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.

The best thing a family can do in such a situation is being here.❤
Anxiety attacks are awful. I can’t imagine having them with lung cancer. I am praying for you.
❤❤❤❤You will forever be remembered and cherished precious and sweet Jenny. No more pain.❤❤❤❤
I have end time COPD, Angina, CHF. I've been on Oxygen for 11 yrs so i can understand what you are going through. Praying for God's peace and comfort through all this.
I have copd to and just now having problems breathing . What do you take for anxiety? I have a awful lung doctor and no help at all from him. I have been using boost in a can when I need a puff of oxygen. Anxiety is through the roof but I don’t know what to take ?
@@hippiegirl5167Valium
I take Citalopram for anxiety
Ativan worked for my husband, pancreatic cancer. His pain wasn’t under control so his Dr. prescribed methadone, and after 30 minutes, he was totally out of pain magic of different meds. Keep fighting honey!!!
Yes! Methadone works when other pain meds do not!
Jenny I’m praying for you never give up!
@@fufurabumbacka. You need to reread her comment. 🤦🏽♀️
@@jayndough68right?! 😅
You will weather this storm, o fighter!
Prayers, sweet Jenny! Hang in there!!
Yes Jenny hang in there❤
Hi you guys, i just wanted to say, what a priviledge it is to be able to join you on your journey. The cancer may have grown Jenny but my goodness, from your diagnosis, so have you! What a tremedous woman and role model you have become. All power to you Jenny. We are all, SO proud ❤ xxx
Well said my friend.
EXCELLENT comment. I agree **100%**!
Yes, very well said! ❤️
Love & prayers, right now. Thank you again for being so transparent with us. I love you all. From Indiana
❤❤❤❤love your comment.god bless you and jenny
I've always had anxiety problems. I can only imagine what pairing serious illness and difficulty breathing must be like. She controlled it so admirably. Dang strong lady. Respect.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2018.
I get bad anxiety and panic attacks but not related to that.
You are going through so much. Glad you have supportive family members. ❤
River is adorable! He looks a lot like Winnie. Family genes run deep. Your sister is an Angel. It’s obvious y’all have a close relationship. Praying for you Jenny! Much love. ❤️🙏
Watching your videos is a blessing & really puts things into perspective for me. I'm reminded that my daughter drinking my last Diet Coke is not a big deal when I see a mom like Jenny who is literally fighting for her life in hopes of having just more day with her children. I imagine that's a feeling that no mom can ever fully comprehend unless they're in that situation. I lost my husband when I was 7 months pregnant with our first & only child. I felt so confused & jaded. For the longest time I found myself angry with God & questioning Him as to why He allows such bad things to happen to such good people. Some of those same feelings & questions resurface every time I see a new vlog of yours. Although life isn't always fair, you are incredibly blessed to have a husband like Kyle who I know beyond a shadow of a doubt will make sure that your children grow up feeling like they know you & he will never allow them to forget how much you loved them. Life isn't measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. It's also not limited to our date of birth & the date of our passing. That little dash (-) in between those 2 dates is what matters most because it's filled with all the experiences & love that God so kindly gifted to us. It tells our life story for many, many years to come. I hope both you & Kyle know that there's a whole army of people who only know you by the internet, but are praying for you, Kyle & your 2 sweet babies. ❤️
Beautiful, valuable thoughts expressed!!❤
Yesss wonderful inspiration
Thank you for your beautiful post, Nurse Lisa! ❤ For saying all the things we want to convey to Jenny, Kyle and her entire family of warriors!!❤
Well said ❤
@@barbaraanderson8391god bless ❤
As someone who suffers from panic attacks I can only imagine how they feel twice as bad when struggling to breath to begin with. Sending you a virtual hug❤️
I LOVE your pajamas! I'm beyond sorry for all you are dealing with, Jenny. I understand about the anxiety/and the anxiety with having trouble breathing. I am a Retired Respiratory Therapist with asthma. I worked with many patients who had trouble breathing. You are SO loved and supported, and have many, many people praying for you. Your family is amazing. Jenny, if there are items you or your family need, please consider an Amazon wishlist. We donated but would like to do more. Hello Kyle, Ellis and Winnie. 🐞🐞🐞🐞
Agreed!! Hope they make a wish list on Amazon great idea!
I absolutely love how your family is Disney fanatics, so is my family❤❤❤❤❤
I agree. An Amazon wishlist would be great! Until then, though, soft, cozy pajamas and sweats (yes, it does get cold in California 😉) might be nice. I was thinking of nail polish strips as something Jenny and Winnie could do together, since they both like to have pretty nails. Sun hats, beanies, soft scarves. Of course, anything Disney…. I’m putting forward these ideas both from following Jenny over the last couple of years, and from my own experience with being a cancer caregiver. Hope I’m not out of line. 💕
You're actually handling it much better than most people would if they were going through what you're going through.
Anxiety is rough. Glad being with family helped.
