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.
I’ve been binge watching Jenny Apple Vlogs ever since Kyle posted his video that Jenny passed. I just can’t seem to let her go. She was such a ray of light.
Me too girl . Me too
Me too. Still watch her on UA-cam. Can't seem to let her go.
Same here
I am the same, Jenny truly was a amazing angel ❤
Same… odd how someone we’ve never met in person on u tube has touched so many of our hearts so deeply.
I think many of us are so touched because we can relate?
I’ve also never met someone like Kyle.
He is so compassionate, validating, empathic, supportive .. I could go on.
BECAUSE you lived a healthy life you are able to fight cancer now. If cancer was coming regardless, it wasn't about "avoiding it": your previous life was about getting you ready for the biggest battle of your life. You, with your good choices, gave yourself and your family a chance. It was very much worth it, you and your lifestyle are the reasons you are able to have this Christmas, that you still get to hold your babies and enjoy Kyle. You gave yourself a chance to fight a long and a very hard battle. You did great, you are doing great. Be so so so very proud of yourself! You are a warrior, and warriors are allowed to get tired and are allowed to cry, as long as they keep showing up and keep fighting. YOU ARE DOING GREAT
Aww, what a nice way to look at it. Thank you for sharing this perspective, and for the encouragement. 💕
@@jennyapple4704 is there any way you can provide the name of this non-narcotic pain medication? I have gastric cancer and am battling beside you. Blessings…
Hi beautiful Jenny, it's ok to cry, don't apologise. You are so beautiful, brave and super strong. I can't even look at old photos of the old me yet. It is really tough, continue to embrace and enjoy the love and support of your beautiful family. We love you and support you too, so much. Sending you much love and healing prayers always ❤️ 🙏 xxx ❤️
Well said!
This is absolutely amazing ❤
It wasnt fair beautiful jenny, it wasn't but the fight you put up was phenomenal and the legacy you have left behind is phenomenal. From all the little corners of the world you have touched thousands of hearts ❤
I miss you, I find peace knowing you are back to your old self again in heaven.. no more sickness, no more sadness, no more pain 🙏🏼
I just started watching a couple months before Jenny had passed away. I'm going back and watching all her videos with Kyle and the kids. What a beautiful soul gone to soon. Cancer Sucks
RIP Beautiful Jenny your an Angel 💐
🌼4:00Smiling so big with tears in my eyes Kyle & his beautiful Jenny.🌼A never-ending love...to be continued in heaven.
🌼Jenny's beauty is a glowing beauty her heart was always just overflowing with so much love that it made her glow.🌼
I have also been going back and watching videos. I miss her 😢 What a special human ❤
Unfortunately, living a healthy lifestyle doesn’t prevent you from getting cancer, just not how it works. If that was the case, no one would get cancer. If you think about it, majority of the people that get cancer have/had been healthy their entire lives. People that I know that have had cancer all lived a super healthy lifestyle, but cancer still found them. It’s sad that anyone of us could get cancer, it’s such a brutal disease.
Cancer does not discriminate…it’s definitely not fair…this is not you feeling sorry for yourself…it’s your reality and you are absolutely allowed to feel this way 💜

I am back here watching Jenny’s journey from the start again. I feel like I personally knew her. Her bravery and strength through all the pain, sickness and treatments was much to be admired. I pray Kyle, the kids, and her family are blessed moving forward in this life without her.🤍🌹🤍
I have to say, it's really intense having watched you for hundreds of hours while not even knowing you in person and now watching you knowing you are in heaven watching us, is a bit of an out of body experience. 💔💔💔
She literally looks like a butterfly in that beautiful dress. ❤
I thought so too- the sleeves look like fluttering wings. ❤
I remember the day I was diagnosed with breast cancer.
I looked out the window that night and thought I liked my life just the way it was.
Hello 👋how are you doing?
