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.
My step-dad survived stage 4 lung cancer. He was the only one on experimental treatment. You can be the one! Jenny, thank you so much for sharing your story and emotions. Most of us do not discuss it. You have helped others I promise you. Please take care of yourself sweetie.
Did he live?

🙏 Praying for you!!
If someone could live a long life based on inner beauty kindness and goodness alone Jenny you’d live to 100! You’re a truly wonderful person and I pray for you and your gorgeous family every day xx 🌈
I went through the cancer journey with my Mum and I think only those who have been there realise how mentally, emotionally and physically exhausting it can be with tests, scans, treatments, appointments, etc.
You are so right!
I went through it with my poor dad
Yes I went through it with my husband. Hated It! Drained every inch of both our lives... It changed my life forever.
When she asked him if he was ok and they stared at each other. He said yeah but it hit my heart in a way... I never felt from him anything but being super "optimistic". Today it just hit me what a wonderful man he is and what a beautiful family they have. Cancer is never going to get in the way of such great love!!!! Prayers for this strong beautiful family 🙏🏻
In the cancer world, Jenny you are 100% right, this is good news. This unexpected appointment today must have been a big shock and scare for you both, on top of the pain and anxiety you have been struggling with. Sleep well tonight special lady 😘. You guys are handling this journey INCREDIBLY well. God Bless you both!
How can a stranger (me) make your day better?
This woman has to be one of the most sweetest souls on earth, I truly hope god heals her🙏
I have struggled with debilitating anxiety where I think I might die it's so bad. Lately I have picked up my Bible straight away and started reading the Psalms. I find it helps a great deal. I'm not sure if this is a possibility for you, but just wanted to mention it.
Tegan, do you have an illness that puts you in this thought pattern? I can relate to the anxiety distraction, I watch Monkey video's to calm down.
Your text has helped me. Hope it helps Jenny. Ty for it.
My reply is for the Bible comment.
I know you're struggle mine is the same. I don't think anxiety is not playing a big part in jenny. I have had a cancer journey as well sigmoid cancer out. Take care x
Oh how great, such good news! We are praying for you dear friend. I went through something devastating in my life and took medication for anxiety for a few years, it helped greatly to kind of stabalize me emotionally. After a few years I was able to cut back and discontinue the meds. Please consider, we care about you and want you to live your best life enjoying your life and family. God bless you, Kyle, children and extended family.
Be aware that anxiety will destroy your body and by destroying your time. You could be enjoying this time and sleep well. Did you know that during sleep, your brain heals and repairs and organizes itself. Don't worry about enduring this, you in the fight for your
I have taken anxiety meds for 30years. Decided I didn't need anymore. What a mistake that was. Anxiety attaches are no joke. Please consider taking on an ongoing basis. Anxiety is negative to your body. Praying for you. ox
I will add same, im surprised they didn't put you on Xanax or Lorazepam, Diazapam if not Ask for it anxiety eats away at you not getting restorative sleep and calms the nerves that shingles cause please ask for more help and don't ever feel bad about it , ask for a life coach or liason person who will help you navigate the meds , processes & procedures you endure. I know its hard to ask but you deserve n need this now . Big gentle hugs 🤗
Keep the Faith 🙏
I love you guys! So focused and positive. Everyday I think what would Kyle and Jenny do? There will never be another Jenny Appleford.
I was missing you Jenny so I been watching your older videos. It made me happy and sad at the same time. I can't believe that your gone!😢😢😢You was in life a true 👼 Angel and now we look to the sky for our Angel. Rest in peace beautiful woman you are my hero always. God bless you Kyle and kids....wish the best for you all always.
Your face look slimmer u look really well , can't believe how much your son looks like your husband xx
Cancer hasn’t taken away your natural beauty. I know how scary that must be waiting for results. Love you both and continuing to pray for you.🥰
Agreed - beautiful inside and out.
Jenny I was diagnosed in 2019 with stage 4 lung cancer Had a tiny met on brain they treated with radiation 1zap and it was gone About 7 months into chemo and immunotherapy 3 more tiny Mets popped up They treated them with radiation 2 disappeared 1 still shows up but is stable that was 2020 I really know how scary this can be but I’m still here No more since I’m praying for you Stay strong You are amazing!
