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 have no idea how she kept pushing and pushing herself through such horrible treatments. I felt so sorry for her….and all the vlogs where she was scared, anxiety ridden, so sick and tired of doing more and more treatments even after she was told the cancer has spread to her right lung, more lessons in her brain, LMD, etc…but I also realize she did every bit of it for her kids and Kyle. She was just completely exhausted and sick the whole entire journey. Love her!! ❤. RIP Jenny….we all miss you so much.
Yes I agree , she pushed through until the end , no more suffering , RIP sweet Jenny
What an amazing woman! Such strength, such grace and and so giving.😢
What about going to Build A Bear and have a recording of Jenny’s heartbeat put inside so the kids will always be able to hear her heart. Praying for you all♥️🙏🏾
😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭
I love this idea. That’s amazing
Great idea!!!
I ❤ this!

My husband recently retired as a Radiation Oncologist. When he was working full-time, he would often come home with stories of an incredible patient he had met that day. Jenny, you would have been on his Top 5 List!
He told me not to watch videos about, for or by cancer survivors when I was diagnosed with breast cancer in November 2022. I usually listen to him, but clearly, I did not in this situation. I have LOVED your videos - and Kyle’s. Fortunately, we expect me to be cured. I feel a little guilty when I watch your videos … but also very optimistic. 💕💕💕
I think your husband would agree this is a good one! These 2 are great. Wonderful people.
I understand you're feeling guilty. But Jenny would be happy for you, and so am I. Stay healthy, sweetie.
If you're in canada, he probably doesn't want you to see how much better treatment is in the US. LOL
Alisoneichler - I was diagnosed with breast cancer when my kids were 6 and 4. I went through 6 rounds of very rough chemo. That was 31 years ago. Congrats on joining our special club of survivors
If I ever have to face cancer I really hope I'm ready to kick its ass and fight like you do, Jenny. You're an inspiration to many!! 💪
❤
My sister in law fought like her fir 20 years, kidney, lung, then bone and even there she survived two years beyond positive attitude she had
I agree ❤ She is fighting so hard!! I'm praying for a miracle for this family.🙏🏽
I LOVE WHAT YOU HAD TO SAY! GREAT WORDS ❤
I have thought the same thing if I ever go through cancer I hope I handle everything is well is Jenny our dear dear Jenny! I adore you!! MICHAEL B IS THE WINNER!!
Jenny, you are an inspiration. The gift of your heartfelt cards will be among the most precious gifts your children will receive throughout their young lives. Engagements, weddings, babies...you'll be right there with them, guiding them.
Yes
So true ❤🙏🏻✌🏻
At 6:23 time stamp I saw an orb and it just reminded me of how graceful she is!
@@amandamiller7926 yes you are right x saw it too, would you know the meaning of this orb please? So beautiful x

Kyle is such a great match for Jenny!!! I love how he always balances her out with positivity!! Even when things look bleak he always finds positivity to help her feel better!!!
Probably one of the nicest genuine human beings in the world to be honest.
He truly is the one in 100 million.
@@GorgyPorgy65 my sons a kyle hes very loving kind .And i totally agree with you
Be very proud you have raised such a fine man.@@kevinleonard8234
Perfect partners in crime that's for sure
Hello Jenny and Kyle, I have never commented just been a Lurker until now . I lost my mum to cancer when she was 37 and I was 4.
I never got to say goodbye even a 4 year old needs some closure. So it was all just kept away from me and my brothers like a secret.
I never said goodbye . Never went to her funeral and was told when I asked that she was a frikin star in the sky . To a 4 year old!! Keep doing what your doing and your children will be full of knowledge and understanding ❤
I bet this brings them some comfort knowing they are doing a great future comfort for their babies. Sending you deep love and comfort in that painful loss years ago
They did their best.
My mom was 25 when she died; I was 3 and my little sister was 6mos. No one to this day ever wanted to mention her. Am now 38.
I always feel like she never existed and it hurts
@Dollydaydream Im so sorry that happened to you, because it happened to my mom when she was 9. She knew something was wrong, when she got up and there were relatives in the house but her mother was not preparing breakfast. When she tried to go into her mom's room, she as stopped. An aunt helped she and her brother to get ready for school and drove them there. When she arrived home, the aunt said that "mommy has gone to Heaven". She knew a funeral was held but not allowed to attend. Her father was heartbroken, and even took on a fulltime nanny to care for the children. Mom was very close to her dad, but didn't want to upset him by asking questions.
It was one year before he took her to the grave. She saw her mom's name and date of death but it didn't help.
It has affected her whole life. All she needed was to see her mom, dead or alive. It is so cruel to just "protect" children from the truth. They are very wise and can understand death. They can cope with seeing the parent lying in a coffin, and saying goodbye. Kyle and Jenny are doing a wonderful job of preparing the children for whatever happens. Leaving letters and cards for them, and making videos, will keep Jenny in their hearts. They have wonderful families and friends. It will not be easy, but they won't feel abandoned and confused.