I’ve learned as a nurse that my most anxious patients were dealing with respiratory issues. Jenny is brave above most. She still deals with the issues but allows family to be the calming touch she needs. So many can learn from her. It’s like those concerts where it’s just the musician and a guitar. Unplugged. She is sharing her most vulnerable pieces of her with the world even in the face of uncertainty. Rock on Jenny ur the tops.
@@maryyung1994 wow. That’s really judgmental. U obviously have not had to deal with anything like this on a personal level. Well I have. Just to face each day and the indescribable pain that comes from cancer and it’s treatments is brave. Cancer treatment can be brutal. Maybe this isn’t a good channel for u if attacking someone like Jenny is ur thing.
@@Lbhacksaw yes people r going to comment. That’s what I did. U can refer to me as hon but my name is Melissa. I grew out of pet names in 60’s.
❤️ and 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
❤💕😘
@@maryyung1994harsh. … Bad badly harsh…..thumbs down for you marrrrrrrryyyyyyyung19 whatever🤷♀️
Still praying for a miracle Jenny!❤️🙏🏻
God as it's Him that has given the people the skills to do what they do
Also it's God that can save someone's life. He already knows Jenny's life and when her time comes
@@WeRemainFaceless We live in a fallen world. God does not give cancer to anyone. He sent His Son to save us (from our sin debt) because He loves us. Miracles do happen, and hope is a powerful thing that helps us go through hard times. Life on earth is just a whisp of a breath compared to eternity. Trials like this are very hard for Jenny and her family and everyone dealing with hard things. We naturally want to blame God. But it is far better to ask Him for strength to go through the trials in life that we all must face. Prayers make a difference. With prayer, we can still be at peace. There is a much bigger picture than this short time on earth, but it is what we know so it's really tough to face our own death or the death of a loved one. Jenny and her family are doing all the right things, so let's keep encouraging her!
@WeRemainFaceless. "Who are you praying to?" Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, Shiva or Zeus...what difference does it make to you? Religiosity and staunch atheists are both annoying in their zealotry. Give it a rest and let people find comfort where they may.
Whether you believe in a higher power or not, this isn’t the place to argue!!!! Please!!!! Jenny isn’t concerned about what we each believe!! She has a lot on her mind, more than any of us can truly comprehend!! Give her light, not darkness!! ❤@@WeRemainFaceless
I deal with anxiety everyday, I take medication for it. I can’t imagine having it & have lung cancer. Praying for you everyday. Love & hugs from St. Louis ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
❤❤❤
Praying everyday for you sweetheart Jenny. XOXO love you and Kyle & Ellis & Winnie & pets ❤❤❤❤❤
🙏🏼❤️🌻
Never worry about an intro - we don't need one😊. Sisters are special and you have an awesome one - so glad you were able to get your sister & family time! River was so adorable getting his presents, I sat here with a big smile on my face😀. Love, hugs and prayers💞🙏💞
How blessed you are Jenny to have a loving sister, something I always wanted. 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸
Me too🏴 ❤️ 🇬🇧
I have had anxiety and panic disorder since I was 23, and I am now 75. I have been on meds for it all this time. I also have a sister, two daughters, and a granddaughter who has the same problem. I can’t imagine having that with all your going through. You are amazing. I love you, love you, love you. And what’s to say about your husband ? Awesome guy. And the kids are so so cute. Prayers for you and the family, every night before bed. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Anxiety can be hereditary. It is in my family
@@lynndinovo3500 Same here - on both branches of my father's family, one who lived her life in a public mental facility until they were disbanded. Each generation tried to "self medicate" in different ways. Mine/our generation was the first to openly discuss it and had much better meds available.
Does Anybody know what harm Xanax or Ativan can cause to a person in long term use like 20 years cause I am a panic attack and anxiety patient for 20 years and there is no way I can survive with no medication. My serotonin levels are always the lowest. What ever I do. 😢😢😢
@@lizgephart2040 As a patient prescribed Klonopin (same family as Xanax and Ativan - the benzodiazepines) my heart goes out to you...anxiety & panic attacks are the worst!!! I've been on disability approximately 30 years due to "Major Depression, Recurrent; Rapid Cycling." It runs in our family. I saw the same psychiatrist for most of that time and, with the right combo of medications, I'd been able to lead a normal life UNTIL about 15 yrs. ago when my Dr. put me on a different anti-depressant when the previous one quit working. About a week later I began waking up in the morning in major panic and horrific anxiety, my body literally shaking. I lived alone and it took about 3 hours to start coming out of it enough to function. When I told my Dr. at the next visit, he prescribed clonazepam (Klonopin) at a very high dose. I asked if there were any side effects or things I should know while taking it as I'd never taken an anti-anxiety med. He said, It will make you feel better." Two extremely important things he did not tell me: 1. The med is intended for very short-term; taking it daily should be no longer than two weeks. 2. The med is very addictive as the body habituates to it. I asked the Dr. if he would wean me off; he said I needed it. (I know now to research and find a new Dr. if necessary.) Ok, I need anti-depressants as well so I continued on and was fine unless something interfered with my taking it daily, like when my Dr. unexpectedly went out of the country with no one to cover for him, leaving me without Klonopin for over two weeks!!!! I felt like I was going mad!!!! 😶🌫 After leaving his practice due to moving I just had whatever family practitioner I saw prescribe it and some did help me in weaning down to my current very low dose. Two psych P.A.'s refused to help me wean off when I sought their help, stating due to my age (now 69) and how long I've been on the med, weaning off would be too hard on my body and it has to be so slow I would likely die naturally before getting weaned off. Peachy!
