After being diagnosed with Stage 3 (possibly 4) ovarian cancer during surgery on my left ovary back in June 2022, I decided to pursue treatment at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. So far I have been through six rounds of paclitaxel and carboplatin. I have also had two inconclusive biopsies (on my liver and lymph nodes). On Monday, January 16, 2023, I had a tumor debulking surgery that included a laparotomy, hysterectomy, salpingo-oophorectomy, lymphadenectomy and an omentectomy. After 8+ hours of surgery, a 12 inch incision, 4 nights in the hospital and a whole lot of pain and nausea, I am currently recovering at our Airbnb in Rochester.

First off, I just wanna say I'm using my husband's phone so the name comes across as Lester, but it's me Cher, his wife. I have the same "phobia" you have with nausea and vomiting...it scares the living hell out of me, so in that respect I know how you r feeling...and I'm so very sorry for all that u are going thru. I wish I could take it all away from you.
You looked and sounded so much better at the end of the video.
We all love you both!
Thank you Brian for taking such good care of Jessica and loving her so much!
My ❤️ and prayers are with you
Psalm 91 🙏💕
Praying you are healing more and more each day Jessica. ❤
Hurting, alone, and exhausted....but she still gets the footage from the back of the ambulance. You are amazing.
Retired surgical nurse here...look into sniffing alcohol swabs or fumes from an (medical/rubbing/ isopropyl) alcohol bottle for the nausea. It helps most of the time just as well as the meds, and faster. Take several inhales of the alcohol, then breathe normally (just room air), then a few more whiffs of the alcohol. Don't know if you guys will read this but hope it helps in the future, and I sure hope you have a bunch of 'normal' days in your very near future.
They have to make sure its ethanol based and not methanol or isoproponal.
❤️👌🏼👏🏼also nurse 😊
thank you for the tip
Funny that you offer this method for staving off nausea when that smell makes me want to hurl. I’ve never been offered oils to sniff. That one sounds much more appealing. 🤧
I use 100% pure peppermint oil- 1 to 2 drops on the palm of hand, rub hands together, then cup your hands over nose & mouth, & breath deeply (make sure your hands don’t touch eyes and mouth or the peppermint burns).
Amazing Brian……a treasure for his Jessica and an example to all husbands and partners out there! Jessica is the bravest person in the world!! 🙏♥️
Yes, she is, Karen. They both are.
❤❤❤❤
Besties for life!
So so so sorry, guys. Wish we could all share and relieve you of the pain. Love and hugs to you both.
“In sickness and in health”. I’m so proud of both of you and pray without ceasing daily. Ovarian cancer in 1972 and so much research and progress has been made. 🙋♀️☕️❤️🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸
Wow 50 years later still putting people thru the ringer and you say so much progress has been made ??! I guess that’s the delusional nice way of putting it…. 🫢 y’all weird this looks crazy when Jesus gave us herbs that literally heals ALL DISEASE
@@changenow6002 ouch. I think I was just admonished. So sorry I took the time (as did you, btw) ti comment. That won’t happen again!!!
❤@Miss Joyce Fox it's a lovely encouraging comment. I wish the same for Jessica 🙏
Actually, I got a nasty/gram from this post so I won’t be posting again. I pray for your healing and I will be thinking of you. I was merely sharing with you me surviving cancer lo these many years ago when surviving was less than 2%. God loves you and so do I! ❤️🙏
Pay that person no mind Joyce. We certainly appreciate the prayers. And you are correct, a lot more progress has been made in treatments since 1972. 🙂
This is probably par for the course after major surgery and not really “setbacks”. With each day it is bound to get better. “One day at a time” is the best way to look at it. You are in the best hands between the Mayo team and your wonderful Brian! Hang in there! Prayers going up for you! ❤
Hang in there Jessica. I feel in my heart you are going to make a full recovery. Healing takes time. You will do this. Gas is a horrible thing after surgery. Prayers all the way around.
You are in our prayers, dear lady!!
Amen! We are knocking on heaven's door continuously for Jessica and Bryan.
