    As a mother of three girls of my own , I am so proud of you. Life isn’t always fair and I applaud you for being an inspiration to others who might not have the support system that you are blessed to have. I have watched the pain in your mothers eyes as she continued to try to create content for her viewers, all the while remaining firm in her resolve to allow this to be your journey. I won’t lie…I wanted to know what was hurting her so much. I knew it had to be serious, because she has proven herself to be a very strong woman. To say apples don’t fall far from trees has proven to be an understatement. I pray that you are not only fully healed, but that your journey makes you stronger than ever. Your future children will have THE best mom. Of this I have no doubt.

So so difficult to watch Sandi and Mark go thru this. But with Jess being such a strong young woman..... that must make it a bit easier. Atleast I hope it does.

With this positivity and strength from the get go, there is no doubt you will beat this. Keep this up girl. However, please remember its ok to cry, scream and just feel like you don't have control.

      Amen, Jim! Family and friend support are the foundation for the great outcomes of anything in life. My dad died in 1999 from colon cancer. He had so many growths and tumors that the surgeon couldn't figure out which organ was which. They reason for the surgery was for an area that the colon ruptured. However, by the grace of God, he lived on for almost 3 months (which was a miracle). Family and friends helped me and mom through it.

I am an 83 year grandma in a convalesent(sp?) home and I love your mom and her sheep. They always put women with alzheimers(sp?) in with me so I can keep an eye on them and try to entertain them. I've had four in the last 2 1/2 years and they have all loved your sheep too. They all seem to really enjoy it when the sheep run from one end of the barn to the other and then turn around and run back. I'm so glad I found you when I was recovering from Covid, neck surgery and this new residence I now am in. You've shown me what a positive attitude can do Sandi and I thank you for that. I try to keep a positive attitude and pass it on to other "inmates" as I call us. Love and prayers to your whole family.

Witch has confiscated my driving privileges. They just keep running test after test on those expensive machines and it's been over 10 months since I nosedived into the carpet with a staph infection of all my internal organ.!! but I'm doing just fine now. After the maximum allowable time Medicare (7 days), will pay for a hospital say.!!!!! The one that can clear me just keeps making the test more difficult.

    Dear Jess,
    As I sit down to write this, my heart is filled with empathy and understanding for what you are going through. Cancer is a formidable foe, and one that I know all too well. From 21 until 23 as a young guy, just until very recently, I fought that foe, I found myself battling this insidious disease, and it was a fight that lasted for over two years.
    During that time, I underwent countless rounds of ineffective chemotherapy, endured more than 13 surgeries, and faced more challenges than I ever thought possible. But through it all, I refused to give up. I fought with every fiber of my being, and I emerged victorious.
    As I look back on that difficult chapter in my life, I am filled with a deep sense of gratitude for all of the love and support that I received along the way. And now, as I extend my digital hand out to you, I want you to know that you are not alone.
    I have a tremendous amount of respect for you, Jess, and I know that you are a fighter too. Whatever the future holds, I believe that you will be able to overcome any obstacle that comes your way. And most importantly, I hope that you are able to find happiness and joy in the days ahead.
    In closing, I want to remind you that you are loved, you are strong, and you are capable of achieving great things. Keep your head held high, and know that there is a community of people who are rooting for you every step of the way, at least I see this in the comments all around.
    With love and admiration,

    As a multi time surrogate I can tell you the injections are always intimidating, that first week of injections was always something I had to work my self up to. You did an excellent job of getting it done so much faster than most people

      I thought she rocked the injections like a pro, too. As a nurse, it is hard to do the first one, yet it gets easier each time. It's tough trying to put the idea of stabbing yourself on purpose. Thank you for being a surrogate! Applause! Warm hugs from Alabama ❤️

    I'm an 82 year old grandpa. My Bride and I had our own vigil as our oldest daughter battled a brain tumor during the COVID lockdowns. (Thankfully, it's currently in remission.)
    I love watching Your mom and her sheep. You are people of the land, that's why God gave You an extra special strength. I know Your parents would gladly step in and take this for You, but alas, we all have to sit by and lift You in our continuous prayers as You journey, But Not Alone.
    Grandpa.

    Jess, I mentioned on your last video that you might really enjoy watching fellow Canadian YTers, Eamon and Beck. Beck went thru what you're doing now, just last year and documented her entire journey from finding out, fertility drugs, egg extraction, surgery, chemo, radiation, hair loss, wigs or no wigs, sickness, depression, exhaustion, doctors visits, and luckily, the coming out the other side and returning to their van life in Mexico.
    It's such a great story and so inspiring. I keep thinking it will resonate with you because you have so much in common.
    Good luck and stay strong. You've got this.

Unfortunately even in this day in age Canadian health-care is still behind on understanding and research in this field. I wish you the absolute best Jess and thank you for taking a very very personal and private matter of yours and vlogging it so that others around the world can also see its a true struggle, not just for older women but young women too. You and your family are brave. Wishing only positive vibes from New Brunswick Canada❤❤

I like that you are taking control and trying to minimize emotional distress later on in your chemo treatment. And Jess, the hairstyle is perfect. You radiate the beauty of an angel. Hugs, love, and all the things!

Once the needle was in it was a bit better.... but it hurts... and I was so scared. I never took it for granted anymore. It made me a better nurse. So yes my sweetie, you are brave. Plus the hormone swings... you are incredibly strong Jess. And you are doing great. ❤❤❤. Hang in there you are going to be okay... your positivity and your strength will give a lot of people courage... I am proud of you. 😊