Deep depressive episodes run in my father's family but I was stable on the anti-depressants then harmed by the psych med. that renders me unable to function if not taken regularly. I think you said you take Ativan? It's also in the same family as Klonopin (benzodiazipines) along with Xanax and Valium. When I've been in the hospital or ER and given my daily anti-anxiety med, they use Ativan and (for me) it has a MUCH smoother transition in and out of my system. I asked the home care psych nurse if I could please switch to Ativan and she refused...GAAAHHHHH so I'm really pleased your medical team has you on Ativan. There is a site online called Benzo Buddies (all one word but YT won't take it for some reason). It is a support forum for people trying to wean off any of the benzos. I read tons of introduction posts that were my story exactly: anti-depressant med pooped out, patient developed severe anxiety & was put on a benzo. Doesn't sound "coincidental" at all! 🤐 I recommend the site even if not weaning off for the wealth of info on benzos as well as other meds when they're used as a combo. I recently heard the anti-depressant that caused this whole mess is being recalled for too many severe, negative side effects. I'm ok staying on the low amount but I DO want to switch to Ativan so need to start calling Drs.
@Jenny & Kyle - Didn't mean to write a book....lol...but I am very passionate re: mental illness, its treatment, and that it IS a valid illness. I earned a Masters Degree in Mental Health Counseling and had some wonderful jobs until anxiety would hit and throw everything off kilter. Walking with our other "fam" members on your journey, praying for and supporting you and your wonderful family. May Jesus wrap His protective arms around you and your family.
then earning a Masters degree and in mental health counseling and working in the field, I know some of their symptoms and, after all this time, I'm still learning more. I'm with you on not being survive without the benzo, or at least my body sends signals to my brain and nervous system telling it that. NOTE: I am not a Dr. and this is not meant as professional advice, just personal experience. I recommend a web site help forum for those addicted to benzos. A lot of very helpful info there from people who have walked in our shoes. Medications affect different people in different ways plus dosage variations, the type of diets we eat, exercise - all can affect the way a medication works within our system. It sounds like you already know the potential short-term effects and/or withdrawal. I actually wasn't as well-versed on long term use but when I entered the late 60's I felt like I was going mad!!!! 😶🌫 After leaving his practice due to moving I just had whatever family practitioner I saw prescribe it but some did help me in weaning down to my current very low dose. Two psych P.A.'s refused to help me wean off when I sought their help, stating due to my age (now 69) and how long I've been on the med, weaning off would be too hard on my body and it has to be so slow I would likely die naturally before getting weaned off. Peachy!
So hear I am - on disability due to a genetic mental illness, but kept stable with meds, but was then harmed by the psych I trusted via a med that makes me feel like I'm in hell if I miss a dose for any reason. I think you said you take Ativan? It's also in the same family as Klonopin (benzodiazipines) along with Xanax and Valium. When I've been in the hospital or ER and given my daily anti-anxiety med, they use Ativan and it has a MUCH smoother transition in and out of my body. I asked the home care psych nurse if I could please switch to Ativan and she refused...GAAAHHHHH so I'm really pleased your medical team has you on Ativan.

I recently heard the anti-depressant that caused this whole mess is being recalled for too many severe, negative side effects. I'm ok staying on the low amount but I DO want to switch to Ativan so need to start calling Drs. The worst part is, my step-father doesn't believe in mental illness per se and I guess thinks I'm faking it and I think resented help my mother provided when I was between jobs before disability. She now has dementia and sides with my step-father; that entire memory block is apparently gone. I'm an only child and know she loved me dearly as did her but now acts like she hates me. After 46 years of getting along well with my step-father (which isn't easy - he has two T-shirts that sum it up - 1. I know everything. Just ask me. and 2. I only like two people in the world and you're not one of them) and my mother's brain not working, I feel like I've been thrown out of the family, only 3 of us to begin with, and now can't call my mother to have her talk me down from panic. We spoke every day. Now it's been a year since I've seen her!! Step-father moved her back home after three years in memory care where she thrived. She's 90 and he's 92...I can't imagine things are going well. When I see the love in your family and the way you & Kyle parent your children I feel envious (in a positive way) and regret I can't go back to about age 25 with what I know now.

