great team of doctors on your side. As you said Jessica 'as long as they're going to keep fighting I'm going to keep fighting'. Sending love and prayers to you both - it is encouraging news ❤❤❤
I look for your posts. Thank you so much for sharing such HARD stuff. I’m so hopeful today. Really feel your team at Mayo Clinic are coming up with the best and you keep eating your best
I hope for the best for you both. It takes incredible courage to go through this journey. We’re all rooting for you❤
As hard as this is to hear and go thru on your part. This is a blessing. As a retired nurse finding the cause and answer is so important. This is positive! The post op pain can be treated and gets better very quickly. Stay positive. You both are so supportive of each other. Thank you for not being afraid to share. You are helping others in your position. Much love and prayers to both of you. There is so much hope and positivity ahead.
We all love you and are praying for you! 🙏🕊️❤️
Baby steps! To recovery and to being healthy! God bless you!!❤️🙏🏻
I agree with others, surgery gives sign of hope. The not knowing and just waiting is the hardest part. Now you have an advanced plan of action. 😘🙏
What a hopeful call from the doctors. Stay positive and keep fighting this. You are amazing people and it is easy to get down at a time like this but you have a team that really is on your side and helping you to get through this.
I have no background in medicine but this does sound really hopeful. It sounded before like they were almost looking at palliative care. This sounds like there could be a cure. I think that’s wonderful! Sweet girl you’ve got this. You’re surrounded by so much love and hope and light. By the way, I love that Peef is right there with you. And…..you is not weird, you is unique and wonderful! You are LOVED!!
You are both so brave and giving, sharing your story with us. I hope you do well with your treatments and come out of this with flying colors. Prayers, and healing wishes for you both. 🙏🙏
Finally, I’m so happy for you! This really does represent a shift in their optimism for your case.
Sounds like a positive game plan. Any hysterectomy is a big surgery. PET scans are more comprehensive. Sounds like you have a good team working hard to help you any way they can. YOU GOT THIS! Much love❤
Sounds like some really nice directions being followed by your medical team.. This call and discussion will lend itself well to your Thanksgiving. Prayers are coming from Chester, VA. Be strong!
So happy there are treatment options for you and hopefully they will be able to find out what they need to know for treatment plans in the future; if even needed at all! What wonderful news that would be!
I found your Channel in 2018 when I first went plant based after being treated for low grade lymphoma with radiotherapy. Sadly my cancer is back and I’m facing chemotherapy. I was looking a blogs to help me and your face popped up. So sad to hear your news and completely understand how you are feeling.
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
You're both being so strong. Please, you have my heatfelt wishes to recover. Love you both.
It's so nice to have next steps and a plan in place! I feel hopeful for you, and I'm continuing to pray for healing!
Take care; big hugs to BOTH of you from Mexico City.
As long as there are things that can be done, sounds hopeful to me. Hugs to you❤️
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.
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
My prayers are with you Jessica for the healing and peace of God to be with you. God’s got you in His Mighty Healing Hands! In Isaiah 53:5 “…and with his stripes we are healed.” Also praying for Brian as well for strength and peace. Sending love and prayers from NC.
I feel like this is good news! Keep fighting! You have a whole community of people praying for you!
I definitely think this is good news. Continuing to send prayers your way! 💕