I think the version of white Xmas you’re talking about is maybe the Michael Buble and Shania Twain version? With that country twang….. I love it ! Sending hugs from Glasgow, Scotland 🥰🥰🏴🏴🏴 xx
Doctors are not always right 6-9
Months can easily change to 6-9 years. You got this Jenny, I'm sure there are thousand of prayer going out for you.. 💜
My great great grandfather is Bing Crosby. He sang White Christmas.
Jenny, you are such an inspiration! You have an amazing husband in Kyle!!
I'm at the very beginning of my lung cancer journey. I appreciate you sharing your journey with all the transparency. I am continuing to pray for you and your family.❤
My mum loves penguins. I've gifted her a number of glass penguin ornaments, plus a wooden one I crafted for her. Is your penguin a Melissa and Doug brand? Thanks, Jenny.
He's definitely a favorite of mine and I loved his duet with David Bowie.
Also I have a double biopsy on my right lung at the end of the month. Afraid but hanging in there. I'll pray for you.
Wow that’s an honour
Wow how cool,to be related to Bing Crosby, the Best White Christmas singer of all time. Good thoughts for your fight against lung cancer. I’m so sorry you have this gross disease.
It's wonderful that you are doing future boxes for the kids, and including things for the major milestones. This will help them throughout their lives, as you intend. Their momma, always, always with them.
Our Bell ringing Hero! We love you Jenny!
Not a day goes by we don't have you and Kyle in our thoughts. ❤
A great name for the penguin would be "Hope"...for your hospital, for a constant mental attitude of your impending challenges. Be safe, be well Ms. Jenny!
Perfect. ❤
HOPE Hang on pain ends. ❤
Jenny, name your penguin HOPE after this wonderful facility, with the wonderful team, that cares about you SO much! The ending with Ellis asleep and hugging the penguin is so precious! Sending my love and gentle hugs from steamy Georgia.❤🫂 Keep fighting, Jenny, and don't lose hope. 💪 I'm still praying for miracle of healing!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Oh wow! That's the name that came to me immediately! Hope! My favorite word.
I agree with the name.
I'm a nurse and I know getting enough nutrition while on cancer treatment is difficult. Doctors I worked with suggest drinking a shake or smoothie and sip on one constantly while you're awake. Hopefully you can get enough calories and protein that way if you can't eat a meal or drink a full shake or smoothie.
You and Kyle are incredible people and you have lovely children.
My heart aches for you. I'm praying for you. ❤
I agree with Jenning Michael Buble he's a very classy old-fashioned voice Christmas music
Those cold or frozen drinks could be very soothing and go down easy. And, it's food !
I have a friend that was diagnosed with colon cancer that had spread to her liver in 2010. The doctors told her she had approximately 5 years to live. She is still fighting cancer today but for the most part she is happy and living her life to the fullest. Her oncologist said he truly believes she is still here, because of her positive attitude! She is alway making everyone around her laugh and smile. Sending all positive energy your way 💜🙏🏻💜
She is very lucky, a very positive man from my church passed after two years, just after he was cleared of cancer, they were going in to take the dead part of his liver out and it began to grow very fast and we lost his precious soul. Very sad, he was very healthy before!
Amazing ❤
🙏
I have heard that before. The power of positive energy ❤
Hi ❤ I'm so glad. Tell her Jesus will be there with her all the way. ❤
Jenny, there is only 1 word for you, and it is GRACE. You handle everything you are going thru with such Grace. You are positive, proactive, and amazing, Always thinking about the future even if your not physically present, you will be so there with your children.
Exactly.it’s grace under fire for sure xxxx
@@LorJuTExactly 💯 ❤
I was the college roommate of Harry Connick Jr’s sister, Suzanna. He flew us out to Hollywood to be with him when he recorded “When My Heart Finds Christmas.” One cool experience!!!!! He’s an incredibly generous, awesome guy.
I just wanna thank you for your honest perpective. My mom is going through something similar, with brain methastesis, but she is choosing to keep silent about the struggles.. as one of her care givers its hard to know when to push to understand how she is really feeling and when to respect her silence. Your honesty and open descriptions of your feelings and sensations help me have a clue about how she could be feeling, which helps me care for her. Thanks for that. I pray both of you can be here for longer than the odds may lead us to think you are. Love and prayers from Brazil.
I pray that your mother has a full recovery and can beat this nasty illness. God bless you both. ❤️🙏❤️
I'm voting for a complete and total healing, hair follicles and all!!!! Never stop praying
That's fine; however, Christian's know that regardless of strong faith, God doesn't heal everyone, and cemeteries prove this to be true. Kyle and Jenny are united in preparing themselves and the children for what IS coming, and not in denial about it. They're making memories for when Jenny is gone. Our loving duty to them is our support for THEIR decisions about how to handle Jenny's death. This includes after she's gone, when Kyle and the children will need us more than ever, not sugar coated denial.