Brian is such an old soul. So patient and calm. Sending you prayers, good thoughts, and lots of healing vibes.
after having a cancer related radical hysterectomy at the age of 36, i ended up with an infection that kept me in the hospital for 13 days, unable to eat. i went home with a bag on each side, and had to wear them for weeks. my mom called me the bag lady. I'm happy you have brian to see you through the pain and discomfort
What causes the build up of fluid?
That there is a hopeful note!
@@kate1830 Thank you for the education. ⚕️🩻🩺
So sorry that you went through this. So glad you are well!!
@@tamarabeck6350 they nicked my bowel during surgery, causing an infection
Keeping you in prayer Jessica, as well as you too Brian!
Considering her surgery, I was surprised that they didn't keep Jessica in the hospital for at least a week! Take care!❤
It turns out the longer you stay in the hospital the more complications you have. Nosocomial infections are number one. You’re better to be at home recovering with your own germs
Seriously!! As a nurse, I couldn’t believe they let her out so quickly….
I would have thought at least a week, at the least
I totally agree!
Take care Jessica ❣️ pray for pray 🙏
So sorry for what you are going through. Your husband is so positive. Take care & heal🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💖
Fighting that monster is not for sissy's nor smooth. It takes a strong person and after watching you - you are that person and with a beautiful attitude. Wishing you the best and sending you a hug.
The way you are documenting this journey gives such a clear picture of what it is like to navigate to healing. Sending all the love and hugs in the world.
And we will be watching the journey till you’re well
100%. I’ve said a ways back, but this is such a huge blessing for all of us. I feel like we’ll all either go through it or be helping a loved one at some point. Love the comments from those who have been through it as well. Sharing this with us all is SO much appreciated.
My mother had cancer and was at Mayos in 1952 when I was 2 and she was 34. She loved St Marys…btw she lived to be 82.sending love❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Oof, when you said “I just want to feel normal,” I felt that. So many of us take that for granted until we get sick or injured. I hope you feel more normal every day!
The first time I felt kind of normal after chemo was when I got a cold. It was such a weird relief to have a normal illness!
I dislike seeing Jessica feel so unwell. I want to give her the biggest (most gentle) hug ever. You’re doing awesome, Jessica. Brian is such an amazing Husband/Soul. Lots of Love & Strength to You Both ♥️✨.
Congratulations for breaking the 100,000 subscriber mark. You have so many people pulling and praying for you. You are both in my prayers every day.
I am so sorry you are both going through this. I am on a journey with terminal autoimmune (SSc)
and multiple myeloma (MM). I completely understand the things you are going through. Prayers and positive energy your way!
I'm so sorry. Words are so inadequate but I'm sending you a hug.
Sending hugs, love & healing intentions to ease your pain & fear to you too. I’m sorry you’re suffering. ♥️✨
God bless you and your family ❤️✝️

Sorry for what you’re going through praying
Prayers for you, Jessica & Brian. I love you both. Please stay strong. 🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼 xxx
I’m so sorry 😢. My heart breaks for what you’re having to go through…. You two are so strong… praying for a breakthrough! ❤
Prayers for you, Brian, your doctors. Crying out to God for you. You are both amazing! 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️ The Great Physician is in charge.
Dear Father! Please give Jessica full relief of this disgusting nausea, that's the worst! Father, please heal Jessica not only from this surgery, but from this cancer and anything else messing with her body! Thank you so much for providing her Brian for such love, comfort, and companionship! Lord, thank You for providing Mayo Clinic, of all the places in our county, You have provided the best one to her! Please continue to provide financially for this precious couple and as they walk through this fire together, please help them to keep their senses of humor for those occasional moments that really are funny! In Jesus' name, Amen!
Amen🙏🏻
🙏Amen
Yes please Jesus 🙏
Amen
Amen.
Prayers for u get better soon god hear our prayers for now
Even when she’s feeling rotten, she’s such a natural beauty!
Truth~Jessica has such a natural glow about her, with those lovely big, blue eyes, plus a beautiful smile☆☆...She and Hubby B. are truly such an adorable TEAM together♡♡:) Holly in Surprise, Arizona
Jessica is indeed beautiful inside and out.
Best care in the world at Rochester Mayo. Good luck.