Glad your scan was ok for now . I can’t imagine how stressful it is waiting for your results . Sending love hugs and prayers to all of you ❤❤❤❤
I HATE cancer! I’ve lost my mom & some friends to this disease - but I also know people who have “beat it” and I believe you will too. I’ve only been following your journey for 6 months, but I love you & your family so much! You are so brave and so courageous to share with us what you go through. And please NEVER worry about sleeping too much. That’s your body healing itself - so let it!
In cancer world this IS good news. It's a rough journey, but as a family you shine like diamonds ❤️
You do so many activities with your family, and you and Kyle are wonderful parents! When cancer exhaustion hits hard take time to rest worry and guilt free. Glad you had a positive report from your doctor!
my cousin is going though cancer right now. she has lung cancer and they found something on her brain the other day . she is a strong lady she works a full time job during her treatments and then is very tried after. We do facetime and you can tell she is very tried. Jenny Im glad your MRI was good news.. Please take time to relax. God Bless to you and your family
I found myself having anxiety waiting for Kyle to tell us the brain MRI results. I am so sorry Jenny you are going through this. My heart goes out to both of you. Kyle is so awesome a husband. I'm really glad he is with you on this journey.
Hi guys my name is Tiffany, I’ve been watching you for the past 6 months now and I just want to say you guys are amazing parents and are so strong! My grandma lives in la Verne and goes to city of hope, and from what I hear it’s full of amazing doctors we just live in Bakersfield so when I say I feel so close to you guys I literally do, I’ve been praying for you to continue to have strength and healing and happiness. You guys are amazing in every aspect of life so don’t ever forget that when your feeling down. You will get through this and be looking back at it one day and smile. ❤
Just had the good news off my brother in Australia who had aggressive stage 4 brain tumour after chemo radiotherapy the neurosurgeon has told him no sign of cancer at all he will have to repeat MRI in three months time but so far so good, I will pray for you Jenny❤️
Auguro a tuo fratello una vita lunga, sana e felice
I’m so thankful your MRI results were stable. I’m keeping you, Kyle & y’all’s family in my prayers everyday. ❤️🤗🙏
My gosh the stress you all have to carry. Bless you and your positive attitudes. I agree, stable is a Win! ❤❤
So glad things are stable. Sending love and prayers and strength as always. I love you guys. ❤
I can only imagine how frightening an unscheduled appointment from your radiologist must be. The anxiety is off the chart with cancer. I'm so bloody relieved there's no change. Let's keep that sucker in check!!! I think the hormones and life must be making you feel up and down right now I'm totally unsurprised. Cancer is rough. But you have love on your side fighting your corner. All the best sweet girl. Xxxxxx
In the cancer world, no change is good. God bless you both. Love you guys so much!!
I have been thinking of and praying for you so much this week. Great news about results. My son had cancer at 7 and it was such a confusing and hard time. He has been NED for 2.5 years now and is 10 years old! The journey is still so hard. You are doing such a great job Jenny. Truly an honor to follow along with you guys and to pray for you. Sending all my love from NC
I have suffered from anxiety my entire life and I'm 72. Recently, I had gum surgery for the first time and had palpitations for hours. I've NEVER had palpitations when I had daily panic attacks. It felt like my heart was beating out of my chest. Very scary. I am praying for you Jenny as always. Anxiety sucks! Aloha.
🙏🌹🙏
Your Dentist could have given you anxiety meds, he/she should not have let you suffer so
I'm so sorry you are dealing with it. I have had chronic anxiety palpitations for the last 13 years. Surgery can really trip up the nervous system. I started having palps after a thyroid surgery.
Learning to ground and orient myself (Irene Lyons on UA-cam) saved me. Many of us with chronic anxiety actually have stress stuck in our bodies. Often times from childhood issues that can be subtle or not so subtle.
The surgery sent your already-amped up sympathetic nervous system over the edge. Irene Lyon's content really helped me with my physical anxiety symptoms! She explained it in a way no one else had. I wish you the best.
@@quickpstuts412 Thank you. I will check out the channel. I never had that symptom before. Usually, my panic attacks where either I couldn't breathe or felt like that or this feeling of unreality came over me. This time, I couldn't stop the pounding of my heart. Very scary and I'm still shaky. Aloha.
@@MarilynMayaMendoza Gotcha. Regardless of the symptom, the source is the same.....anxiety. And if it's chronic, it's likely a result of some unresolved trauma in life. That's what I learned.
So the symptom part is less relevant. It's the anxiety that you feel is out of control is the underlying and common issue.
Almost everyone's anxiety manifests differently, but the root is unresolved feelings or trauma. And the palpitations were my worst symptom. So scary!
