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.
RIP our beautiful angel ❣️ we will never forget you. How you fought for so long. You won no more Cancer. Kyle and the kids are going through it 😭😔😔 I 🙏🙏🙏🙏 all the time.
I am watching previous videos I haven’t seen to help me deal with the news of Jenny’s passing. It gives me comfort knowing Jenny never has to do any of these tough tests anymore. She is at peace and out of pain now and resting easy in Heaven. I hope she is cuddling baby Leo now. ❤️🙏🏼
I watch all the old videos I miss her so much her voice was so calming to me I was just told I have to go see a cancer Dr and watching her videos bring me peace love you guys
I found you all very recently, so I thought I'd touch base again! As a retired oncology nurse, I'm so very PROUD of you, Jenny! Wooooo! Hoooooo! You are a PET Scan Rockstar! Word of the day? Cumulative! ("increasing or increased in quantity, degree, or force by successive additions.")! Just continue to break up any scary task into tiny, more tolerable parts; whatever it takes, right?! Have a wonderful day with your beautiful family (it's already looking up; there's no PET Scan!)!! Love, and light, Jenny, Sherrey🎉🎈💐🎈🎉
You did so good,I’m glad you had the Ativan to help and Kyle is simply amazing support cuz look how he loves you, so sweet.And you are so sweet to Kyle. Pain is hard, cancer is hard.I truly admire your sheer grit and sweetness in hard hard times.💕
You are so brave! I have just found your channel and circumstances. I know your children will be so grateful and proud of what you are doing. God bless you!
Good job getting through it. Those scans are tough to get through. Prayers and positive thoughts always!❤
It's not boring. We are going through this with you. Those of us that have battled cancer know where you're coming from. 🙏🙏🙏
Continued prayers for a clear pet scan! Glad you were able to complete it!
I cannot imagine how you are feeling going through all of this. Thank you for sharing your story with us.
Hi Jenny, congrats you brave girl, you got through this, I'm sooo proud of you, send you all my prayers and a big hug❤
So proud of you Jenny. Always praying for you guys ❤
You’re a trooper 👊🏼 I knew you would do it 😅 love and hugs ❤ 🇲🇹 🥰😘
You will do all necessary treatment’s to stay alive for your family. 🙏♥️♥️🙏
O my goodness Kyle, your so funny, and I Love your 2023eeeee😂, but Jenny you'll do great my prayers are here for you, Love you both❤️🙏
Good job,Jenny❤💪🏼Pray with you for good results ❤greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
16:09 The cute moment Jenny blushed in embarrassment when Kyle missed an opportunity to kiss her when she said her lips were dry 😂🥹🥹🥹
I do love the runway shows....I think Kyle is superb model....lol from AUstralia
You are a sweetheart, and I wish you all the best. 💕🌷
Always love your Fashion show so cool ❤ 😊
Since you do the guided meditation a lot, can you do it in your mind when you do these scans? I used to listen to a CD in my car that was music for relaxation (Mariner by Tony O'Connor)& it got to where I could listen to it in my mind when I was in bed to relax to go to sleep at nights.
Watching all the old videos , just to see Jenny 😢 I've never been so moved by one person I've never met and feeling the loss of such a beautiful soul ❤
Same 💔
Same auçh a sparkling beautiful soul 💖💖💖💖
Such a beautiful, precious, and caring sweetheart she is. I’m proud of you Jenny you didn’t loose your battle to this awful disease you beat it. Now rest in peace in beautiful paradise.
Same thought here. I too am watching older videos. I miss her even though I never got to meet her in person. 😢
I hate watching these older ones. I'm rooting for her even though I know shes gone now. Absolutely Heartbreaking.
😢same
Ask to be sedated! Nothing wrong with that! You go through a lot as it is, my friend! Prayers n love , Nancy from Tampa
YES! I always ask to sleep, not sedation. I'm so severely claustrophobic, sedation doesn't work. It's wonderful, because you're laying there ready to go, and the next thing you know, you're done. Not a thing wrong with asking for and getting what you want and need. The medical staff has absolutely no problem with this. In fact, it makes their job easier because you're not squirming around.👍
From her past videos I don't think she likes being put to sleep. I think she gets severe anxiety being put to sleep. Being that the ativan helped for the scan maybe xanax would do the job for brain radiation.
I think she said and read that they don’t dispense medication, so they can’t sedate her.