You are so strong!!! I’m amazed you can sit up?? Hang in there, it will get better!!! (9 yr Breast cancer survivor ). 😍
Bless your heart. Praying you feel better. Two weeks ago, I flushed my PICC line and wound up in the hospital a few hours later with a blood infection. The first nurse in the ER placed my IV in the bend of my right arm. I questioned her choice. When it blew a hour later, same nurse went for the bend in my left arm. Within a couple of hours that IV blew. There I was, with a dirty PICC line that couldn't be used. Getting stuck over and over again for new IVs. Spent 4 days in the hospital and still bruised up. My heart goes out to you. ❤️
What should the nurse have done differently?
Sending healing thoughts vibes
Sending so much love from Ontario Canada!
Thinking of you daily xo
I know you had hopes - but I’m so grateful you are in the Mayo system. I hope your recovery takes a positive turn now. I just am moved to tears by the loving bond you and B share. Thank God for that love and care between you. Sending prayers to you both every day.
Spent time in St Mary’s ER very with my brother. Our nurses were the absolute best! You are in good hands in Rochester ❤
As totally rotten and fed up as you are, your smile is still blinding! You are a total inspiration. The best sign is that your sense of humour is intact and fully functioning. Get lots of the healing B hugs and know that you are being bombarded by love from all of us. Ps Love the fuzzy glow from all the new growth - it looks blond!
Will come back blonde and curley ..Hubby's going to think he's got a new lady..A friend of mine, her hair came back curly and black.Praying for you ...
Thoughts and prayers are with you Jessica and Brian! There is nothing worse than feeling sick! 😢❤🙏🏻
Jessica, I don't know if you will see this, but you spoke straight to my soul. In July I perforated my gallbladder and had to have major abdominal surgery. Because of some complications, they were unable to remove my gallbladder and I have had a drain for the last 6 months to try and let it heal.
Even though I have a wonderful, supportive fiance (very much like Brian), it is very hard not to let this kind of stuff get to you. The pain, pressure, nausea, and feeling like this will never end can really get to you. When you said "I just need a hug" I felt every emotion wrapped up in that. Sending you a hug and letting you know you aren't alone either. We will get through this!
You poor, poor thing. Nausea is so terrible. I will pray for you to have some relief and feel better.
You two are such a beautiful example of an amazing partnership and love. I teared up Jessica when you were talking about missing your man, just wanting him back with you. I could hear and see the longing and desperation to get your life back, your B back. You are so amazing. You are showing up and handling every single mountain before you. You are kicking ass and getting better. Brian- you are the example of what a good man and husband is.
Wishing you some relief from the nausea and pain. Be kind to yourself, take the time you need to heal, treasure this time with your special bestie, Brian. He is a keeper.❤. Thinking of you both.
Aww sending prayers your way Jessica, Brian is an extraordinary husband, you can see the special bond you have with each other. I hope they can find out what's going on and you can be on the road to recovery. God bless you both 🙏❤️🙏
I had the same surgery, plus lost my colon, bladder lift and reconstruction. I felt worse after coming home and ended up back in hosp with severe dehydration. Take one day at a time. Surgery is really hard on the body.
Jessica, your body has been through so much. It stands to reason that it’s going to take time to heal. So please don’t think of this is a setback, but rather your body adjusting and doing what it does best to get you better! Our bodies have amazing healing powers and hopefully, you will see improvement every day!!!❤
Dear Jessica, I am full of admiration for you and Brian. I have only just found your channel as I am waiting for some tests because I am having worrying symptoms which are typical of ovarian cancer. The big difference is that I am 75 and can't imagine how this must have felt in your mid thirties.
Brian seems to be so supportive of you which must be wonderful. It seems to be so ironic that you took your health so firmly into your own hands and lost so much weight and yet you got this awful disease. You are tackling it so bravely. I will be watching your progress and sending you positive vibes. You are so inspiring. Carol UK
Hope all is ok. Thinking of you and sending love. ❤
We are all sending prayers and love ❤
I pray you healing. You'll absolutely be fine.
The closeness between the two of you brought me to tears. You need your B. You needed a hug. God bless you.
Jessica, praying for you and Brian during your journey....I went through cancer treatments in 2010...my husband was my rock as Brian is yours. Stay positive.