@@lizgephart2040 I wasn't aware of long-term harm from benzos but now know little a bit. When I hit age 65 my current Drs. began saying, "We've got to get you off that Klonopin." I asked why and Dr. said it can cause dementia. ARRRGGGH! After that comment I did more research and found a list of long-term effects; the only ones I can recall atm is the linkage to dementia and Parkingsons Disease. It's kind of a "battle of the doctors" - some refuse to help me wean off because I'm on a tiny dose and from here out the weaning procedure is verrrrrrry long; the others say I should get off them but never follow through. I need to decide what I want to do then stick with it.
"Benzo Buddies" all one word. There is a wealth of info on the site plus an active forum where you can ask questions if you wish. Using the "does it do more harm than good" medical model, for me at my age (that everyone keeps pointing out - some to say basically "You're too old to wean off," others to list the elder-type diseases I could encounter. My recommendation is to talk to your Dr. as he/she has your medical history, age, other medical issues, etc. If you don't have a Dr. or don't have one you're uncomfortable dealing with on this issue, you can speak with a counselor who is knowledgeable about psych meds.
Thank you for the updates. As a fellow panic attack person, I empathize with you. The anticipatory anxiety is just as tough to work through. Someone holding me tight works! I’m praying for you. May God take away your anxiety and give you peace. ❤
Amen, I'm sure it is extra scary with lung problems. I allways feel like I'm having a heart attack when I have one. God bless you. Praying for your healing.
Sending you a virtual hug from me in 🇬🇧.♥️
No one should be scared of death after watching such a humble lady ❤
Good morning Jenny, I took you on my prayer walk this morning and feeling God asking me to pray. I want to send you some encouraging words today to hang onto and think about. I know you struggle with the anxiety of it all, along with the suffering that cancer entails, and just wanted to let you know what came to my spirit for you. I have been praying for a complete miracle for you since I read and looked back at your story around April of this year! The wonderful thing here is that no matter if it is his will to take you sooner than later, that you are standing firm in him. I was walking today to the song, In Christ alone. Listen to it. He will give you the strength, the love and take away all fear. Jenny for some reason God just popped you into my life up here in Winnipeg, to pray for you, I believe, but I am growing in faith in your story as well. There is a reason, we just sometimes don’t get to know why. Trust Him. He’s got you! Sending love to you and Kyle and kids.💖🙌👊and remaining a prayer warrior for you!❤
Such Kind and Encouraging words🙌🏾🙌🏾
What a sweet message to Jenny. I pray for Devine intervention from our Heavenly Father to heal this precious soul. She is Loved by so many & so many people praying for her, husband & children. God Bless you ❤
You guys provide hope to many people going through this journey
@@WeRemainFacelessfreak
@@WeRemainFaceless😮 I don't think that's what's going on here. This serves as healing therapy for this family. If you don't want or cannot donate or contribute anything positive, keep rolling. 🙋♀️
@@WeRemainFaceless freak
@@WeRemainFacelessWhy are you following them if u have such feelings? I have been following them since she was diagnosed and never have I heard either of them ask for money. Where is your compassion for what Jenny is going through? I don’t believe I could have had the grace and dignity she has shown if I had been facing the same prognosis when my daughter was so young. I have health conditions that limit my quality of life considerably but I got to raise my daughter and see her healthy, happily married with 6 wonderful grand babies to now enjoy. So I wasn’t robbed liked Jenny and Kyle have been. I hope you can reconsider the hatred for their channel that you seem to have as Jenny needs support, love and compassion now more than ever. All your hateful comments do is increase her stress and how horribly unfair and cruel is that. What do you gain by being so mean. If you can’t change your views perhaps unsubscribe so as to not further Jenny’s pain and anxiety if she were to read your hateful words. As others have said, just move on.
@@WeRemainFaceless Yo Billy Bob, Take your Negativity and keep Drifting! People like you should seek Mental Help!
As a fellow panic attack sufferer you made me feel better. You really have a double whammy. I’m so happy you have your amazing support network around you.
I was thinking the same thing. As bad as panic attacks are and hoe they effect your breathing, I can't fathom having serious lung issues.
I’ve had panic attacks as well without lung issues but the attacks come with hyperventilation & a fast heart rate. I’ve also had shingles when I was in my 40s my whole right side. It took 3 wks of feeling absolutely miserable & couldn’t work that whole time as I would be contagious to anyone that didn’t have Chicken Pox. A fever, muscle aches, no appetite, & fatigue goes along with shingles. I hope you didn’t have a really hard time with all your feeling already. Stay strong Jenny🐞♥️🐞♥️🐞
Keeping the prayers coming for Jenny! It’s ok to need your meds Jenny! Whatever it takes sweetie! My Mom who had late stage pancreatic cancer took Ativan and I was so grateful for that. She was 64 and was told she had 3 weeks to live once she was diagnosed. I’m a Reiki Practitioner and I’m sending energy and love!❤
@@mihaelavoievidca6860 Jesus is for me also. Me sending loving healing energy won’t hurt. ❤️
@@mihaelavoievidca6860thank you for those kind words 🙏💐
@angelabascue4539, I'm so sorry for your great loss! Losing my Mom, will be 6 years in 2 weeks, was the hardest thing I've ever done. My Dad had Pancan and only lived 12 weeks. I wish they gave him Ativan! Thank you for sharing. 💜💜
@@mihaelavoievidca6860, I too believe in miracles that our Lord can provide. However, as a nurse who dealt with patients in severe pain, medicine is very much needed! How cruel to withhold medicine when you're in excruciating pain. Thankful that Jenny takes them.