Agreed. Also, my name is Nancy too! I’m from Arizona though.
The instructions said they don’t dispense meds. She brought her own Ativan.
You the reason I’m going into healthcare.
Watching these old videos I am grateful for a number of things-that Jenny is no longer suffering, that those of us who didn't know her in person got to know her wonderful self through these videos and that her family has all of these to remember her by.
Jenny you are now cancer free, pain free,rest sweet Jenny!! You are free!!!! RIP you fought a great fight!! Now rest good sweet Lady!!!
Poor sweet girl 🥲You are free now from all pain rest In peace sweet angel 😇
How unfair.. :(
I am so proud of you! As a retired ICU nurse please understand we love to do anything that will help you in any way we can. Never be afraid of asking for help.
Love you’ ❤❤❤❤❤🎉 33:51
I know that to be totally a true statement! Nurses are the best!💕
Aw Jenny worry pot, this is from sue, worry pot! I know exactly how you feel , I don’t have cancer but a few life threatening illnesses, I worry/ anxiety is … cannot think of anything to say, who can say to someone, like my hubby, who NEVER worries about a thing! ( lucky him) he’s great though! I would like to send love and prayers for you! I’m proud you got thro the pet scan . I have a lot of lung problems ( no smoking) and lying flat deffo make it worse. Bless you gorgeous! Love sue in 🇬🇧
Retired Emergency room nurse ... "DITTO" ...I loved helping my patients in any way I could. If it was something as simple as a warm blanket it was great to know I could help them feel that one bit of comfort.....🫂
You the nurses are just gems… we love you ❤
Jenny, you and Kyle are undoubtedly helping many other people going through these treatments. Your detailed descriptions of what the treatment is like and also your feelings is really excellent! And watching you and Kyle supporting and loving each other is very heart-warming.
❤from Norway love you ❤
You are all amazing. Sending much love from Devon, England. You both inspire us and you have such beautiful children. Love and prayers Jenny, Kyle, Ellis, Winnie and pups ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️💐
Kyle is that support that everyone needs. Jenny and he are so beautifully matched, a gift from God.
I had major panic attacks during all my procedures especially the PET scan & MRI. Do anything to help us a blessing and never be afraid to ask for help. Your doing GREAT!❤️👍🏻
This gave me anxiety just watching jenny go through this. 😢 I applaud you Jenny Apple ! You are AMAZING ! You have helped SO many people in your short life... I weep and grieve the loss of you 😢You will NEVER be forgotten ❤ love to you and your family from England ❤
😮😮😮😅😅😮
Having watched all your videos, I know how hard this scan was for you. Just remember that you are not alone. We are with you every step along the way
I can’t lay flat either without pain I totally get it! I have a scan coming and I’m like you I work myself up. I have PKD and PLD, bone tumors, and now lymphoma. I am a single mom. My liver is huge it’s full of cysts so when I lay flat it’s hard to breathe and scares me. I take Ativan too it really helps. Hang in there you are so brave! Sending hugs from Virginia
I hope that you are doing ok. Your comment caught my attention. I'm also from Virginia.
You will always be accepted and loved by your UA-cam family. Well done Jenny 💗
That anti-anxiety med, and the others, is made for exactly what you’re going through. I’m so happy that you take them now when you need them!! Yay!! Go Jenny! ❤
You did wonderful getting through that, Jenny. I can get through scans but my sister-in-law is very claustrophobic and cannot tolerate them. So don't feel bad or foolish because many people share your terror of enclosed machines. It IS very intimidating. Sending you a virtual big hug.
You are so brave by sharing your life with strangers. You are touching so many people with your unflinching honesty. Thank you!!💙
I feel grateful and honored to get a glimpse into your journey. Your courage and grace is apparent. and your honesty about the bits where even courage and grace aren't quite enough is deeply touching and moving. Your husband is a darling thing and i'm so glad you have each other. I hope that putting yourselves out here in the public eye will allow you to receive and feel the support and care from even us strangers who are touched by you. And i hope you are always ready to jettison the other kinds of attention you don't need. focus on your own story, and give yourself space to feel ALL your feelings, it's still a wonder, the gift continues....
These videos will bring joy to the kids when they are older.
Jenny always looked even prettier (if that's possible!) in dresses. She was so beautiful inside and out.