Besides my own 6 adult children, you TWO are the epitome of GRACE, HOPE, LOVE , HUMOR AND MOST IMPORTANT COURAGE...PRAYERS CONTINUE FOR YOU Two and your Family ...LOVE YOU BOTH ...As all your followers do
That titanic moment was just adorable. The penguin gift and that picture of Ellis hugging it sleeping just precious 💙💙💙
I saw another amazing woman with cancer who recently passed away. She also had a young son who loved having a stuffed animal to hug. They went to build a bear and were able to make him some stuffed animals with her voice singing him songs, saying I love you and then came the one that brought me to tears. She used to tell him every day "when mommy isn't here where u can see her anymore, she will be in your heart and you will be in hers". The final bear he got was one of her heartbeat....her actual heartbeat. I just wanted to tell you both as a suggestion since your kids are still so young. They will be able to hear your voice and u will still be with them whenever they need you.
When my mom was sick with cancer she took the time to write down directions for our family's favorite food's that she made. My dad hadn't a clue how to cook. For some time I had to cook for him. The recipes were so helpful. Now they are both gone and I am enjoying the recipes. So that may be something you could do not only for Kyle for the children also.
That's a great idea I miss my mum's and Nana's special recipes!😊
Really sweet story!
What a wonderful keepsake. Thank you for sharing.
Recipes are handed down four generations In my family.
Yes!!! My grandma Ruth taught me how to make my favorite recipes of her's when I was growing up. She passed when I was 19, and, to this day, I am the only one in the family that can closely (not exact, of course) replicate her cooking. Sharing those recipes and methods is so important for a lasting legacy! Whenever I really get to missing her (I miss her every moment of every day, she was my best friend), I can cook one of those foods and have a little bit of grandma back with me for a few minutes.
If there was a award for the best attitude you would win hands down Jenny. So brave and upbeat. Keep going Jenny you are amazing. Sending love and prayers🙏🏻✝️
Michael Buble. all the way Jenny
CATHCA AGAIN 😅
She sure would. I was once given a false diagnosis. It was almost a week before it was discovered the lab had mixed my test results up with someone else's. I was a total wreck. I couldn't function at all. I don't know how she does it. I have the greatest admiration for her strength and courage. Being redundant here but I'm mystified at how she does it. I fell apart and remained 'apart' the entire time that week.
There is an award. It's called heaven. 😇
@@helenahandbasket3016Oh my goodness that's horrible glad it was a misdiagnosed but still bless your heart.
I always hate to hear Jenny say “I’m dying” it makes me feel so bad. Deep in my heart I still feel like you’ll have a second chance. You are still here and breathing and fighting. Keep up the good fight
Me too ,she gives I’m dying ,to much credit 👎🏼 reword it Jenny please !
There’s power in words that u speak.
Speak Life to ur body
It’s sad to us to hear u say “I’m dying “
Say I’m beating this “cause u are beating it
Perfectly said! I agree 100%
I agree words are powerful ,
@@bbgirl6741There is nothing wrong with her being realistic. Why tell her what to say or not to say?
She is in acceptance, that is what is helping her and her family to prepare. Life is not a fairytale and people at her level of cancer do not just all the sudden live long lives. Her doctor has now prepared her and her preparing is completely healthy and hey if she lives longer than great but if the reality that her body is showing does happen it's not going to leave the family in complete ruins.
The both of you are the true picture of love, strength and resiliency..and the way you can find the little silver linings in a horrible situation is a lesson many people can learn from ❤❤❤
JA
There's not much more I can say that I haven't expressed. Watching Kyles love for his bride is something all men should aspire to and all women feel. I too have lost much hair and anticipate my next option to be what you're doing.
Your will to live is inspiring and Kyles ability to be the great caregiver he is, is truly a blessing 💚💚
If I may….I’m so sorry for what you are going thru. I pray you are as fortunate as Jenny having someone to take care of you. God bless my dear. ❤. We are here for you also should you need a listener 😊
Melanie making a series of interviews with Jenny is SUCH a good idea. I interviewed one of my grandparents before they passed and I wish I could have recorded more interviews/valuable conversations with family members.
It's Michael all the way... Thank you for the update! What stayed with me from the other days, way God's guiding hand on your lives!! What a testimony. He kept everyone safe all the way to San Diego. He showed you the tire. He got you in for repair AND Kyle back out to see the bell ringing!!! Our God IS an Awesome God! Love, Hugs, and Prayers from Colorado. Stay safe!!!
I love the nostalgia of Christmas singers from the 40s 50s...reminds me what I heard as a child growing up from my parents
It's not about your hair, is about your kindness, beauty and grace.
At 19:12 I had tears rolling down my face!! Despite the challenges God has placed in y’all’s lives, you still are able to find joy in every single day. Seeing you both smiling and taking in every moment is such a beautiful thing to witness. Thank you for sharing it all with us. It truly is an honor to watch your videos 🙏🏻🩷 That was definitely a core memory being made for y’all 🩷
Same. Sobbing until the moment I scared my cat when I laughed out loud at Jenny calling Kyle out for “getting to be Rose.”
I agree!
Love your happiness with getting the penguin….the hospital gift shop picked a great person to receive it and the photo of Ellis with the penguin at the end is precious. What a sweet child he is and Winnie too of course. ❤ I’m so happy you had a positive experience at your appointment and are happy with the staff at City of Hope.