Going back in time to watch Jenny’s fight with cancer and her courage to power through all those dark days is simply amazing. Remember the courage among all of you and I’m sure Jenny sees that working 🦋🦋🦋🦋
I felt happy when you felt happy, and sad when you felt sad. It's horribly unfair, and you did everything right. Seeing old footage right before a diagnosis would break anyone down. Never apologise for who you are, who you feel like you aren't, or for any emotions you have. We love you, Jenny. 🍏
She is still just as beautiful both inside and out ❤️
My thoughts exactly…
@@lisamoroney3036 my thoughts as well ❤️
I'm like one of many watching these videos back. Honestly I love seeing the connection between Kyle & Jenny. The way she looks at Kyle and the sweet comments between you both, the expressions and the laughter. When she is scared you can see just one flash of his smile and in that moment Jenny feels safe. I'm so sad she's gone but there are such warm moments in the videos ❤
I've watched almost all of the videos and I went from hope to sadness to anger ....it's just not fair such a young energetic loving person was taken away from her family and friends.
I am a 2 time Cancer Survivor and you will be too. It's ok to be sad, but remember all these side effects are temporary. As soon as your Cancer Free, you will have all the time in the world to work on getting yourself back to how you want to be. I pray for you daily ❤
I’m a 2 time cancer survivor too. Yay me! My heart goes out to Jenny & anyone challenged with having their world flipped upside down, due to this fucking menace. Cancer “sucks” is a gross understatement.
Then compound it with Societal PAIN SHAMING leaving MANY Cancer patients to SUFFER NEEDLESSLY & be stigmatized by the IGNORANT- sometimes well meaning friends & family -who judge us OR quote bullshit positivity tips from Oprah. I learned the hard way.
Anti-depressants like Effexor can be harder to come off of than a 1 to 2 mg dose of Dilauded in my experience & for others who shared their experiences w/me.
Clinic Dr & Primary Care Dr- will titrate your dose down when it’s time.
My personal experience with pain of 2 Breast Cancers, like -good time Radiation Burns- my elderly Mum too PLUS my late husband, who who tried in vain to man up & RAW DAWG his metastasizing AGONY at first- eventually admitted- he wished he tried better pain management sooner.
It helps us to do activities we need/want to do, that make us feel good mentally, including SLEEP.
I’m SO sorry you’re going thru this. It isn’t fucking fair. You’re 100% right.
One last note, if you’re still reading my rambling - The BEST CANCER ADVICE I was ever given was to STAY TF OFF Google, & TRUST IN whoever you’ve chosen as your TEAM. IF communicating on line with others, like in these replies, simply look for multiple consistencies in experiential advice offered -that might work for YOU & your Onk.
I truly wish, as fellow human beings, watching your vlog & empathizing, we could make everything in your world, right side up again.
I've decided to let Jenny's videos STAY in my feed every day cos it reminds me that Life is very precious and extremely short with curveballs of grief on many bends in the road of Life itself. Every time I log into UA-cam I see a different video from Jenny and it's just so sweet and beautiful. Miss you so much Jenny, Happy Wednesday morning you beautiful Angel, watching over us all and reminding us to Fight the Good Fight. Until we Meet again, Peace, Love and Light Jenny 🕯️❤🙏 22/11/23
Even in the midst of darkness, you are full of grace. A special one you are. And so is Kyle. ♥️
♥️
Any one who works in oncology is very special!
Weigh that carefully 🤯
Jenny fought like a warrior and we can all take away her bravery and her smile even at the end.
Thank you for the memories you share
Bless you all, that pre cancer video clip was beautiful.
She was such such a beautiful person. Inside and out.
Don’t ever apologise for being sad and having a cry, you can’t be strong all of the time Jenny, sending my love and prayers from England xx
Truly a beautiful soul ❤ Rest Easy sweetheart ❤❤ The world misses you Xoxo
Jennys memorial service today - quite an overview she gave in this video , can understand her sadness looking back to herself being vibrant
I wish I would’ve found you a lot sooner. So I’m watching as many of your videos as I possibly can. And commenting as if this were in real time. Love you 🌸🌺🌹🌷💐
Love your dress! You look so pretty in it
He made updates nov5th at 5pm u beat cancer my dear like u said u beat it because it's dead . Rip beautiful lady
Miss you so much, I’m watching all your posts again, you’re such a beautiful soul rest peacefully beautiful Jenny 💜🙏🏻🙏🏻💜
Jenny, I was a younger cancer patient twice and am doing well. I honestly would be happy one moment and crying the next. It is okay and please don’t apologize. It is so unfair and truthfully very scary. Here I am though, 10 years later! Please know that you have a world of people praying and care about you. Hugs!