You're no hot mess express, you are so brave, Jenny! So happy for you that it went so well! Love and prayers always!💖
I found your reading of the PETScan very interesting! 😊 My Dad never wanted us to worry about him during his treatment of lung cancer so we weren't knowledgeable on such tests. Thank you sweetheart 💞 You're a Gem! Praying for you ALWAYS, as well as the family ❤
Very proud beautiful you!!
Hell yes!!! YOU DID IT!!! Just started watching your channel! You are strong and brave!!! Gods got you!!! Take your meds! That’s why they were made! To help us get through our toughest times!!You will get through this and NEVER stop fighting and being proud of you, your team, your husband, your children and family and friends!!! ❤🙏🙌. Praying for you!!! 💕💕💕
I think those tears are the huge relief that the scan went better than you expected. It's ok to have that release of emotion. You did great! I pray for good results.
She was such a beautiful mother. I can’t imagine what the babies are going through right now. ❤️🩹
Just wanted to let you know that I'm praying for good scan results! You are amazing Jenny! ❤
Rewatching Jennys videos she suffered so much. She 8s not in pain now.
Kyle deserves Best Husband and Dad trophies….hope he has support people just focused on him….he is the glue to getting everyone through this and is a rock,star
The fashion shows are so so good. You have my Heart….all of you.
Jenny, you have no idea how many people you are helping ❤
Jenny, you must absolutely ask for and get what you want and need. Actually, the medical staff is 100 percent ok with you sleeping during tests, because it makes their job easier when we're not nervous and squirming. As a severely claustrophobic woman, I always ask to sleep. One minute I'm laying there waiting to go in, the next, I'm done! 🤗
That’s the way todo it!! Good for you!!❤❤❤❤
I ask to sleep always. I cannot tolerate anything close, even tight rings, tight clothing is horrid, it's so hard doin many medical tests if the Dr won't listen. I hope Jenny does well
I had an MRI where I had to talk myself into NOT aborting the mission- so I truly get your anxiety. So great that you were able to go through with it. Your hubby is so wonderfully supportive- so nice to see!😊
@@jillr759 when you have claustrophobia it does not need to be an enclised mri to have a panic attack. All you need is the feeling/ knowledge that you can't get up and leave, I get her fear
Winnie soooo funny sitting on the storage box, and WHAT did you have on your feet poppet ?!! xxxx
You are the loveliest, sweetest girl.
Please ask Momma to read this to you so you know how much we love our little Winnie - a mini -momma !
Our strong and clever Ellis is always quietly in the background, watching out for clues for what Momma needs - a real superpower that is !
Stay quiet for a couple of days sweet Jen .

Best comment EVER!!
I hope that Jenny sees it!!!
@Saudade73
Thank you.
I just want the kids to know that Mummy has lots of friends rooting for her and that they are our friends too.
They are such lovely resilient and bright children and are dealing with everything so well with the gentle support of Jen Kyle and all the family.
Take Care .
Janice 👵 🇬🇧 xxx
Kyle, how much do we love him❤ just to watch him doing this runway, style show because it made Jenny cheer up a little bit before her scan or treatment. He is being so goofy and just absolutely adorable. Miss you Jenny❤️🙏
So PROUD of you…never doubted that you would! Now praying for a good report🙏💗🙏
You are so amazing…I hope you can accept how much you are loved and how very much you give of yourself for others in your situation.Blessings!
She is the most amazing lady l have seen it is so sad want happened to her life is so so cruel she lived a very healthy life god bless you and your beautiful family
Blair Witch project... Lol. Jenny you're so funny!
All the best to you. I hope your scans results show improvement.
Trust and place your anxiety on Christ Jesus, he's got your back. 🙏
Jenny, my fiancé had a PET scan done & he doesn’t have the issues you have with anxiety or claustrophobia. He said it wasn’t bad but felt warm after the contrast but he said it wasn’t bad. With my anxiety & claustrophobia like for an MRI I ask for a washcloth over my eyes so I can’t see & think about positive things while listening to music. I luv the support from your husband. U can do this Jenny👍🏻
You did great. As I’m sure you know, bravery isn’t not being afraid, bravery is being afraid and doing it anyway. You should be very proud. Not everyone could do it, almost no one can do it with the strength and grace that you do it with.
