    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.

    It would seem the clinical trial wasn’t working. That said, there was no other choice for a woman in the prime of her life because she couldn’t just do nothing. Maybe it bought them some hope in her last years. Such a sad story.

    I lost my Mum almost a year ago to secondary terminal breast cancer that spread throughout her body. She was 64 when she passed. I’m 36 and it was extremely difficult. I’m at the beginning of a pursuit of a diagnosis for Autism myself so not being able to pick up the phone to call my Mum is affecting me daily. My Mum passed away in April 2022 and my Wife and I got married in July 2022. It was one of my Mum’s dying wishes to see me settled down and married but unfortunately, she couldn’t hold off that little bit longer. My heart really goes out to you and your partner and the kids Jenny. It breaks my heart knowing what you are all going through as I’ve been there when my Mum went through it all. I was 14 when my Mum had breast cancer first time round and it really messed with my head. My Mum didn’t talk to me about it and I never had any support from anyone. What you’re doing with being open with your kid’s is the right thing to do. It may not feel like it at times due to worrying about what all this is doing to them but it absolutely is.

      @@aliceobrien8390 Given that cancer affects so many of us, I wanted to share my experience of dealing with it as a child when my Mum was first diagnosed with it.
      I’m certain that everyone who is diagnosed with Cancer is aware of the seriousness of the illness and how it can go. Perhaps before jumping down my throat over my comment, you ought take a moment to realise that I was offering support to Jenny and particularly backing her being open with her children.
      As I’ve already stated in my initial comment, my Mum wasn’t with me and it caused me to suffer as a child. Children process information a lot more differently to adults and need to be kept in the loop.
      The fact that you are saying that nobody can ever share their own experiences with Cancer with someone else who is suffering as a result of the horrible illness is a pretty narrow minded view from you.
      I think anyone who is suffering from Cancer and sharing it publicly on a social media platform, will be looking for support in what ever way that is. I’ve offered my support for Jenny and considering what I’ve experienced at the hands of the illness, consider myself in a position to share how it’s affected me. If sharing my experience helps a single other person out there, then great.
      Please don’t jump on my comment attacking me because you have an alternative view. There were other people who liked my comment and saw it for what it was. Someone suffering at the hands of Cancer doesn’t need to have it directly. Whether directly or indirectly impacted, it is extremely difficult.
      I’m still finding it extremely hard to grieve the loss of my Mum. I won’t ever get over it. I have adapted to living with her loss but won’t ever get over it.
      Maybe show a little more compassion for other’s who are suffering too instead of taking your ill-informed judgmental stances.

    Jenny it's not cringy, not at all. You handle it all so well with your children. It's impossible to hide it all from them.
    I'm poorly, not cancer, and am now disabled, as of three years ago. I can hardly walk and have carers come in twice a day. I'm a single Mum of five with two minors at home and three who have grown up and left home. The one thing I miss the most is walking. I used to walk our dog for miles and miles, sometimes eighteen miles on my day off, in open countryside where we live. I hate that I won't ever see those places and views again. It was my happy place, just me and the dog and quiet time. Such a simple thing, walking, like you said about cleaning, which people take for granted.
    I'm so sorry that you're bleeding again. That must be miserable for you. Yet you carry yourself with grace throughout and despite of it.
    You are wonderful.

    I wanted to say I wish everyone would have your lovely attitude about living each day in the present . We are none of us promised tomorrow and I love that you spend as much time together as a family and are grateful for every minute.
    Poor Winnie struggling must be so difficult for you she is such a little star and so loving bless her - Ellis is good with her so mature.loved his party.
    Please feel better our friend I have you in my prayers.

    You are so positive and courageous dealing with this cancer, you have motivated me to work much harder on a mobility issue I've had along with a chronic fatigue problem. I am now forcing myself through the pain of the exercises and walking up and down hills I need to do to get the better of it.. following your advise... Do Things now because you don't know when you won't be able.. there are so many things I want to do when I beat this chronic stiffness and work through the pain doing so. You motivate me.. I wish you relief from the pains that are bothering you.. you are a delight to watch and listen to. And you have a beautiful family.

    I love you Jenny! I’m so proud of that strong body of yours and what it was able to accomplish over the weekend! Thank you Lord that our girl was able to do some chores! 🙌🏼
    How adorable is Ellis?! Such a sweet, caring boy. In the car, I believe he was checking in with you to see if he was interrupting you before he started his conversation. So thoughtful . 🥲
    You are incredibly strong Jenny! Not only did you manage your pain with so much grace, you even explained to Ellis what was going on so calmly! You are a super mama!
    I’m sorry you’re getting styes. Might I suggest you avoid wearing eye makeup for the time being as the makeup plus the removal process may be contributing/aggravating your sensitive eyelids.
    Thank you for sharing your life with us. You truly are an inspiration.
    YOU GOT THIS GIRL! 💖🙏🏼