I have severe anxiety and panic attacks. I have been on meds since a very young age. My mom passed back in 2019 and its been a struggle with my anxiety ever since. Panic attacks are horrible. My prayers for you Jenny!!
I don't have lung cancer, but I have breathing issues that stem from autonomic dysfunction and then when I get anxiety on top of it, it's literally torture. I pray your anxiety becomes less and can be managed well. Being with family does help and I'm happy to see you got to visit 🙏
I can totally relate
I was diagnosed with a debilitating autonomic disorder and have been desperate to find someone else with it. it is a terrifying disease and would love to speak with you if you would be open to it. 😢
@@maddyk8505Is it POTS?
I have all my life asthma will short breath and anxiety.I feel with Jenny♥️!
@@annjames1837Why would you just assume it's POTS as if that's the only debilitating autoimmune disease that affects breathing? It's actually really rude to question a stranger about their medical issues. If they wanted you to know, they would've shared more information..
Jenny, I've been hospitalized 2 times in 2 weeks. I suffer PTSD and anxiety attacks. Don't be afraid to ask them to up your meds because anxiety can cause hypertension and heart attacks according to my dr. Especially long term anxiety. It breaks my heart to watch you through. Those that don't know... They are dehabilitating 😢🙏🏻✌🏻💕
I absolutely thought I was going to the other side when I had my first anxiety attack, it was completely out of nowhere, at a very stress free time in my life, I don't know how anyone deals with another illness on top of that, be it mental or physical or both, they are so debilitating.
Yes, they can be. I have anxiety and panic attacks. Is definitely a horrible thing
@@pamelah9807 I also suffered from massive !! anxiety for years.
But taking medicine was NO OPTION for me ! Never ever !
In my opinion medicine makes everything even worse - it gives the illusion of a quick fix.
BUT there is a REASON for your fear and anxiety - deep inside of you .
Medicine will never CURE - just cover it.
The only way to find real healing is to start to listen inside of you and take yourself on FIRST PLACE in your life !
Most important: Starting to finally love YOURSELF in every way - and probably finally changing your path of life...
It really worked for ME ! It really did !
My sister is STILL recovering from Covid that almost took her. I see her with high anxiety too because of breathing problems. I really feel for her because I can only imagine what struggling to breathe must feel like. I’m sorry you have to go thru that. Stay brave.
It looks like you have plenty of fellow panic attackers….including myself. I’m happy that you found the place you needed to be in. Feeding the soul is exactly where you should be. Much love🫶🏻
….River is ADORABLE‼️🥰
Breathing issues & anxiety are a very tough combo. Family can break through the panic storm by triggering old memories of comfort and safety. How wonderful to have your sister's family be so welcoming and comforting. May this get easier Jenny ❤
You are a beautiful person.
Your sister exudes love, peace and welcome and River is adorable 😊 So glad you got to spend this therapeutic time with them ❤
Jenny, lax a day has been a God send for us with high doses of pain meds comes terrible constipation. We have found a daily dose of lax a day has made such a positive difference. No pain no cramping at all.
Jenny, just to let you know that I pray fervently for you every day. You need all the support & cheer you can get, and Kyle is certainly doing a gr8 job on both fronts. I'm going through a lot myself on the health front, but I'm alone & can still manage.
Stay blessed!
Love and hugs to you.
God and by Dr sounds of it you don't like that idea. God created every one of us
I can 100% understand why you want/need to be around friends and family at this extremely difficult time. Sending you all the love in the world.
It's wonderful that you have your sister for more love and support. Panic is awful, place yourself in the lap of OUR LORD too Jenny, when family is not close by. Prayers everyday from me.
You two are among the sweetest people I have ever known. I admire both of you for the grace and kindness with which you have handled these bad times. I have been praying for you and your families and hope the new clinical trial will prove hugely beneficial. Your videos have helped me better process my daughter's own fight with cancer. She too was diagnosed at a young age.
Im so sorry to hear this. May i know how old is your daughter
you have such a nice family….. some of us aren’t as lucky hugs and prayers ❤️🇨🇦❤️
Yes, I have anxiety problems and I am a severe asthmatic. So i get it what you mean about having anxiety and not being able to breathe.
You are ok. The clinical trial will be a magic bullet. You are all gods. Have faith!
Jenny, it is quite normal to suffer anxiety and panic attacks and want to be with your family because cancer is a very stressful disease which drives everyone into depression. I wish you cute little nephew River a very Happy birthday. Keep fighting, Jenny!