We miss you so much Jenny ❤
Jenny, so good to see you today. Happy to hear you got good news. You have to be exhausted for so many reasons. Please think about therapy, and help with your anxiety. It is not good for you. If a medication can help, please consider taking it.
In cancer, it's wild what we celebrate as good news. Small victories! Take the time to rest when you can. Your body is doing hard work. 😊
I take gabapentin everyday for 20 years. I have neuropathy from spinal stenosis. It works really well. Pain is nasty. It makes you a completely different person. Don't be afraid to take as prescribed. You need it . Sending you positive thoughts and prayers always
I love you all so much you have no idea I pray constantly you are going to be cancer free and never get cancer again....God wants you with Kyle and the babies....I really love you all so much....I loved the Disney spotlight....Peter Pan could you do that.? I WILL PRAY CONSTANTLY day and night for you all..I know I'm right God has this...Would you pray for me too please ? Im dying of a broken heart 💔...I love you all ....XOXOXO
Sending prayers 🙏
@@jennyapple4704 Thank you so much Jenny getting prayers from you is like getting prayers from a Saint.... I mean what I say I am praying constantly day-and-night for you every time I think about you and your family your babies and your husband you are going to be fine cancer free forever you deserve it God wants you to be healed I know it you're the most beautiful person inside and out and you deserve to be cancer free and to live a long life with your Kyle and your babies And pets anyway I know it's gonna happen it's a gut feeling God's got you in his arms..... Thank you for the prayers like I said from you it's like a Saint everything you do is about being good and kind and right you're one in a million I hope you do the Peter Pan ride I love that You are at Disney world a lot I think that's great it's good for you and your husband and the babies it's a lot of fun OK continuously praying for you sweet dreams.... And I love you all... XOXO
Thanks for the update, sweet Jenny. I think you're doing great, but please take meds when you need them. I've suffered from anxiety my whole life...and it will make you sicker. You and Kyle and your kids are such precious people. ❤🙏😘
Anxiety meds..helped me no end when my darling husband went through this exact same journey..non smoker and stage 4 at diagnosis…I would never have been able to support him without support from the anxiety meds….. You’re doing great Jenny…try not to let your mind make things worse..Anxiety meds…..think of them like your pain meds..they are there to help. Xx
Jenny, no one but you can really know what it’s like to be in your situation, not even Kyle. It’s okay to feel sad and anxious, I understand what you’re going through. I do think it’s good news that the lesions in your brain haven’t progressed much, that means what you’re doing is helping. Love and Light to You, Kyle, your children, and extending family. ❤️🕊
Jenny, it’s alright to have a moody off day. You are in the battle for your life, your raising two beautiful kids, your husband had to return to work, you always have some kind of appointment, I’m amazed that most of the time you are smiling and doing things to make memories with your kids even though you know it’s going to cause pain. I can’t imagine what your day to day life is like, but I do know being moody is ok. I’m afraid I’d be so angry and scared I’d just crawl in a corner and stop functioning. You are a strong brave woman. You are fighting this war with so much more grace than most people have. Maybe I’m unrealistic but I believe in time you will win and you will be cancer free.
Jenny I adore you. You are my hero. Keep battling until you win, and you will win. Hugs from Aurora, Colorado.
So relieved to hear your brain MRI is stable.You are very courageous.I am a cancer survivor and if you let it, the anxiety can overwhelm you and you feel helpless.We know,with cancer, you need to be able to fight it, you have to be strong mentally and emotionally.I remember, in bed at night, building an army of T cells and aiming them at the cancer cells,and blasting them to pieces! That alone made me feel a bit better.So you do need to keep yourself mentally strong, talk talk talk to professionals.
You are a strong person and I know you can do it.I will continue to pray foryou Jenny. Keep strong!!!
Continued prayers!! God is faithful!! He has plans for you!!
So relieved to hear the 'overall' positive news so far. Continuing to send love and prayers your way each day.
HELLO ANGEL God LOVES YOU and your family.