    Hi Jenny, my name is Robyn & I'm in Western Australia. I'm relatively new to your video. I've been binge watching your videos for a few weeks now. I'm so, so sorry that you're going through this. You have the most beautiful family & you all are such valiant fighters. I love how close you all are, especially you & Kyle. It's just so beautiful to watch. What a sweetheart he is. 🤗🥰
    I feel that it's important to have no regrets & you are definitely making that happen. Being open & honest about the realities of what your battling, means that all of you know where you stand & how to help each other cope. I believe that some people are put on this Earth to be teachers, so that they can pass along helpful information to people who need it. Your family are all great teachers, pardon the pun to Kyle. 🤭😁
    My Mother-In-Law also battled non smoking lung cancer. Unfortunately, she has now passed, but she survived alot longer than anyone expected. She had no idea she had it, until an incident while cleaning a window flyscreen made her have to have an x-ray. She discovered she had lung cancer & that the cancer had eaten into one of her vertebrae. She had to have surgery, to have a cage put into the vertebrae to stabilise it. It was absolutely awful. My husband is now battling PTSD & struggled for years to come to terms with it. I'm not going to talk about prognosis stuff, as I feel it would only add to the anxiety you feel. But just know, she lasted far longer than anyone expected, even her doctors. So anything is possible & people such as yourself can really push the limits of possibility.
    For me, I suffer from chronic pain. I have scoliosis from an accident when I was 10, I have severe bone degeneration in my spine, hips & joints & I have Fibromyalgia. I struggle to clean. I struggle with everything really. But I try to be positive & appreciate everything good that comes my way. I love nature & the environment. My son & I love photography & we go out bush & photograph our native Orchids. I also collect model horses. I have a video on my channel of my collection. I have around 800!! I also love doing arts & crafts. So throwing myself into my hobbies really helps me mentally. My Burmese cat Baji is my sweet angel. I love her so much.
    Ok I think I've said enough. I love your videos & eagerly await your updates. All the very, very best to you & your family. 🤗🥰🤗🥰

    Communication is the key, I know with my mum, who had cancer, hid it from us for as long as she could, we knew something was up but when we found out I resented her for a while, cause I felt like time was taken from us that we could/should have spent with her. Now I am older I fully understand why she did it. The bond you have with your children is so strong. Take care.

    I know you told the kids you have cancer but, I was watching Ellis in the car when you said you were having pain. His poor face was worried. I think talking about it in front of the kids lingers in their minds.

      As someone growing up "protected" from the tough reality of my father dying in a car crash, being told he "left briefly overseas to work but he'll be back" and him never returning, I can tell you it's much better to process these things as they happen than to go for years and years to therapy trying to get over the unnerving feeling that whenever someone leaves they might never come back - even if it's to the shop, even if it's a trip some miles away. Panic attacks during childhood and teenage years - I never understood them back then. Our single parent, dealing with everything, didn't have the knowledge to recognise the signs either, they always assumed we (sorry, my brothers and I - I was 6, they were 4) were either too sensitibe, too anxious, claustrophobic or anything else.
      While I don't want to advise them on their parenting choices, I'm telling you, from my perspective, the alternative seems to be grimmer.

    • @sherrydaut4910
      @sherrydaut4910 11 месяцев назад

      @@joanabug4479 of course, I would never tell a child a deceased person has "left" with them thinking they would eventually return. I was just concerned that when she had a bad pain while sitting there, I would have quietly sat there, knowing he was watching and listening. He probably thought about it long after the pain eased. I am a 3 time cancer survivor, I know these moments well.

    Bless your Heart. You are such a good mom and Kyle is a great Dad. You all really encourage and keep a positive attitude. It is good that you talk to your kids about the cancer. You and Kyle make a good team. My Husband is in remission from lung cancer. We just got the scan results. He had small cell lung cancer. It is hard but you are handling it so well. I love that you talk to us and let us know how you feel and share your heart with us. I love you all and you are in my prayers. ❤

      I wished that you would eat good natural meat full of minerals and vitamins instead of plant foods from which it is so hard for the minerals and vitamins to be absorbed...you need so much supplements just to try to survive.
      It would help so much with the pain. When I ate plant food before, I was experiencing so much pain that I could hardly move
      THANKS FOR THE GOOD HUMAN FOODS. HIGH CARB DIET IS WROMG...I WISH YOU THE BEST SINCERELY, LOTS OF BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY.

    When you were thanking God for small things, it reminded me of my tough time almost 2 years ago now. I had a very weird heath situation (I was bitten by a mosquito in the Caribbean & a lymph node enlarged due to the virus in it) and had 3 treatments of immunotherapy - which were tough, but it cured me… I was comforted by a Scripture Verse: Philippines 4:6-7 which says “Do not be anxious about anything, but in all things by prayer and supplication (asking), with thanksgiving make your requests known to God, and the peace of God, which passes all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.” Remember that and ask God to help see you through this by also thanking Him for all things. My husband and I will pray for you!

    Hi Jenny, 11 years ago I became ill with a chronic illness that attacks my central nervous system and causes severe pain in my body 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I just wanted to say I totally relate to what you mentioned about cleaning. As a wife and mother, one of the hardest things has been not being able to help put with the housework. I took a lot of pride in helping keep the house for my family. When I am able to help out on a rare occasion, it feels so good. I miss it so much and wish I could help more!

PS I appreciated your comments regarding cleaning & mobility. I work in a hospital as a PCT and help people with mobility issues. The 12 hour shifts are physical and emotionally tiring sometimes but I try to remind myself to be thankful I am a helper....and not a patient when I am sore & tired from a physical job! It always perks me up to maintain the proper perspective and keep my focus on the patient, rather than my aches etc. You are helping people in ever widening concentric circles with sharing your story!!