Jen... I'm so glad to see you. I was thinking about you today. It's great to know your finding peace and rest with your sister. How special you two are to each other. It was good to see the kids playing and Kyle watching "Ninja Turtles". After a while parents have seen some of their kids favorite movies so many time they can quote them word for word. Well hey, great p.j.'s by the way, you looked so comfy. Thanks for sharing with us your journey. So many of us love and care about you. I'll keep you in my prayers as always.... See you soon ...🌄
You are so strong! As a single mom with multiple health issues my life has been hard. I find more strength learning about your journey. Thank you! I pray for every day! Believe in big miracles! They happen!
You are so brave too!! May God gives you the strength ❤
Iam so glad you have family to help you feel good.❤❤❤❤😍🥰💞💞💞💞💞💞💯💯💯💯💯
I’m a fellow chronic pain sufferer. I used to feel like a loser for needing pain medication. I’d always over-explain why I needed it. I don’t do that anymore. It gives me quality of life and I don’t get “high” from it. I’m so thankful for pain medication!!
My Ativan saved me so many times. Praying for you Jenny❤
As someone who struggles with panic disorder I cannot imagine how it would feel to already struggle to breathe and then panicking. I empathize fully. I do take anxiety medication which I find a bit better than Ativan, just a small dose to stay on top of it. I think the important thing is if you can just stay on top of it then you can manage to overcome it. At least that's my experience. Wishing you the very best with the new trial coming up. Sending you as always prayers and blessings from Thailand. Praying for you every day!
You take alprazolam?
Yes I do, but just 0.5 mgs a day...which might be too low a dose for most people, but works for me. Doesn't get rid of the anxiety but allows me to manage it. I live in Thailand where it's available from psychiatrists, but in western countries I think it's quite difficult to get. It works so quickly and is the best for panic disorder imo. @@TheFailedmessiah
I found Clonazepam works better than Ativan and I don't get the rebound effect that Ativan gave me. I would become anxious just because I needed to take the next dosage and was late taking it. I also don't feel as doped up or having a flat effect like I did on Ativan.
@@coleengoodell7523 It's because you are metabolizing Klonopin more efficiently which isn't a good thing necessarily.
I know what anxiety and panic attacks are like and being with family is definitely a plan! Hopefully, you’ll have a great visit! The kids can play and Kyle deserves a guys night out! Take care Jenny Thanks for posting and love hugs and prayers always! Kyle is such a support and Ashley is a great sister -so enjoy and feel better!💕😊🙏
Panic attacks are hell. So sorry hopefully the med and family can ease your suffering. Take care!
Much love to you and your family, Jenny.
Hi Jenny. I’m still watching video, but just want to check your ok ? I remember these attacks of anxiety with my dad. ❤
The family time is understandable sweetheart, because it’ makes you feel safe. Keep fighting, your stronger than you know. Wishing you all peace, love and healing and lots of prayers. Love Michelle 🫂🥰
You've got this Jenny. Your support system is off the wall. Such a wonderful family. Kyle is absolutely amazing. You two rock together then add your sis, Melanie , and the rest of your family and you got the perfect solution ❤ lots prayers and love.
For the constipation from the pain meds, ask your doctor for Lactulose. It is a liquid that you take at night and it works really well. Keep fighting! So many people are rooting for you.
My husband fighting cancer headand neck. The pain meds make him so constipated he drinks mirilax and dulcolax suppositories as well as pills..he's suffering 9 months of radiation 4 different chemos and now on another new chemo..his cancer aggressive still growing. We 🙏 for him daily❤.I pray for dear Jenny and her family. Sending prayers and hugs ❤
Jenny is such a strong woman.❤
Lactulose works well for a lot of people!
Yes And Amen❤
@@Anon-ed1bbthere's a powder called CALM that comes in different flavors. Most pharmacies carry it. It's magnesium and you mix it in water. Works amazing and doesn't taste horrible.
Anxiety and panic disorder is no joke. I take 2 meds for mine. Jenny, you are a trooper, I am hoping the best for you always. Much love to you and your family 💐❤🧡💛💐
Praying for you and your family - love you Jenny🇨🇦
Glad kyle gets a boy's night out to just have some of his own fun. Its so incredibly challenging being a caregiver.
@@NancinfoolDo you have to say something so cruel?
Oh my stars😢
@@user-hx3uk2fe5e
Walk a d a y in Kyle's shoes b4 you critique his personality....my bet is that there are K's who would have testimonial against your opinion🤬
@@Nancinfoolmore like a brothel 😂 would have been a while for him 😅
You want cheering up Jenny not all these people telling you there problems .we all have to put up with problems but yours is major .I also glad you are with family xx😊😊
I understand completely about scary breathing situations. Maybe Lexapro would help more with the anxiety? Love you guys! Always praying. ❤
I have massive panic and anxiety...look around and say out loud 3 things you see..3 things you hear..3 things you feel...your mind will re focus...yes..I hyperventilate....not fun...hugs
Great advice! I have severe anxiety and panic attacks, plus I have COPD …not from smoking. I was taught the same thing from my crisis counselor to avoid anxiety attacks. He also said to drink water.