Beautiful mother so much love in her heart caring
As I sit here crying my eyes out, you are so brave Jenny and such a great Mommy. You are dying and your thoughts are with your family to give them all these memories of yourself for when you have passed. Incredible! Hang in there and keep on keeping on. God Bless you all.
I'm a survivor of a rare ovarian cancer. I had surgeries and a year of chemo! I'm am praying for you! ❤
❤❤🙏🙏
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I'm sorry to hear that. May you've Blessed with a cure, and be sure to keep in touch with this lovely couple. They are in need of lots of prayers just like you do. I'll be in prayer for both of you. L9ve in Christ Jesus,
~ Sandy~
@@sandymcdaniel3926 Thank you. I have been cancer free for many years now
It makes me sad knowing Jenny has already passed that this sweet desperate couple and family were trying so hard. But now she's gone. It makes me so sad. My memories of my younger sister who had Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma at 16. She fought it so hard, so brave. The treatments ultimately is what killed my sis fm side effects at 47y.o. I miss her every day ❤❤❤❤
Dragon flies are good luck. They say it's a visit from someone who has passed who came back to visit you. I've lost both my mother and father and almost all of my grandparents. My mom was only 52. She passed away from medical issues, and my dad passed away from diabetes. He was so tall 6ft 2 and maybe 180lbs. Just the thought of you not being there for your daughter and son on those special occasions breaks my heart. ❤❤❤ I am so happy your thinking ahead to these special occasions. Just because you may be gone doesn't mean you will be forgotten. I will always remember you, and what a tremendous mom, wife, sister, daughter, and best friend you have been to so many. ❤️ Not to mention your family, you graciously shared with us youtube family and so many more. My husband works in Oncology/Hematology and is so supportive of your continued fight. 💗 hang in there. 😊hugs
Oh my gosh Jenny preparing for the kids the way you are is absolutely amazing. Like I’ve said this before. We lost our mom so quickly from lung cancer when we were in high school. If I would’ve just had a letter or a video like this, it would have made the pain so much better easier to handle. It’s an absolute blessing. What you’re doing preparing for your children. You’re an amazing beautiful gift from the heavens above.
There’s a scripture in the Bible that says.
“Nothing clever, nothing conceived, nothing contrived, can get the better of God. Do your best, prepare for the worst- then trust God to bring victory.”
Proverbs 21:30-31 MSG
PeaceAndLove

How beautiful, Lori🙏🥰🌹
Beautiful! 🙏❤️🙏
That was a touching beautiful message I'm sorry for your loss you have a heart of Gold.. ❤️
You two are so precious together and funny. Love you two, you're in my thoughts and prayers daily ... Hugs
Thank you for preparing your children for what’s to come, whatever that may be, good or bad. You have realized that children are not as dumb as most parents think. You are both amazing.
Children aren’t dumb I agree
But children are not adults. And trying to involve little children in areas that could potentially haunt them forever. Personally as a professional I’d limit their camera exposure and the constant “ mommy is dying” diatribe
@jennmooney 😢 diatribe? wow. That's really rude and offensive. I'm sure they know their children much better than you!
@@jennmooneyWe should all be so lucky to have parents as incredible as Jenny and Kyle. As a "professional," you surely must see that.
@@jennmooneyA diatribe is a forceful and bitter verbal attack against someone or something so Jenny and Kyle are definitely not engaging in that.
Perhaps you meant the discussion about Jenny’s impending death or the memories they are trying to give a four and seven year old? The experiences they are trying to give Jenny since she won’t be around to see her children become adults? The grief that Kyle is showing as he loses his wife and best friend to something they have fought so hard against yet are losing to?
There is no way to cover up what is happening to Jenny and from a grief standpoint, studies show that involving and informing children about what is happening as someone dies is less likely to cause future harm. I worked as a grief counselor for families whose babies died during pregnancy or were stillborn. Pathological grief occurs most frequently in families who wouldn’t discuss what happened and in those parents who blamed themselves for the loss. Children create fallacies in their minds when they don’t know what is happening. It’s like preparing a child for bed. You tell them that he/she has ten minutes before bed so he/she can know what is coming which can prevent the meltdown. Even as adults, people generally experience less trauma when they can prepare for bad things and can sort their feelings in situations where they have no control.
I doubt that every conversation and activity in their moments offline is about her death but I don’t think it is possible to hide how sick she is. The family has counselors and I am certain that they have gotten advice about what, how, and when to share the details. Those kids can see the changes in their mother and she is doing her absolute best to give them the feeling that Mommy loves them and here is the proof in these videos. Children often take ownership of the ‘bad stuff’ if you don’t handle their feelings well. They do things like blame themselves or say Mommy left because I wasn’t good enough, etc. Knowing what is happening ensures that they know that they didn’t cause Mommy’s illness, pain and death.
I understood the point that you made about scaring them but there’s absolutely more damage done when we talk down to kids or cover things up because they’re scary. I’m only a recent viewer and I can see the changes in her. Imagine living with her and having no idea why she is different - being tired, being in pain, being scared and grumpy, grieving her life, etc. I would be so angry as an adult if my mother had lied to me about what was happening and then she died. Jenny and Kyle, as well as all the other adults in their lives, are giving those kids the opportunity to show Jenny how they feel about her and that is an extraordinary gift. I would give alot to tell some of my loved ones how much they meant to me but I wasn’t given the chance.