Hi Jenny and Kyle! I’m so glad that you don’t need any radiation therapy, Jenny! I continue to pray in Jesus’s Name. I pray that you continue to remain stable, and that the CT scan goes well and you get great results. You guys are such troopers, prayers for your strength and peace of mind. I pray your cold gets better, Jenny! I love you guys, sending all my love and hugs to you. God bless you all 🤗🙏🏼❤️💖
Jenny I think you and Kyle both are handling this Cancer journey the best you can. I LOVE the news that the oncologist feels that the brain lesions aren’t concerning enough to start radiation. I believe in my heart that your clinical trial medication is working it’s magic for totally healing. I keep you in my prayers nightly and look forward to all your videos as well as Kyles. I wish I lived in Cali so I could come by and give you a hug. Stay beautiful inside and out sweet Jenny
I loved the moment when u two looked into each others eyes for a sec and I SEEN SUCH LOVE FOR EACH OTHER. U both kick cancers butt. Keep it up
They are so lucky to have their true soul mates. You can feel the love they have for each other. So few ever find that kind of live.
What a wonderful husband you have going through all of this.
Jenny, I’m so glad you have a sweet, supportive husband.
I’m sorry for what you’re going through. It’s especially
hard with children. Im happy for all the special trips. All your caring friends who love you so much. You are a
beautiful brave warrior. Trial therapy sounds awful but I understand the will to do anything for
a cure. I was diagnosed
May 2021. Infiltrating Ductal
Carcinoma. I actually demanded a bilateral radical
Mastectomy. Not the surgeons choice. It’s about us. We need to be our
own advocate!
May God bless and comfort
you and your’s 🙏 ❤ 15:01
Stay strong Jennie. I’m praying for you to have a full recovery.. 🙏🏻❤️
I'm so glad you've been given nerve pain meds. That particular pain is nauseating. I took them for quite a while before having surgery. They worked so well.
I can't imagine the stress and anxiety of waiting for the results of the brain scan. The fact that nothing has changed is encouraging. I really hope it brings comfort to you and Kyle. You deserve that.
You give so many of us hope,what a wonderful brave warrior you are.God has blessed you with a amazing family.Kyle makes me laugh so much with his funny faces and his singing.Your son has such a kind heart and Winnie is just the sweetest little girl.
You are doing great, Jenny. You look wonderful. Ask them to give you medicine for anxiety. Then TAKE IT lol.
I do think it would help you, too.❤😘
Jenny, I take anxiety meds that I can take when needed. Ask about that kind. That way I don’t have to take it daily , just when having a bad day or anxiety episode ❤
@@deboraholsen8443 I have so can you delete yours too.
My oncologist gives me lexipro 5 mg it’s enough to not worry and stress …stay strong ..and I understand what your going through..my prayers for you and your family ….take salt baths if you can .. or meditate…I know it’s hard with young children..wish u the best..
You have lost a lost of weight that u gained during the treatment n medications, u r beginning to look like ur old self. Hope u aren't having as much pain as before. Wishing u the best.
Kyle is an amazing man. You are an amazing team. My heart and prayers are with all of you.
Comfort from the Word: “God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of POWER, and of LOVE, and of A SOUND MIND.” May God bless you greatly, Jenny.
I understand why you guys want to stay in the hold pattern to see what the lesions do but I feel like wouldn't it better/easier to zap the little suckers while their so small?
I'm a breast cancer fighter for the last 4 years. It was 1.5 years ago they found a 6mm lesion on my spinal cord at the top of my neck C2 area. They keep doing MRI'S to watch it but I hate knowing it's there and could just grow and spew cells. If it was anywhere else I would insist on it being zapped but my spinal cord is a dangerous place to mess with so I have to hold. I pray for you everyday 🙏 ❤ and I want to see you live out your life to watch your babies grow up. Keep up with what you're doing and always follow your instincts. 😉😘❤
Love and Hugs. We might be strangers, but we’re here with you ♥️
The anxiety can sometimes be the hardest part of cancer! Love the ducky and bunny shirt, my son would want that! Hang in there💖
Thanks for the update Jenny and "good" news! We will continue praying for you....sending our love to you and Kyle!
Love, love, love the poppies. Gorgeous Orange colour.
News was good. Glad no new lesions. I keep meaning to tell you that you are looking more and more like your old self. So beautiful inside as well as outside. 🤩
you guys are incredible in your strength in dealing with this.
This is great news Jenny!!! The brain lesions being stable not growing and not making a fuss is awesome! I pray they continue to stay stable and that you embrace this good news at this moment in time because this is GREAT news!My dads brain lesions have been stable for almost a year now, yay!!! It’s an interesting thing isn’t it to be happy about any kind of cancer but after chemo and surgery and radiation and all the ups and downs one goes through the fact the lesions are laying low and giving us this time with some consecutive stability and a chance to rest the mind is something to embrace and be so grateful for. I hope you allow yourself to accept Gods Grace with theses scans and allow your mind to rest for the time being. Please stay positive as I’m continuing to pray for you and for your family! 💪🏻🙏🏻🫶🏻You Got This!!