Jenny is going to be healed Praise Jesus❤
Bad things happen to good people, unfortunately. You are such a good girl and a good mom and a good wife. You should just be proud of yourself for the strength you continue to carry. You are loved by many.💕
Amen... and Amen... I had to go to the Pain Center this week.... and you gave me the courage to put my foot down on something that I just feel so strong about. and you encouraged me to stick up for myself.... you just don't know how many people you encourage on here.... and thank you so very much! You didn't cry alone because I cried with you for you.
She is one amazing person she is one of the strongest women I have ever seen I know she is with the Lord now no more pain how she fought for her kids is truly expiring and to have a husband like that is incredible you don't see alot of love like that anymore it's rare it's amazing how much he loved her they was a great team and will be again one-day
It's Heartbreaking, after watching Jenny n Kyle...for the last couple of years, seeing our beautiful Jenny...😢😢😢🎉🎉🎉
My mother got cancer and passed away, my cousin got cancer and passed away, now I have been treated for cancer. I don't think any of us could have prevented our cancer. I am living one day at a time and trying to enjoy my day each day. I don't blame myself for any hobby or food I may have eaten. I really admire you so very much. One day at a time. You are the best mom ever.
Me too. My mom died of cancer when I was 11. Now I’m in bed with cancer. One day at a time. ❤️🙏🏼
@@aquamarineblue8690 I will keep you in my prayers. God knows your name even when I say Aquamarine Blue.
Keep your eyes upon Jesus. You are so beautiful in every way. Many prayers for you and your family.
I’m not a cancer patient but I have a genetic issues. Several of my family members on my moms side have had misscarage including me. It’s very paralyzing and devistating
Jenny is so beautiful, so smart, so kind, so articulate ,so amazing. I missed seeing her smile , Kyle smiling , the kids bouncing around . Life is not fair ,Jenny, is not fair at all, not for a second . I cant and i wont talk about her to the past . She is here , this is how I feel . And one more comment : cancer suck ! I genuinely love you , guys .
You are the sweetest person Jenny. You are a wonderful Mom and a loving wife. Yes you did all the right things and it is NOT fair and it’s good to vent and cry with us. I’m so glad you have that outlet. We are here for you. We are praying for you and loving you. The pure love between you and Kyle is so beautiful. You are so brave and gracious Jenny. Please don’t apologize for crying. I would hope I would have half the poise, grace and positivity that you have were it me in your shoes. You’re doing an EXCELLENT job! Hugs to you. ❤
Wonderful words Nina. When I watch the videos I experience all the emotions so can only imagine what Jenny is feeling.
Jenny, you are beautiful, courageous, funny and loving. When difficult challenges are put in our lives we all ask Why me?and there are no answers that make sense but it's good to cry and release the tension.
You and Kyle are so strong with beautiful children and wonderful supportive family.
Wishing all the very best for you Jenny. You deserve it.
With lots of love and positive thoughts.❤️☃️🎄
Wonderful words & I agree...xx

God bless you and stay strong
Wow
I just watched this vid today, after her passing. I wish I could tell her that she looked more beautiful than ever after her diagnosis, so lovely inside and out
Cannot stop watching this amazing lovely , kind amazing person. Had not watched right from the beginning of Jenny’s journey but had to watch now. Love goes out to Kyle and all family and friends and anyone going through this at the moment. I am a cancer survivor and really realise how lucky I am. Have two friends going through what Jenny went through and this is helping me to help them. She reached a lot of people and me from the U.K .
30:10 heartbreaking we lost her not even a year after this. The videos with her kids when she was healthy brought me to tears. I will never forget her ❤
I still can’t believe she is gone. Our sweet Jenny. Kyle I do wish you well during this difficult time.
God Love you Jenny, and family, including doggies. 🙏❤💥💫🌱🌎
Going to pray for you! I’m a cancer survivor and my heart goes out to you. Definitely agree with those that call you amazing and a great mom. Yes, you cry if you want too. It’s called humanity and God understands. God bless you sweet soul. ❤
Hi how are you doing?