Well stated!❤❤❤❤
I know you're scared & it's hard & I'm sure you're anxious. Take all your meds to cut the anxiety & even though I dread this for you, i know you'll be great & the faster you get done the faster it'll be over. You're going to be great & the results will be good & they'll lead you to whatever your next move is. For what it's worth you've got soooooo many people praying, wishing & hoping you'll have an easy go of this & maybe tonight you'll take meds to sleep & all will just be a thing of the past. Much love & a thousand hugs & good luck but you won't need it. If you can't do a day at a time, do an hour or even a moment at a time XoxoxoxoxoX You got this & a great hubby who'll be by your side before & after & forever ❤
Jenny always took such good care of herself. I love and miss her so much.
Good job!!! You are tough and brave! ... When you're sick or in pain or old like me 😄, all manner of little pillows and headrests and leg propper-uppers and such are lifesavers! I have a bunch bcs of a bad back and remember my grandmother had tons. And she wasn't shy about making me get her some more. But I loved her and was happy to try to make her more comfy.
Anxiety is awful, not really something you can explain to anyone 😢 you are doing Amazing Jenny, sending love and Massive Hugs ❤ 34:28
You are a strong and amazing woman. You can totally do this! 💓
You are so beautiful and blessed. You can do it, kick that Cancer in the ----!
Reading the instructions was a great idea. Provides distraction to the anxiety and it helps reassure that you did scan prep well. To then see you practice meditation, while you probably wanted to scream and run was a masterclass. Respect to your CoH team and courage Jenny ❤
Bless you Jenny! We are never alone when we belong to Christ. 🥰
These scans are so stressful! Jenny, I remember going through these scans with my wife, it sucks so much! You’re a trooper, not easy!😊🇨🇦🙏❤️
Kyle could have a side hustle where he accompanies patients to their Pet Scans. LOL He is always so cheerful and positive and it just lifts my spirits watching him being so encouraging and funny before Jenny has to go in. I couldn't help but to think that I hope I never have to go for a Pet Scan, but if I did, I would want Kyle to go with me to help alleviate my fears!
My husband has them after treatment for stage 1 lung cancer and has no issues with them at all...everyone's different..
Preach it sister!!
I'm so proud of you jenny getting through your pep scan you are awesome and Kyle for being there for you he so amazing x❤
I always think about this guy's resilience. I'm in awe of his strength as he's also going through this.
@@vickieyoung7122 I've had one, after I was diagnosed with borderline Stage 4 breast cancer in 2009. The worst part for me was having to drink a ton of water in the room beforehand. Blech. I don't like water.
Jenny, I am so so proud of you for competing the PET scan 🌸 💐 💐 you was amazing!! Please don’t feel silly for being anxious and scared for the scans because people that have had them completely understand, they’re awful and you have the added pain and trouble breathing while laying flat!! I’m so pleased you took the medication and even advised others to take it if needed I think I will ask for medication when I need my next MRI.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Well done Jenny!!! Sending love from the UK 🇬🇧
❤
My mom would turn on the stereo loudly to her favorite station - KKIQ Livermore/Pleasanton - to wake us up. Lol It was the best way to wake up!
I cranked up Billie Jean so loud to wake mine
I'm super proud of you, conquering your fears and telling the Technicians what you needed to keep you more comfortable. You rocked it Jenny! Thank you for taking us with you and for helping us understand what a PET Scan intels. We'll keep you all in our prayers, believing for great test results.
Again great job. ❤
Mama Jenny you don’t have to apologise just rest and have any yummy food that your heart ❤️ said so
Fight keep fighting
Prayers on your way
Loved loved you guys

Jenny, you did it!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m so proud of you, and you are an inspiration to so many people, with your bravery through such difficult days for you. You have an amazing husband to help you through this, and how blessed you are. I pray your pain can be eased and your cancer will just decide to leave you alone. Keep your chin up. We all love you, even though we don’t know you, but feel like we do.
Jenny you’re a star ! But you must ask for sedation if you need it I’m a nurse we will always do what is best for YOU!
You do whatever you need to do to get thru your tests. No need to apologize. Your followers care about you, and want you to be as comfortable as possible. You and your family are in my prayers.

Kyle's "2023" sounds like Rob Schneider saying "makin' copieeeees" on Saturday Night Live! I have that face mask and it's wonderful and natural.
I found this interesting, not boring! I’m praying for good results. ❤️🙏🏼❤️
Thats what i cant stand is seeing the kids. I count my blessings and pray to take their cancer from them and add it to mine Its not fair for these children..I pray for them constantly. Theyre the bravest little warrior's ever and their families.