@@jennmooneyYeah exactly personally, that's what *you* would do- but you are not her. And it's not a diatribe. It's the reality and at least they're not lying to them because the kids were going to find out soon anyway, as they can see what's happening.
I’ve been looking back at these videos and seeing how gracious Jenny truly was. Kyle you and Jenny have such a pure love. She is still there with you and so proud of you. Everyday♥️
Hello Jenny and Kyle. I will try my best to find the rights words to express myself since I am french canadian. I really admire your strenght both of you, first about Jenny, to endure all theses treatments for the past years, and for Kyle, supporting can be harder then having to endure it ourself sometimes. I just don't know how you get the strenght to make all theses videos. I had a pancreatic tumour last year, I am 32 years old and my newborn child was only 6 months when I had the diagnosis. I was so deep in my anxiety, that thing in your head that you don't know if you will go throught it or not. I had a whipple procedure which is a major surgery, life changing. After surgery, I felt in a severe depression post-traumatic, which I am still in (9 months post-surgery). Never been sick before that. It is so much, so much to handle for our little brain... I admire you guys. We are all scared to feel, see and touch that hourglass of time (timeframe). It is part of this world sadly. You both are amazing, I wish you all the best. Life is beautiful, but sadly we could all skip that part of life, about diseases and cancers. I hope you have a lot of time ahead. It is easy for outsiders to say ; Don't worry about time you have left, we can all die tomorrow so enjoy it! But it might be harder for you guys with all you been throught. Jenny you're so brave. All theses treatment you've been through! In any ways, your kids will always be proud of their mother who went throught all this to stay with her family, no matters how the ends is. Keep hope
You two are such a stunning couple. Jenny, your faith that you will live beyond 6-9 months is going to carry you so much further than just that. Your strength is amazing and WOW, what an amazing gift for Ellis and Winnie! I am so glad that you are doing Cards etc. for them as well as for Kyle. That picture of Ellis asleep snuggling with Mr. Penguin is so precious. Those few minutes of you reenacting Titanic was so so special and you will cherish that forever. I love you all so so much. Continued prayers.
Frozen yoghurts are good❤ also stewed apple with blueberries.
@grettawyles I’m going to make apples and blueberries. Yum.
Jenny! You are STILL gorgeous without hair. Your attitude is so beautiful and as usual , I said a very special prayer for you and your fam on my healing cross! God bless you guys and Kyle is the usual, amazing husband! Love you both!
Jenny I am just starting to deal with endometrial cancer! Waiting for surgery! I love your little family y’all are awesome! I hope you have a good week! Much love! ❤
I have just fell in love with this family and we all should pray for her recovery because they are a beautiful family
Seeing you both still smiling and laughing and experiencing joy is just…inspiring and magical in every way possible. Thank you for existing and showing us all how beautiful life can be and the importance of the present. You've changed the world Jenny!
I love to see you both having smiles on your faces.
Your beginning to look like a person without cancer!! You look wonderful 👍😊, can't believe you have all that hair!!!!!! I lost all mine by fourth chemo treatment! You ROCK ON GIRL!!!!!! MANY, MANY PRAYERS🎉
What? She lost all her hair.
Maybe she wrote message before watching,I often do that and then have to go back and edit it 😅
Jenny, you are beautiful on the inside and out, with or without hair. You and Kyle are the epitome of bravery and such beautiful parents. My heart breaks for what you are all going through. Stay strong, you are an inspiational couple. Sending love and prayers from New Zealand xxx
I shaved my BFF hair because it was hurting her so much. She felt so much better after it was done. We did it on her patio and left the hair for the birds to put in their nest. I would hate it too, but as we all know it will grow back. Maybe curly or a different color!
Just lost my dog to liver cancer. He was my best friend. You guys honestly put it in perspective for me that I'm not alone in this cancer sucks battle of life. Love you guys so much and thanks for taking us on the journey.
My condolences on the loss of your dog. May God comfort you. May your dog’s memory, be a blessing.❤🙏🏾
Sorry to hear that.
🙏💐
I am so sorry for your loss !! I lost my cat after nearly 14 years this year ! So I feel your pain , He was the sweetest boy ever ! God bless you ❤from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 Lillian 🌹
So sorry you lost your dog. That’s devastating bec with many of us we have such a deep emotional bond with our pet that is just as strong as our bonds with our humans, but not everyone gets it and so many of us suffer in silence. 🥺 Hopefully, your humans get it. 💕
Pentatonix is my "Go To" for Christmas Songs. Such beautiful melody!! I admire both of you for the positivity and upbeat spirit you bring. You are a great inspiration to your children and to all of us! Keep fighting "Ladybug"
On June 28th a pitbull attacked my daughter. It's attacked her 3 times. It broke her arm in 2 places. We were in the hospital for 2 days she had to have rabie shots and had a metal plate in her arm. The hospital lady gifted her 3 marshmallow toys. God bless your family. I love you guys
@@nonameshere1592 She was on her way home with her friend from school. Her friend grandma gave them money for a slurpee. The pitbull attacked a 5 year old. The owner got the dog inside. When the ambulance pulled up the pitbull got out of this drug house and attacked my daughter. The owner also got attacked and so did his sister she lost part of her thumb
The dog was destroyed by animal control. It tried to attack animal control officers. This dog was known to attack. I never knew this till it got my kid
Bing Crosby is my favorite Christmastime singer! :) He is from my mom's era...LOL...but I love him!