Oh Jenny, I am rewatching your videos. You and Kyle was so Amazing. ♥♥♥♥#CaribbeanVibes
Jenny I picked some leaves for you this fall ❤ ❤❤❤❤
Rest in peace beautiful Jenny!
Much love, hugs and light from Kenya, Eastvof Africa. Its ok to cry, complain, be brave, fight, fail, win, conquer and be free. Its ok. You are winning Jen.
Oh sweet Jenny. I can totally relate about missing your old physically active self. I too ate healthy and the treatments for my brain cancer really took a toll on my body. I miss moving the way I use to. I wish cancer treatments only targeted the cancer itself and not the rest of the body. I pray for you and your family daily. May we both find peace in His love for us.
Like others, I’m watching old videos and just can’t get over how lovely she was. Always positive and kind. My heart breaks for her family.❤
We’ve been sold the idea that we can lifestyle ourselves out of illness. I’ve been bedridden for over 10 years from a post-viral illness. When I got sick I was doing everything “right.” Eating healthy. Running 3-4 miles 4x/wk. I was a practicing attorney. I’ve lost everything and there is no rhyme or reason to it. Trying to make sense of it will drive you mad.
As someone that suffers from medical anxiety myself…. Im extremely proud of you for conquering you fear and jumping in at the pain management appointment! Very proud!! ❤️💕🙏🏼
Remember, medication is one of your “battle tools” that you have in your toolbox, to help you in your battle against this disease!! It’s doesn’t mean you’re weak. It doesn’t mean you’re getting worse. It means that you’re using a tool supplied by your team, to assist you in your day to day comfort!! 💕❤️🙏🏼
Im telling you this because this is what my team (for my autoimmune disease) has told me…. My pain meds are my battle tools 💕❤️🙏🏼
What has helped me in the last 6 months or so…… is to not wait until the pain gets super bad….. for me, when I’m at a level 4.5-5…. I take a pill…. Staying on top of the pain helps my body to heal (said directly from my rheumatologist) a body that’s in pain, sends out stress signals and it can actually prevent proper healing and cause anxiety (or make anxiety worse)….. so if you can, try to stay on top of your pain, and keep it at a comfortable level.
I suffered for a very long time before asking for help. My daddy was an alcoholic/prescription drug addict due to a very severe foot injury when he was in his 30’s ….. so pills scare me also….. so I understand your fear 100% Jenny… I suffered needlessly because I was so scared of pills…
So staying on top of the pain has helped improve my quality of life and I’m much more active….❤️💕🙏🏼
Hoping these tips can help you like they helped me.
Sending Love from Oregon 🌲🌲❤️💕🙏🏼 ~Trina~
Your tips will help not only Jenny but I'm sure a lot of other people here, myself included. Thank you for your support to Jenny and your very thorough and useful comment
What great advice!💗
I can 100% attest to what you just said so eloquently. I am also an Autoimmune patient, amongst a host of other diagnoses that have come along from my Autoimmune Disease. My Rheumatologist also highly encouraged me to seek Pain Management. The day I was sitting in his office and we were discussing my onset of severe anxiety and panic attacks, especially in regards to constant medical procedures. On top of that he looked at me and he said the due to my level of my chronic inflammation (SED and CRP) that my body felt like I had the worst flu 24/7 and I started to cry because this man understood. Now the key became finding a Pain Management doctor that was aware of Autoimmune Disease and what it could do. I told him that I had learned that I don't need to suffer. I shouldn't be sitting on the side of the bed, rocking back and forth and crying from pain. They agreed. You do what you have to do so you can be comfortable and less anxious.
Great advice and so very true. Take the pain meds to make this battle easier. A body and mind in distress doesn’t heal as quickly. Nothing to be ashamed of….take all the help you need to get thru it as comfortably as possible. ❤
The media has made people afraid of taking pain meds. What they don’t tell you is that chronic pain hurts your brain. It changes your brain, and it’s not good. You’re right about not staying on top of the pain. If you allow it to go on too long, it’s hard to get it back down to a comfortable level. It’s not pain patients that are abusing opiates, it street drug takers that give us all a bad name. I’m tired of being labeled as an addict or weak because I have chronic intractable pain. It’s not easy to be in a lot of pain daily, and to have people tell you things like, “I wouldn’t take that stuff, it’s addictive” or “I have a high tolerance for pain,” when they aren’t even in pain and have no idea what it’s like to walk in my shoes. Those same people indulge in alcohol and caffeine daily. Last time I checked, those are drugs and they are addictive!