You are so brave Jenny, I'm praying for you xx
Jenny I helped my son through brain cancer. Try to remember The Lord is in control. The doctors told my son and daughter-in-law they would never be able to have a baby. The Lord said otherwise. I have gorgeous granddaughter. By the way, he had radiation and very strong chemo. Praying for you.
Happy to hear that! I’m praying for you constantly 🙏🏻💕
Sending hugs and prayers your way! ❤️
Prayers to yall. Kyle is awesome how he helps and is strong right by your side. We pray daily for you. God bless 🙌
I find waiting for results are the worst. So relieved your brain lesions are stable Jenny ♥️sending you love & hugs . Will be praying for you everyday 🙏 I understand how Kyle's feeling about skipping counselling. I'm caring for my dad with vascular parkinsonism. He is progressively getting worse he has swallowing problems, could possibly have a stroke & continuously gets chest infections. If my dad's ill or I'm too overwhelmed with anxiety about him I can't deal with going to simple appointments like dentists etc for myself . But Kyle please note you need to have support yourself . I have a lady sit with my dad so I get 6 hours in the week to go & do something I want to do. 3 hours on a Monday & Thursday. I usually treat myself to cake & coffee meeting up with a friend or do something I enjoy. It really helps to clear your head for an hour or too so you can cope & be strong for your loved one♥️ I hope you can find a little time for yourself Kyle that's totally for you as this is important so you can be there for Jenny you could end up with carers burn out♥️♥️♥️
Thank goodness.!!! So far so good!!! What a battle, but you are doing it!!! Prayers always going your way.
You are so strong Jenny, We are all praying for a full recovery. Praying the treatments is working. Much love to all
So glad you guys got this news and I’m so happy you’re getting on top of your pain. Sending love from Brisbane Australia ❤
Prayers and love sent to you and your sweet family!
Blessings for a good report🙏🙏🙏❤❤
Hugs and prayers always for you all!
Praying for you and your family Jenny! You are such a inspiration.
Sending big hugs Jen 🥰🥰🥰🥰🙏🙏🙏
Love you Jenny. Keep your chin up girl, you’ve got this❤️
Sending you both love, strength and a full recovery
Sending you hugs and good thoughts your way Jenny !!!💜💜
I had nerve pain for so many years, nerve pain is horrible. I tried so many over the years and finally found one that worked. I now have minimal nerve pain thank god, and of most of the nerve pain meds. Have a great week :)
We're you suffering and being treated for Stage 4 Cancer too!
@@oneseeker2 No I had CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome) in my wrist and leg after surgery.
Is there a hint as to what is working for you,? Options are nice to know about
@@erniefeline2215 After trying all the meds like gabapentin etc, what worked for me was methadone, which I then became addicted too, so have weaned of that, and now after a lot of physiotherapy and therapy, I am only on Panadol and tramadol. I would not recommend methadone and I believe now it is now not used for nerve pain, thank god. My nerve pain is a lot less now and I need to pace myself to stop it from flaring up, but all in all things are going ok now.
I have terrible nerve damage from years of carpal tunnel surgery and not getting diagnosed with RA for 5 years I suffered n still do , im on high doses of prednisone which caused shingles then this terrible nerve pain for 2 years now , still on prednisone as I write this, just git home from 3 hr er visit to up my dose of prednisone as im burning up on inside and arms. hands n wrists the worst , just asking what works best for your nerve pain? I tried gabapentin neurontin years ago but think I may try again...but I realize this isn't about me on here so I'm sorry... it's about Jenny & her care and I try to send uplifting messages & things that may help her so ok thx for your help
Prayers for your peace Jenny, and that as your many appointments can be overwhelming, you have strength. Hugs!💕
Praying for you Jenny!!!
You continue to be in my thoughts and prayers, Jenny. 💜🙏🏽☘️

When you said you went to Tom Sawyer Island at Disney, I got excited, then realized that y'all live in California. My daughter works for Disney here if Florida and one of her jobs is driving the rafts that take you to the Island. I'm so glad y'all enjoyed your day at Disney! That's always a spirit lifter, especially with little ones! Stay positive! Sending love and prayers! Take care of each other!
Great news! It's so nice to see you smiling!
Well done guys ❤️