YES BING CROSBY!!!!! Was the first name came to mind
Same! My moms era but I grew up listening to the classic like bing Crosby for Christmas!
I love the oldies Xmas! After chemo, my scalp really started to hurt. My hair was coming out in handfuls. I vote your hair hair will thin out, but that's it. I was Mr. Clean for months. I rocked my wig, though!
Melanie is the most sweetest, loving, and caring friend....you are blessed to have Eachother. Some people never are blessed with such good friends, who ask for absolutely nothing in return, but your love.
I hope everything is ok, it has been a while since you or Kyle updated. Praying for you Jenny
Jenny, are you & your loved ones, including your care team safe from the wicked weather & floods? LORD knows you all have enough on your dang plate to contend with!! Love, strength, prayers, peace & continued FIGHT!! From Mom/Grammy in Michigan...Kyle, you are WHAT A TRUE MAN IS!!! Bless you all!!! We're ALL in your corner, Loves!!❤✝️🙏🏼💗😘
Little Menchie A mensch, in Yiddish, is a person of integrity, morality, dignity, with a sense of what is right and responsible. But mensch is more than just an old Yiddish adage. It is relevant now, across the world, more than ever… “To be a mensch is to be supportive. To be a friend, to be calm in troubled times.
Hair is just hair. Wigs can be fun, giving you an opportunity to have as many looks as you want. As for Christmas music, Sandi Patty singing Oh Holy Night. Awesome! You are special, Jenny is special, The kids are special. Your family is special. I love you guys!
The possibilities in today's wigs are endless!
@@justjane1639They sure are! The hairlines look perfect. There are hairdressers that will amaze Jenny!
Yeah! Look how many attractive women HAVE hair and go for the WIGS!! 💕💕
Constant upkeep (cut, color) can cost lots more than a few carefully-chosen wigs, too.@@MTknitter22
You both are so amazing and have touched so many people! My father-in-law passed away from lung cancer but was very hush hush about any pain so we never knew what to do.
You both stay positive in the most beautiful way, the vulnerability you share is inspiring. You are both so loved ❤
I have a terminal illness that is arguably worse than cancer, and the treatment is likely to kill me faster than the parasite that’s eating me alive. Your videos are so inspiring to me, you don’t even know how much. I had a suicide attempt on the 16th, and was in the mental institution since then. I just got out and the first thing I wanted to do was to see your video. I feel like you’re my only friend, and I don’t even know you. I hope you live forever, I know you will. We will be all right no matter what happens. Life is beautiful
I hope you have had a great recovery. Those are my prayers, and that no more signs of the illness. May The Lord heal you from within and continue to heal you throughout. Please be well.
You're so so so strong and I'm so sorry life has been so unfair to you. I hope it's not rude for me to ask so it's perfectly fine if you don't feel comfortable telling me. But what is the disease you have? I'm really into medicine and I'm still just a teenager so I really hope I'm not being rude.
My dad was a brilliant physician and he always said "medicine is more of an art than a science"!
Hi Jenny I want you to know that you have inspired me in so many ways but mostly you have given me the courage to finally quit smoking after 40 years of abusing my body. It could have been me in that car next to you and I feel awful for that. I am keeping track of how much money I save over the first year and plan on donating most, if not all of it, to lung cancer research. You and Kyle are true inspirations! Thank you!
Everyone who reads this please remember that Jenny never smoked. Her form of lung cancer is considered to be a non-smoking form (I believe non-small cell). God bless you. I did smoke for almost 20 years and believe you me I know how hard it is to quit! But you can do it!! I did some 25 years ago. I will pray for you.
Best wishes! You got this!!!!!!
Good luck an great comment, Jenny is pretty awesome & brave… this is day 3 for me starting over quitting after 23 yrs I’m determined to try harder
@@countessbappreciate that inspirational comment. & insight
Cancer really pisses me off she’s so young & even if she was old it still suck I lost my mom 2 yrs ago due to breast cancer , I’m now always scared an freaking out ,, I even got my breast removed an didn’t even have the gene , life scare the sh out of me now .anxiety kicks my butt , Jenny you are so brave❤
You two are troopers, and dealing with all of this with such grace and dignity…I pray for you always…🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💔💔💔💔❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️keep fighting Jenny!
I am so happy to hear you are being interviewed so your kids will be able to know you better. Also think about writing bday cards and then write for their milestones like HS Graduations, College Grad, Engagement, Wedding etc. My mom did that for me and it meant the world to me.
Thank you for sharing your story. We are praying for you. Stay strong and encouraged.
Have you thought about making a plaster cast of Jenny's hand as she is holding hands with each person in the family - one for each person?