I understand you feeling loss. On the other hand you are so engaging now. Your personality shines really bright somehow.
I do 🙏 for healing. 💜
Hey there,
Please keep in mind that the body heals more efficiently when it is not also battling pain.
Forgot to say that I LOVE Liquid Amber leaves They are so beautiful.
I’m sorry you were feeling sad. It’s not fair…. Cancer sucks! You can feel sorry for yourself. Your going through so much. Give yourself Grace ❤ You and the kids could make some easy peasy ornaments for their bedroom decor using little pompoms from dollar store for balls and a little pipe cleaner garland and make a star out of popsicle sticks or something ❤ sending love and positive energy ❤ and saying prayers for your complete recovery 💜🤗💜
Thank you! And I love those ornament ideas 🥰
Hi Lori I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement.

Thank you for making this video. It’s a gift to those of us not battling cancer , to be grateful. You have such Grace . Sending ❤from 🇨🇦
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
Sweet jenny ❤. I understand how you feel. In 2019 I had a life-changing event and went from being the old me who was active and social to a disabled and reclusive me. My life will also never be the same. I’ve gone through anger, grief, sadness and I think I’ve come out the other side where I see the blessings in my situation. Not only have I been born again as a Christian during this last few years, but I’ve come to understand that true personal and spiritual growth comes through suffering. That sounds sad, but it’s the truth. I’m glad that I’ll never go back to being the person that I was before I’m content with who I am now. I hope you’ll find that same piece on your cancer journey. May God bless you and you’ll continue to be in my prayers. ❤️🙏🏻❤️
Hi Debra.. Your situation sounds like mine except it started in 2009. I still grieve my old life but you would think I'd be a pro at this. Have you ever heard of Joni Eareckson Tada? She has been in a wheelchair for 50 years and cancer survivor too.. She has been such an inspiration to me when I thought I couldn't go on.
I can so identify with how Jenny and you feel, I was active, loved walking, enjoyed life, then suddenly, through a collapsed disc which damaged my spinal cord, I became disabled. now I can only walk short distances with the use of a walking frame, and even that is painfull. it feels like there was a me before I became disabled and a me after. As a Christian it has made me more dependent on God to help me through the bad times, which is something I cherish. but, sometimes I just want to run across the beach and feel the sand between my toes again :) We will all be made new, through the grace of God, one day. This life was never meant to be easy xxx
Amen and amen 🙏. Well said
Debra-I agree...for 10 years, I have been suffering physically and emotionally. But God is my best friend. I talk to him every night and sometimes during other hours as well.But I know that going through what I have been through are Life lessons and it's a tough battle but then I give it to God. I will take a xanax to calm me down because I have to. I will keep you in my prayers.
I’ve had full spine MRI and it lasted just over an hour. I had music to listen to but I did find it very hard to lay still for so long due to pain. I’m so happy you got some pain meds, Jenny! 💐💕💐💕💐💕
Due to my chronic pain from Autoimmune Disease, my horrid Claustrophobia, and my new panic attacks for medical procedures, my doctor recommended doing a Stand-Up MRI for my spine. They are hard to find. I live in a metropolitan city and there was 1 place that did it. You aren't actually standing, but sitting in a chair that is open and the machine is around you, except not in front. They gave ear plugs and played a movie with closed captions, lol. But I could do it and the images come out just as clear as the regular or open MRI's.
Hang in there. I was just thinking the other day, since my cancer diagnosis my life will never be the same. I was so healthy and strong, I used to be able to lift weights 🏋️♀️ Now I am not who I was. My body has changed for the worse. So frustrating. I also get scared when I think of time lines. It’s not fair, I see people smoking 🚬 and drinking and they love long lives 😠 us healthy ones seem to get this horrible disease. Anyway, thank you for sharing. Sending my love 💞
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
Cancer is an evil gift from the devil to good people to destroy us…
I'm so sorry you are going through this. My husband has stage 4 lung cancer as well. Been 3 years now. I hate what this has done to him. He braves it every day. Just as you do. Cancer is like a tornado. It skips around. Hits this house, not that house. Even the ones with the strongest foundations can get blown away. I pray for you. May God give you condor and peace.
