We are Brian & Jessica, a married couple who started on a life-changing whole food, plant-based weight loss journey back in June 2018. In June 2022, our lives were flipped upside-down when Jessica was diagnosed with Stage 3 (possibly 4) ovarian cancer. We continue to share our adventures (highs, lows, struggles & everything in between) in following a plant-based diet while keeping you up-to-date on Jessica's cancer treatment.

Thank you for all that you do. This may sound weird but what you are doing is an invaluable public service. Years from now, you'll look back on these videos and realize all the good you've done. Your honesty has touched (and will continue to touch) the lives of countless people you will never meet. It really goes beyond words. There's something truly groundbreaking about what you are doing.
Here’s one thing to celebrate for certain-the beautiful relationship you two have! If everyone were so happily married the world would be a far better place! Treasure it and never take it for granted.
Brian is one special man. He has been with you every step of this journey. God Bless you both
I just needed to say...I have had Ovarian Cancer for 7 years now. I decided not to do any surgery. It still amazes me how wonderfully different we all are. We each get to make the right choice for our own bodies and life. I am so very proud of you for making your own choices. We all set our own path. Stay strong you are helping so many others who have just started walking this path.
I had cervical cancer at 25 and at 27 had a complete hysterectomy. It was so emotional even though I had 2 small boys at the time. I felt like I wasn't going to be a real woman anymore and so many other emotions. Girl once I healed and I did do hormones due to my age and future bone issues. Not having a period is AMAZING. Lol all those emotions about not being a real woman go away. Ik you don't have children but there are so many options these days that you can still be a mom. In 2020 I became very sick ended up with endocarditis, mersa phenomena and super high fevers 107 at times. I died at 1 point ended up in a coma for a month , had 2 open heart surgeries in 6 months spent 4 months in the hospital straight was on a vent for 3 month 32 days into being on the vent I had to get a trech. Very traumatic had a 2% survival prognosis my dr had no hope with the 1st open heart. He honestly only did it to say he tries everything and gave me every chance to live. I am so happy he took the risk because it paid off. I had everything done at Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio. Ik how scary all this is how traumatic, emotional, exhausting, depressing and just bull shit being sick is. Keep faith and hope know your not alone and so many people are praying for you. I am here watching and happy you finishes finished chemo that's a huge deal!! Follow your heart and love life to the fullest. Feel free to hit me up can give you my email if you ever wanna just talk or someone to listen that understands what's your going through. I send all my love and strength to you.
Babygirl you are beautiful without a wig. Your beauty comes from within you.
Hi Jessica and Brian 😊 Thank you for the update. Being a cancer survivor myself, you got this!! Look at how far you’ve come! I also had a very rare case of cancer. I had a gulf ball size tumor in my sinus cavity that was a form of lung cancer!! Who in the world gets lung cancer in their sinus cavity?? I did and there is only a very small percentage in the world. But I made it…. 7 years cancer free!! You got this Jessica and keep the fight going ❤🙏🏻
No matter what surgeon has to remove, don't worry about that. Your main concern right now is survival. Don't waste your energy on doubting your womanhood or stoma bag, right now you have to put all your energy into survival. And I know you will. You and your husband are very precious people and you will fight this and later enjoy all good things life will bring your path.
Just FYI: when my surprise cancer diagnosis happened last year and I went to MAYO, they had me fully prepped for a permanent colostomy bag. Had me talk to stoma nurses and everything. I was in shocked tears! Then, (this is what I LOVE about MAYO), my surgeon met with some brilliant 35 year old robotic genius, and they decided together they could save my rectum! And that’s exactly what they did! Colostomy bag free over a year later! If I had gone anywhere else, I’d have a whole different life right now! Praise God for the humbleness of the MAYO docs and surgeons!
You guys are adorable. I wish you all the best.
I hope all goes well with the surgery. BTW, if you are in MN next week, it’s going to get cold. Don’t forget winter coats, hats, gloves, etc. I’m a native and I’m already mentally preparing for single digits and below zero temps. Brr!
I had a radical hysterectomy at 42 and because I had such horrendous periods due to endometriosis, suffered with major depression each month.. after the hysterectomy I never felt better. It did throw me into the change of life and I did have night sweats for a while but that was it. Depression lifted because of less hormonal fluctuations and for me it was the best thing that ever happened to me. I miscarried in my younger years and was never able to have children so that I struggled with for a while but I accepted that it wasn't to be in my life. It did not change anything in my womanhood so to speak. I truly wish you the best!!
That darling wig will keep the noggin warmer for sure ! You both are doing a great job with what most can’t even imagine( one of the hardest things is heading to a hotel instead home when you feel terrible ) so hats off to you for maintaining a strong onward direction! I totally believe it is all going to work out . Godspeed , keeping you in prayer.
You guys are in my prayers! Prayers being said! “By His stripes you were healed”❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Prayers to you both. You'll do great with surgery. Brian, please take care of your health and wellness too.
You two are precious! You are loved around the world.❤
My sons treatment lasted for almost 3.5 years. It was soooooo long and I thought I would be excited for it to be finished but I was scared. It saved him and kept him alive. It also made him very sick but I was so scared to finish. He was 7 then and he’s now 19 🎉I will be praying you get you live a long and healthy life ❤ always stay positive. Always choose happy 😊
I can't get over you guys' strength and optimizm that you guys are showing through all of this. We're all rooting for you and praying for you both.
FWIW I had a sudden and total hysterectomy at age 42, and was pretty freaked out. But I had a good (female) gyn who made sure I got onto hormone replacement, which was a lifesaver for me, in terms of energy and mental health. (I weaned off in my 50s) Once recovered I felt better than I had before, since my ovaries had been malfunctioning and hormones were erratic. I know it's fairly terrifying at some level , but I learned that people I don't even know will take very good and careful care of me. Which let me trust the process more. I'm praying for you.