Thank you ladies, I have anxiety n , agoraphobia, I Disassociate n I feel so bad 🙏 for those with it 😣 it's Horrible n this sounds like a great 👍 Idea I'll try❗... Its so hard most days I have to go to appointments n Store 🏳😉❗... ... I appreciate anything to try to ease the sweats n holding my breath n Distracted by anything that moves when im out 😮 ❗...
Fantastic advice! Thanks very much~
@@papawnanasaveslovesnlife9530 I’m so sorry! I also have agoraphobia plus numerous autoimmune diseases like Fibromyalgia, Lupus, RA, ME/CFS, and many more conditions. I have so many doctors to go to and they don’t understand how difficult it is. God Bless you.
❤ Family time is the most wonderful time in life😊
Little ears hear everything. And children don't have the maturity and skills to handle these things.they are too young to know all this. I support you in your fight for life N
And wish you all the best our medical field has to offer. Sending love
I have anxiety and lung breathing problems (not cancer, at least not that I know of). I can’t imagine how that would send me into a panic attack. A doctor once told me it’s like riding a wave … that has helped through the years. However, I am on Sertraline everyday, small dosage, and that keeps the panic at bay and has for several years now. Hope this info helps you some. Sending prayers and supportive thoughts.
Hi!!! Great update! Thank you! You make me laugh because you say your being weird or something and I must be REALLY weird cuz I can totally relate and I'm not going through anything remotely evil like cancer. You and yours 🎉are amazing. Your open and kind. You inspire me to be a better person. Your miracle is on the way! You skipped the meds a touch early, but one day soon you'll be skipping them because you no longer need them. Love Hugs and Prayers from Colorado 🎉🎉❤❤❤
Oh my gosh, I feel for you! I have COPD combined with asthma. I've only had one really severe attack, but the feeling of not being able to breathe is one of the worst in the world. I remember with what little breath I had left just begging the EMTs to "Please help me," over & over. I'm now so paranoid every time I am even slightly short of breath, so I can understand that feeling of panic. I'm so sorry! Also, that baby and his happy dance is adorable! I can see why family makes you feel better.
Those babies are so cute ! I can see why your family brings to closer to peace. I’m sick, and I’ve been wishing I had family to visit with, but our family was shattered 75 years ago. Strange, had not really been ‘bothered’ by our separation until recently.
75 years ago? How are you now?
River is such a cutie!!! His little sweet face shows how much he loves y’all’s gifts! So glad you get to be with your sister! Many thoughts and prayers for you and your family! ❤️🙏🏻
Bonjour Jenny et merci à votre sœur et à sa famille d'être présents pour vous car la famille est le socle de la vie auquel on peut s'arrimer quand sa tangue, amusez vous et profitez ensemble de chaque merveilleux moments qui resteront gravés dans vos cœurs.🤍🤍🤍🤍🐞🐞🐞🤍🤍🤍🤍🥰🥰🥰🥰💙💙💙💙
I have followed you, Jenny, since the beginning of your journey. Looking at the touching comments I can see the love for you from your RUclips fans. I have not written before, but would like to do so now after reading
what your fans shared about their own battles with panic attacks or "anxiety disorder," or PTSD.
I have been a psychiatric RN for many years. I now have a debilitating lung disease. I just want to say something about panic attacks that might help. They are REAL, and so many people experience them, some to the point that their lives are compromised. All of us who have them, including me, should not feel ashamed or embarrassed to discuss them. For those with breathing disorders and anxiety combined have an additional situation causing the body to react. (The medical term is dyspnea ) - Difficult breathing triggers the reaction of lack of oxygen to stimulate the body to release adrenaline. The combination of the two often resembles a heart attack which then makes the person more anxious.
I have seen people in the ER in distress dismissed once the medical team deems "it is only a panic attack." Medication is necessary to alleviate their symptoms. I believe you said today that you had. Ativan and Sertraline.
I guess this is for your loyal and loving fans who have shared their stories of panic attacks today, as well as for you. But, as we all know, there is nothing like a loving, understanding family to be with you. I am so glad you have them. Your whole family support is wonderful, You are a beautiful and courageous woman who should be very proud of how you face this illness and still worry about those you love.. I think I speak for many when I say you show such dignity and grace, and exemplify what courage is. May you find peace and joy with your family at this time.
You are Amazing. What a loving soul you are. I wish you the very best & healing❤❤❤
The baby is so cute!!! I am happy you have both your family and Disney Land so close by! My brother is going through stage 4 cancer treatment. When we all get together he says, "I actually forget I am sick". Family support, where you can just be your raw self is a blessing. You are in our prayers Jenny!
At least you have a family that can make you feel less anxious, and helps you out. A lot of people do not have anyone.😢
the little baby boy ( nephew) made Jenny happy with his kind eyes
@@michellechambala5579 Me too. Totally alone. A little scary and worrisome at times. I'm 77 and have multiple health issues to battle.