Hello how are you doing?
Cancer happens.. so many reasons why not necessarily anyone's fault. Its okay to be sad... much love 💘
Oh Jenny it is so normal to have these feelings. I remember when I was going through cancer treatment I just couldn’t look at pictures of myself pre cancer, it’s a very unsettling feeling, I remember having a panic attack and just repeating over and over to myself ‘I want my old life back’ so I understand exactly how you’re feeling and it’s perfectly normal. I am so glad you had a positive experience with your pain management Doctor. You are such a beautiful soul, sending love and positive healing vibes your way xx
I found Jenny a month before she passed and fell inlove with her soul , such a brave and sweet girl , a great mother a great wife , an a execptional human being , when found up she passed I cryed like if she would've been my sister , life can be so unfair .
So proud of you for finally getting pain management. I'm glad it turned out well and I love the leaf bouquet. A grandma in Texas is praying for your family.
Hi 👋how are you doing?
Probably going to say this so many more times but this is my fav Jenny video right now
Jenny, you are an amazing beautiful wife and mother. You are the daughter every parent wants. You will never be the same as you were in those pictures, cancer or not. With time comes age and growth. You are beautiful inside and out. 💓 Im so sorry your so sad, but we just see beauty and grace darlin'.
I miss you, Jenny. How can you miss someone you've never met? I think it's because you so intimately shared your life and cancer journey, letting us really know who you are in the center of your being. Watching these videos now that you're gone can be comforting, just seeing your face and hearing your voice, and at times it's painful. Tonight it is soothing. I'm so glad you were in this world, even if you were taken too soon. You would be so proud of how Kyle and the kids are doing. You picked an extraordinary partner and father, and you will live on through them.
Tanz here from New Zealand 2 years ago last month I was diagnosed with stage 3b hormone positive invasive breast cancer with lymph node involvement I have had 2 major surgeries and numerous minor surgeries chemo and radiation and I relate to you so much I too miss the person I was active in my business of window tinting applying film from scaffolding off high roof areas and 6 days a week I can't even tend my garden as much as I would like now and my daughter is 26 yrs old but I even find myself looking back and wondering why I wasted so much time when she was little working so hard - you are a great mumma and obviously a loving wife and a beautiful person I am sorry you are going through this so young it does suck and the time just seems to drag on we keep expecting to feel like we used to and then wonder if that will ever happen
I had a pet ct scan today and I have a major needle phobia now which I never used to have so my hubby has to hold my hand which is sweet but I wish he didn't have to
All my love to you and may god bless you
My mom battled cancer it’s almost like she slowly lost pieces of herself along the way. I grieved the pieces of herself she had to give up and so did she. Hugs cancer is hard. It’s ok to miss the old you that’s what you are fighting for. Blessings ❤️
Dearest Jenny, You are not feeling sorry for yourself. You are grieving your old self. but you are growing in other ways. Your heart is beautiful and pure and your children are so a reflection of your grace. Cancer sucks! I pray for you daily. Aloha
Hobby lobby, dollar tree, and target usually have mini ornaments if you wanna check there ❤ You could also make ornaments with the kids with craft paper, stickers, and ornament hangers. The trees are adorable either way ❤
ooh DIY! I love that idea, thanks 😊
Never be sorry for feeling sad, I cannot imagine what you are going through. You guys are the best parents and such a lovely couple. Its not fair and its ok to say it out loud. Btw I made the Halloween Snowman for the guys I work with in a Disability Accommodation and will be watching how you make it into a Christmas Tree, they loved it. Love from Australia 🦘🦘🦘
Lovely to see the kids, they’re gorgeous!So so pleased for you bonnie Jenny. Doesn’t it make you feel better when your doctor really listens? Our health service really sucks at the minute!!! I suppose the good thing about our health service ,ts the fact it’s totally free for everything!!!Though it’s in chaos at this time,it’s still free! Prayers as always lovely wee lassie x x love from Scotland 🏴
Bless your angel heart Jenny. I’m so sorry you are/wee gone to soon! Not fair at all! You deserve to be here! Rest easy beautiful one! 🌹
Jen your poor body has been through so much. All that chemo. All that horrid immune therapy. Cortisone. I’m not surprised you aren’t feeling yourself. It’s not necessarily the cancer that’s making you feel week. I bet it’s all the things your body has endured. Give your body a little time to recover and cleans itself from that onslaught. I have good feelings about this new therapy. You seem much brighter the last few videos. I hope you continue to feel more well and stronger. Every day. ❤❤❤
You've got this. Everyone deserves A good cry and time to feel sorry for themselves. Don't apologize to us. You'll get through this.