Hey Jenny and Kyle. The penguin is such a beautiful , thoughtful gift, maybe you could name him after The city of Hope , or your Dr. I’m so glad your adorable babies have him to cuddle when they’re missing you . Lots of love and healing beautiful lady . 🫂🥰xxx
@@sandraruperti387 Are you forgetting she's not well, is undergoing brutal cancer treatment, and must therefore be experiencing chills/being hot, that those two temperatures alternate, fight with each other?
@@donnabaardsen5372exactly, what a rude thing for him to say
@@valerieparker9794 awesome idea Valerie
I vote for fall out. From what I know about radiation, you better prepare for a fall like deciduous trees in November in New England. Get a rake and some hefty bags, Jenny. And remember, trees without their leaves have a beauty all their own.😊
Jenny, you and Kyle are the epitome of positivity. Finding the good even on a rough road, I just love that about you both ❤❤❤❤
Hi Jenny and Kyle! So many people commented with such beautiful words and sentiments. There’s nothing I can say because they have said it all. 😊You look so amazing Jenny and I love the hat. So much love, laughter and memories will be left for Ellis and Winnie to cherish. Much ❤ & hugs from NJ. (BTW, I love the classic Christmas music mostly 🎄😁)
Sounds like you have an amazing oncologist as I have! I trust my oncologist so completely I truly believe this is what helps us extend our lives! I an entering my ninth year of a diagnosis of stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. My doctor gave me 5-7 years and I had told him To would prove him wrong. He had told me I wouldn’t see my autistic grandson graduate. He graduated this past May! Strength in positivity! I hate the inconsideration of smokers, stay strong and positive!!! Love how you care for each other!
I wish you strength and many more years to come!
God bless you Mary, your another warrior! I hope you continue to go on, cause God knows, this disease isn't a joke. Two of my family members, died from cancer, and it was so hard to see them in pain. Stay well. 😊💪🌹🌹🙏🙏
Meant to share this with you guys. My Mother in law was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma stage 4. This was in 1990 . She also ended up at the City of Hope after chemo treatment in NYC. Well that being said she ended up in remission the only woman out of 14 on her unit 🙏🙏. Unfortunately later she ended up with pulmonary fibrosis and passed in 2007 . I guess what I'm trying to say is never ever give up. Bless you both ❤
❤❤🙏🙏
I love the old school singers that I grew up with, Andy Williams, Bing Crosby, Perry Como, Dean Martin, to name a few. I was diagnosed in Jan 2020 stage 3 lung cancer, I was a smoker since age 17. Immunotherapy and radiation put me in remission. Last check I was still in remission. If it comes back, my only chance would be chemo, I won't do chemo's. I will just take it as comes at that point. I am almost 70 and have a lot of issues, can barely stand and walk due to degenerative spine issues, too many things to name. I pray for you and would gladly trade places if I could. I've lived my life, you deserve to be here. Praying for you.
Big hugs, Jenny and family. Thank you for keeping us updated.
✝️GOD BLESS YOU SWEET JENNY YOU'RE A STRONG WARRIOR MAMA!👏🏻
Hi guys. What a nice video. You look so much better Jenny
I know this will seem strange but I feel deep down inside that Ellis is a true empath. He seems so in tune with his mama and her struggle. He is so quiet but there’s a lot going on in that sweet head if his. He feels deep. ❤
oh gosh exactly. whenever I see him I see such a gentle soul and a boy with maturity beyond his age. also sooooo adorable and kind.i love how you guys style him he is so cool!!!! also little winnie gosh her finger sucking makes me melt, cuteness overload. I wanna give those babies biggest hugs they are beautiful. Jenny and Kyle you did so good with them be so proud!!!
I agree about Ellis, I have thought the same thing when watching the last video
Another beautiful and inspiring video guys ❤ Remember, Jenny, you should be at the centre of all your medical appointments and your voice should be the loudest and most respected. I pray for all upcoming appointments, for your team to provide you with the respect, autonomy, and compassion you deserve 🤗 Sending you and your family love and prayers ❤
Jenny and Kyle you are both so wonderful. May God heal you and keep you with your family for a very long time. I pray for you everyday. Luv u both❤
Thank you Jenny for being YOU! You are an amazing woman and so fearless, strong, positive, passionate, loving, caring, the best Mama, an incredible wife, a wonderful daughter, an encouraging friend, an amazing sister!! I don't know you personally, but these are the words I think of to describe you and what you show us on here! If just a glimpse of you is showing me all this, I know it has to be an honor to know you personally!! Praying for you and your sweet family!! ❤❤❤❤
Amazing video! No sugar coating but no death knell either. The humor in the midst of pain and grief - the human soul is AMAZING! Thank you both for sharing with us. I was both crying and laughing during your Titanic performances. Prayers continue daily for all of you.
❤🙏
You are so brave and inspirational. I lost my 29 yr old son to cancer in 2020. He went through chemo and radiation also. Sadly, he passed away within 11 months of being diagnosed. My prayers and thoughts are with you, Kyle and your family. God bless you.
My heart goes out to you. I am very very sorry🌷
So sorry for your loss ❤
I'm so sorry. God's blessings.