ßi very true! I have had 2 major surgeries, so sick for a year or more with Cancer and Illeostomy and have not seen my brothers once. Yes one is 300 miled away but I would walk to them if it were different. I am single and my son and family live in Alaska. I am having another major surgeries and bless my friends hearts.
I can't stand patronising comments like this. Stop comparing Jenny's situation to others.
Just because Jenny has a supportive family doesn't mean she's 'better off' then someone who doesn't. I feel terrible for anyone in this situation, family or not. It's terrible to suffer alone, and it's terrible to be ripped away from everyone you know and love. Especially your two small children.
@@amylouise208 I apologize profusely if my single, short comment came across as being patronizing. I certainly didn't mean it that way. Please forgive me.
Anxiety is self perpetuating - it’s good that you know a coping mechanism to break the cycle. It’s not pleasant on its own, but with all you are dealing with it’s amazing you cope so well at all. ❤
I LOVE EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU❤ I AM PRAYING FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. I AM A CANCER SURVIVOR LIEOMYOSARCOMA THAT SPEAD TO LUNGS AND OTHER PARTS OF MY BODY . I FEEL LIKE SUCH A BAD PERSON I SEE HOW INSPIRING YOU ARE AND HOW YOU SO GRACEFUL ARE HANDLING THIS AND I FEEL ASHAMED FOR HOW I HANDLED IT. GOOD BLEES YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ❤
That's wonderful how close you are with your sister, glad being with her can help you! Sending you hugs Jenny!
Sending you love Jenny. You are sooooo strong!! 💐
Your anxiety is completely understandable. I have anxiety too and also panic attacks. Your situation would exacerbate anyone's anxiety. I wish I could make it better for you.
Prayers and best wishes 🙏❤️🙏
Nothing better than sister love. I hope you had an awesome sleepover! Sending prayers for everyone!
Love y’all! Prayers for you and family coming your way! 🥰
I used to get panic attacks, and the mere thought of them was enough to drive me to a place of unexplainable terror. I have such empathy for this condition thrown atop your other medical struggles. Just know the example of your strength and perseverance is so humbling. I am in awe of your grace and love amid your persistent medical hardships.
Hi Jenny, I'm so happy you got to stay at your sisters house. Good for you, the distraction, the whole family, yours and your sister's family to focus on and alleviate some stress. Your sister is a gem. Nice the guys did their thing at Disney as they love it there too. All the kids are adorable, and so are your Disney pj's, hugs and love and prayers as always to you and your precious family.
Sending lots of
love, strength and
prayers Jenny ! 🙌 ❤️
I loved the family pictures. Thank you for sharing them with us.
Thank you to be so transparent with us. I hope the medbeds will come soon to keep you with us many years. We love you, each one. God bless you. ❤❤❤❤
Yes anxiety is no joke I have it since my daughter passed away! ❤🙏🏼🤗and it is not easy to deal with so I understand what your saying. And I also had breathing problems when I smoked I quit it will be 4 yrs next month! I have a feeling you will get better! ❤❤🙏🏼🙏🏼
Sending prayers and much love to you, Kyle and the kids. Also to all your family members. ❤️
Prayers for you every day. We love you, Jenny!
I love getting ur videos letting me know ur doing ok. I worry when I don't see them. Stay strong Jenny. I'm praying for u and the family. ❤❤❤
I understand the need to be by family, even a friend, when nervous. I've had a lifelong panic disorder and it's a huge help and blessing 🙏🏻❤
You guys are so incredibly strong!! Praying for you all❤
I loved spending my time with my sister too. When she got ill , i didn't want to let her go. All the appointments , many appointments, i loved the time with her too. She would say to me " thankyou for all you do, and if one day you get ill , il look after you". She was a positive person, you guys would have really got on so well. She's my angel now , and i get signs all the times, she's my happy angel. Your video had me in tears , cause when you said about having your sister s feet at your head, that's how we used too sleep when we were kids😢. I think your family is amazing . My sisters name is Wendy and has been my angel since April 6th 2021 xx
So happy to see you all, enjoy watching all the things going on! 💝🫶🙏🫣🤪🥰🤩💐🌺🪴🍁🎆🎉🎁🔮🧸🎡
I'm so thankful your sister brings you so much comfort. What a priceless gift.
✋🏻panic/anxiety sufferer and conquerer, here’s my best advice: when I feel anxiety creeping up or am slammed with full on panic, I just say to myself, “ I surrender” and not try to fight it. I’ve gotten so confident in this that my episodes after really subsided quickly. Just trust that our sweet Lord’s arms are around you and you don’t need to try to fight the anxiety. Best to you! I hope this is helpful to you.
Great advice! God bless!❤
@@Wolflairhx1 Not as easy as making a negative comment that isn’t at all helpful. But you weren’t trying to be helpful to Jenny. You are just being flippant.
sending hugs your way, ive been watching your story for a few months now. you are so strong. prayers to you and your family!
Prayers jenny and Kyle and those beautiful children stay strong ❤