Jenny, as a cancer survivor, I think it’s normal to not feel like yourself while going through this time. Also, we all want to believe that we can prevent something like this from happening. But the reality is that we don’t have that level of control and that is sobering and scary. I wish you peace and better health in the new year.
Hello how are you doing?
Oh sweetie don’t ever be sorry for crying or venting. I admire you so much, the strength, bravery and absolutely grace you have is beautiful. I know it’s hard to stay positive but you will be ok! We are all rooting and praying for you. Stay strong ❤
Jenny please don’t get overwhelmed with what might happen. You seem to me to be on a winning race now so look to the future and what plans you can make. You’ve been thru enough honey bow it’s time for you to be optimistic. You have a beautiful family who will always be there to support you. Have a happy Xmas with family and look forward to 2023 with a lot of promise. Bless you.
There are so many chapters of City of Hope in the country, especially NYC. I was on the board for several years of a big chapter in NYC. Our events were always over-crowded and our yearly fund-raiser was the go-to luncheon of the year. One amazing story: We were just starting a meeting one day when the chapter's president made her opening remarks and and added, Thank you Marion for your $85,000 donation. Marion didn't even look up...she just gestured with her hand like it was nothing. She was such a perfect example of humility. Not only didn't she want any applause or attention for her philanthropy, she also didn't want anyone to know. People may make fun of New Yorkers regularly, and today's epidemic of anti-semitism is once again concerning, but most of the City of Hope chapters in NYC are run by Jewish women, and they work their butts off. It warms my heart to know that the staff is kind and compassionate, I do get upset when you have to wait so long. I do remember those long waits in NY when my husband had throat cancer...it was brutal, but he was a. "cure."
These videos are a treasure for your family Jenny ❤. Thank you for letting us in on your journey, rest easy sweet girl.
I don’t know if you’ll ever see this, Kyle, but I hope you do.
I found your channel shortly before Jenny passed. It’s a love letter to Jenny but it’s just as much a love letter from Jenny. You and Jenny created a space here on YT that’s not just safe for you all but for us as well. We may not know you all IRL but people know when they’re witnessing something magical. Miraculous. And I don’t say that lightly.
But the reason I’m typing out this comment on an older video is because I’ve been praying for a sign that the career choice I’m now pursuing-at 43 nonetheless-is the right path. I have a bachelor’s degree but I still didn’t know myself at 22, so I just went with a degree I thought would be versatile (note: it wasn’t😂). The last several days, I’ve been feeling this immense pull towards a particular niche in this field. It’s a niche that truly is a calling rather than a job and I wanted to be 100% sure before I decided a specialization.
Today I was watching one of the videos from the immediate days prior to Jenny’s passing, and it was like someone spoke to my heart and it’s clear as day now.
I am hoping to become a Hospice nurse.
I may not know Jenny, but I like to think she’s the one that whispered to me to watch *that* specific video. Because now I know where I’m supposed to be.