❤❤🙏🙏
I’m so very sorry for your loss 🙏❤️🙏
You guys are just amazing ❤ I could only hope to be so strong and positive is such a situation. Jenny, you are so inspiring. You've truly made me (and so many others) appreciate life so much more.
Love and prayers, sweet Jenny, for you, Kyle and the kiddos. Love to your dad and sister and Mike, too.
I pray for a miracle you beat this!! I lost my mom at a young age and it was so incredibly! Difficult and still is.
I recently came across a little girl whose father had been deployed for a year and she really missed him. Her mom had a full body photo of her dad printed on fabric and then had a stuffed doll made in the shape of the dad with arms and legs so that she could hug her dad whenever she wanted. I'm sure you could find someone who could help you make each one of your kids a "mommy" doll. You are both such fantastic roll models. And your strength is really incredible. Kyle, you are an amazing and incredibly supportive husband. Sending g prayers for strength.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
So it’s basically like a picture of your mom on a stuffy? How is that creepy 😂
And we have to remember these are children. They love their mom so much. It would be comforting to them.
@@HollywoodCrochetCreationsMaybe seems strange to you as an adult, but I think it's a great idea for children. It's just a photo of their Mom in a different format.
@@HollywoodCrochetCreationsyou’re not the only one 🙋🏻♀️
They include the kids in everything.! How about asking them?
Jenny you’re an amazing and strong woman!! Sending you and your family prayers🙏🏼
You guys are so so strong! Idk how you guys do it! I cried and broke down so many times during this video and you guys just stay so solid! It’s an inspiration and I truly love you guys and I am praying everyday that you recover Jenny! God if anyone deserves it! It’s you! 🥲🫶🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
You and Kyle are a shining example of love and support. Continued prayers for comfort and healing.
Jenny u look vibrant and active and it is so nice to see u upbeat. Hopefully ur scans went good. Prayers for u both. Stay happy girlie.
Jen I admire Ur strength,courage and whole outlook fighting this dreadful disease..You are a brilliant Mum to Ur two kids and an amazing spirit. You are an inspiration to many fighting this cruel disease. I will pray for your strength after such a week of tests. May God Bless you honey, lots of love from Scotland. ❤️❤️❤️
Jenny and Kyle you are such an inspiration to others. I love your positivity during this very hard time in life. You are both in my thoughts.
JENNY, YOU are going to make it and be healed of your cancer. I have stated in another video I envision you doing a movie of your story.
I truly truly truly believe my words.
I'd love it to be a 2 part movie so the World knows your story.
The penguin symbolizes friendliness, community, and determination. They are also persistent and innovative! Penguins face many obstacles in their environment, but they overcome them. Their unique abilities allow them to swim through icy cold water and walk long distances across frozen landscapes.Jun 7, 2023
This is an awesome comment !!
This video was lovely and heartbreaking side by side! Jenny, you are just so lovely and you can never be replaced. There are so many unfair situations in life and this is right at the top. You seem very drained since this last treatment. I hope you take time to just heal. Try to keep your strength up with shakes or whatever you keep down. There is no one more deserving of that lovely penguin than you. You have never shown us anything but courage and kindness during this battle! Listen to your heart where your body comes in. You and Kyle are so beautiful!!!! Prayers from Boston
Jenny you are such a trooper!! Kyle, you are too!!! I love you guys I just want to wrap my arms around you and give a gentle hug!!! How adorable is that penguin ! So sweet, just like you two!! Sending prayers thoughts, hugs, love, good vibes and blessings!! Love you guys!!!❤🙏
Oh my dear Jenny. I didn't think you would lose your hair. That happened so fast. I cry when I see your beautiful children. I get mad because this just isn't fair. I pray for you every night. Take good care of yourself. I know Kyle makes sure of that. Love you guys.
Jenny,
My sister had the same horrible disease diagnosis in 2018 and I wish she would have taken treatment. I took care of her for the entire time and we were able to become close again. We lost our mom to cancer and the day I buried her (I’m a funeral director) our 22 year old brother died of a overdose. She was the last one in my family and I am so alone now. She sadly gave no fight and it hurts so much still. I am praying for you for a great result on your next scan/test. You give me such courage and you guys are touching so many people in a beautiful way.
Your husband is incredible too
One last comment, I work in the death industry and see suffering every day and I appreciate the post you and your husband share. It’s definitely helping others to understand what you are experiencing in your life. God Bless you and your entire family.
Dennis
It must be so difficult for you to see Jenny being I’ll like your sister. You are brave to watch here but I hope they bring you some relief from your many losses.
I'm so sorry for your losses. You have taught me something. Xxx stay strong and bless you 🙏 ❤️
I am alone too - everyone has moved on to our next journey - it's rather excruciating - ❤ testimonials, I find so helpful for others, we truly are interdependent with one another - I read something in my books; if the windows of perception were clear, everything would be seen as it is, Infinite - ❤
So very excited for your latest great appointment! Relax, let your body heal from the intense radiation and enjoy more time with your family! Continued prayers for you sweet Jenny!
♥️🙏🏻
Sending tons of prayers your way sweet Jenny girl. I've become so fond of you and your beautiful family.