May God relieve you of your pain and nausea sweet Jessica. I pray for your strength and that you may feel normal again soon. I also pray for Brian’s continued strength. I’ve watched you all for a few months now and I’m not sure why this video made me cry, but my heart goes out to you all. Keeping you all in my prayers ❤
I’ve heard when something is taken out fluid builds up so the drains are very helpful. When I had abdominal surgery I had a drain on both sides. My fluids were blood red your are just a rose color so not as bad. Stay until you really feel better so you have a comfort level when you are released.
You’re a superhero - The Drain-inator! And you will get through this 🦸🏻♀️
I can’t believe you are still making videos - It’s amazing that you are letting everyone come along on your journey with you.
I have been looking forward to the updates but I hope you two are not burning yourself out making these videos at such a challenging time.
Thinking of you both and sending Jessica healing vibes ❤
Jessica when you said you needed a hug my sweet kitty Binx reached up and patted you on the face.
Feeling nauseous is sooo horrible it's soooooo wonderful when it stops. 🙏
So, so, sooo looking forward to that day when you and B come back and say, "I've reached remission and cancer free!" That will be an awesome day and one we are all cheering for. God Bless you Jessica.
Y'all are so brave. May peace be with you.
I’m sorry you’re going through so much Jessica and Brian.
Hi there - I KNOW how it feels to have to go back into the hospital when you're finally out.
I'm rooting for you girl!! Sending prayers and love.
as you are going thru this health crisis, I am so glad you were blessed to have great health care to get the care you need ❤ I hope you feel great again soon!
Stay strong you two!!!! So sorry you have to deal with all this!! My prayers are for you too!
Continued love, hugs and prayers. You are so brave to be sharing your journey with all of us. I think of you often and pray for your healing and some comforting peace for both of you.
praying for a beautiful summer for the both of you
Sorry to hear you had to go back. My situation was similar. Uncomfortable ER beds to the pain/nausea. I was beginning to think it would never end. I had 2 drains like yours for 4 weeks. That sucked. I’m praying for you both.
Prayers for you, Jessica, and Brian. Hang in there; this too shall pass! 🙏💕
If it brings you any comfort, I'm sure you have many people praying for you.
Your voice is strong so that's a good sign.
Wishing you health and healing. May God guide you along your journey. Be well.
May God be your strength. 🙏
My heart hurts for you.. Saying LOTs of PRAYERS for you Brian and your family.. God Bless
Oh man, your a trooper going through all this!
I love your strength and courage. You might not be feeling it yourself, but it is coming through your video loud and clear. You are in my prayers.
Brian, thank you for taking such good care of Jessica❤️. Sending you both much Love.
Sending prayers to you & Brian. 🙏🙏🙏 I completely understand when you say you need your "B". I'm currently healing from my fourth back surgery, and it's a fusion in my lower lumbar. A long slow process. I have days that when he gets home I just need my gentle "Bear" to hold me until I fall asleep. By the way, my only pain meds are Tylenol because I'm allergic to all narcotics, so yeah, I have immense pain. Thank you for sharing your journey. Hugs.
Kudos to you for your understanding your feelings and your ability to communicate so clearly. Thank you.
God bless you Jessica, you’ve been through so much 🙏🏻. You’re very brave.
My heart goes out to you. Had the exact same surgery on May 5, 2022 while visiting South Dakota for the summer. Fortunately my wonderful doctors at Monument Cancer Center have it under control after surgery and radiation.
I admire your strength and positive attitude. Be strong and get better soon! We are in this fight together!!
Rooting for you Jessica and sending you a big hug 🤗 from Texas and since everything is bigger in Texas, this is a big hummongous HUG!!! Brian, hello to ya and kudos to ya for being such an awesome care partners!
You are so brave and your husband is the best. Sending healing energy and loving thoughts 💖🙏
I’m sorry for your rough ride. I pray at least twice per day for you and a Brian.