Thank you for sharing Jenny with us, and thank you for showing people that love moves mountains.❤
It’s great that you can take pain meds as needed Jenny - great news. I’ve had an MRI of lower spine - it was about 45 mins lying still and flat so take your pain medication. You give so much love and care to the kids and Kyle that more than makes up for not being so physically active - and that is priceless. It’s also good to have a good cry and share your feelings. Here to listen anytime. Love the old footage and decorations! 🤗🤗
Oh Jenny! First I want to say that you looked so beautiful today in that gorgeous blue dress! I absolutely LOVE your dress! Also, please don't ever feel that you need to apologize for crying. This is your space to share & we are all here to support you & to love you! ❤❤❤
As for how you miss who you used to be....I'm right there with you! I may not have cancer, but I have been chronically ill since 2012 when by body decided that it just didn't want to digest food anymore...just stopped working. Finally in 2014, I was diagnosed with severe Gastroparesis & placed on a feeding tube after 2 years of drs telling me that it was all in my head or that I just needed to force myself to eat more & to exercise. Ok, like thats going to help an already weak & frail body. I hadn't held down a meal in 2 years & had lost nearly 75lbs. I wasn't placed on a feeding tube until I had a heart attack @ the age of 44. Now I have a pacemaker & a slew of heart issues. Im also immunocompromised & have had 3 infectious lung infections that have scarred my lungs up so badly that I will be on antibiotics the rest of my life. I also live with severe chronic pain as well & had to make that decision a few years back for pain management (best thing I ever did).
I too took care of myself. I ate healthy, worked out like crazy & I still got sick. I used to be so angry, but I finally figured out that the Lord had a special calling for me & that there was something I am to learn from all of this. I still have days where I throw myself a pity party & thats ok!
Hang in there Jenny & just know that you are loved! 🙏🏼🤟💝🙏🏼🤟💝🙏🏼🤟💝
Ohhh I almost forgot! Poinsettias are poisonous to dogs & cats. I'd hate to see something happen to your pets. Have a great day!
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
Your sadness is very well understood. Many hugs. There is no understanding this rotten intruder.
But yeah,
I battle with tnese questions of the injustice of this crap-illness. Your sadness and search for "me" is real and understandable. We do lose a bit of our essence in the frequently limiting repression of being sick. ♥️
You are so loving with a beautiful, sweet spirit . You are the mom your kids deserve and love. I’m praying for you to beat this …God bless you and your beautiful family..
Your guardian angel is definitely with you. I kept seeing orbs in your car. 💫 🌟
While I don’t have cancer I definitely understand what you mean by not being yourself anymore🥺 I broke my hip at age 32 right after I had my last baby and it has forever changed my life!! I just got a revision on it in May and it made my Chronic pain worse😣 I now have peripheral neuropathy in my leg and can barely put any weight on it and I’m in constant pain even with pain meds. I cry all the time about not being able to do what I used to do so you’re not alone in thinking that nor are you being selfish. It’s like we are mourning apart of ourselves that we’ve lost 😞 I’m praying for you Jenny 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@SuperChristine000 No I have not but I’ve tried Amitriptylin and it didn’t help at all. Plus I was allergic to it. Is Amitriptylin similar to what you’re taking?
That’s rotten for you. I have had my sciatic nerve stitched to hip joint during a replacement 12 years ago which has left me in severe pain with neurological damage and pain beyond belief. I take opiates and try to get on with life.Amitrip didn’t work for me either. You have a small child who needs you and I m sure you will try and maker their life with you happy with lots of love. Good luck and enjoy Christmas.
Those pain meds were made for situations like this pls don’t be afraid to take your medicine. You deserve a good quality of life however long that may be. Love you ❤
Love and miss you Jenny. Please send extra love and light to Kyles broken heart. Even though you can't be seen love and kindness like yours transcends. ❤🙏🏼Hang in there Kyle!! You are doing great even though you feel like you fake it. Its part of grief sadly, you just go through motions until eventually it sticks. You're in my heart thoughts and prayers as always. ❤🌲🙏🏼❤️🌲
I’m so sorry that you’re feeling so bad. I can’t imagine going through what you’re going through. You will get through this and you will come back even stronger then you were before all this! You have so many people praying for you. ❤️✌🏻🎄🍎
So brave and so courageous, you are very much loved. Your honesty is sobering, thank you for just being you.
I was put on Tramadol to cope with pain. After several months, I saw that it was an opioid. I asked my doctor if I could stop taking it. She agreed. I was put on a slow withdrawal rate. It took several weeks to complete. I was put on a different medication, which is not addictive. You need a strong medication to cope right now. Don't be afraid of opoids. You can easily come off them.
I loved the videos of you and the children💞