Oh WOW! You are SO amazing to bother making and posting these! I SO appreciate knowing what's going on and how to pray. I'm SOOOOO sorry for this bump-filled journey. It's really amazing to see you two powering through it. Your skin is FLAWLESS. It's looking so good, and your super cute baby bird hair fuzz growing in fully. You're going to look super cute with each length. This truly is a journey of being in the moment and just doing the next right thing. LOTS of love, prayers, and Peef!
My friend, I am so, so glad you have such wonderful support around you. May peace, serenity, comfort and love find and surround you through the remainder of your journey, no matter how it shakes out in the wash. Know that you are loved, valid and amazing, no matter what. In case you haven't heard this today, I'm proud of you for making it this far. You've got this, Jessica!
Hard to get any rest in the hospital. Someone always wants to stick you with a needle, check your blood pressure, etc. Hope you can rest when you get out.
Prayers & love to you & Brian! 💕 May the rest of your recovery be filled with ease, peace, & comfort! 🙏❤️
Hope you feel better SOON. We love you and your sweet husband. Love from Norway
Jess you are such a trooper - and Brian is amazing! Prayers continue.... the best part was seeing you leave the hospital! Continue to rest and heal ❤🙏🏻
I don’t know which is worst: nausea or pain I kind of think I’d rather have pain. How awful you had both. Good you went to ER and got a second drain. Feel better Jessica ❤
I agree I’d rather have the pain
For sure I’d rather have pain!! I’ve had a lot of both pain and nausea (often the pain so bad I vomit) but I’d take pain before nausea!!
Nausea is often worse than pain....that nurses' suggestion of sniffing alcohol?
Worth a try?
Sending love from Tasmania
Yep me too, nausea has to be one of the worst feelings (if not the worst) that there is.
I hate pain but during my pregnancy I had HG which is an extreme form of morning sickness where I was nauseous from the 2nd month to the end of pregnancy 24/7. Some days I thought death was better than this. I preferred the pain to that. Nausea is an awful feeling especially when it just doesn’t go away.
so sorry you are having such a difficult time. You are both brave. Hugs.
So sorry to hear you're having so much nausea. I'm hoping that you'll feel better very soon. You two are so fortunate to have one another!
Hugs and best wishes. I feel so sorry for you and hope from here on you have a smooth recovery. Remember soon you can leave this all behind and look forward to life!!
Sending you two so much love and a bunch of gold stars for enduring such a challenging journey. Hugs.
You are where you need to be. I know you are frustrated but as Brian says…you got this. You are amazing!!! Love and prayers❤️
Hope you are doing better as of this viewing. I also had cancer surgery at Mayo during the height of covid and a few days after discharge I also had to go to the ER. We had to spend 13 hours there, the first 8 just out in the waiting room and it sucked. Wasn't expecting that. I hated that I had to go in an ambulance to get readmitted.
Bless your heart, I hope you feel better soon, I am preying for you to have a complete recovery.
Prayers to you sweet girl
What a tough time Jessica but you made it through. Be proud, I am proud of you!!
You poor girl, my heart goes out to you both, it must be nice to be in this together, you have each other’s backs, get better soon 👌🏻💕💐
Keep you in prayer smooth recovery ❤️🩹 🙏🏾
I hear ya Jessica and I feel ya to, I’m a week and a day out from my 6th Chemo and all I want is to feel normal again! All I want is a clear scan!! Please God hold any and everyone going through health issues. We call on your strength to come within us! Keep us on the right path and help us heal. In Jesus name we pray. Amen
Hang in there! Things will get better. Love & prayers from Canada. 🇨🇦
I’m so sorry for your suffering. My daughter had abdominal surgery last year. She went home with 3 drains. They stayed in until they were draining less than 25 ccs total. It wasn’t fun. She is doing well now. I hope those drains are able to come out quickly. You remain in my prayers
Thinking of both of you and keeping you in my prayers. Hope all is as well as it can be!
You guys have really grown on me!!
Hope you feel better sooner than later.
Jessica I hope you're feeling better and they've got the nausea sorted out. Congrats on the 100,000 subscribers!! It may be the last thing on your mind tonight, but I'm hoping you'll be able to do a cameo appearance on your Sunday celebration video. Sleep well ❤️❤️
big big big hugs sweet angel Im praying for you and crying for you. you still look pretty and deserve relief ❤❤❤
