That immunotherapy sounds almost like SEPSIS!!! The whole body chemistry is disrupted and your immune system is suddenly attacking the body and all your vital organs full force as mis-perceived pathogens!😨
Our son was infused yesterday. He has metastatic from liver to spleen sarcoma. He is 49, married, 3 children 13, 7, and 5.A wonderful father, husband, son, and brother.I pray God help him. I pray God help us all.
How is your son doing today? I'm hoping he responded well to the infusions. I am a cancer survivor. Two older sisters of mine did not survive their battle with cancer.🙏
Also think of that. In the comment thread directly above this one there's a woman who is going thru it alone + said how difficult + overwhelming all the appointments are bc of it. 😢
The care team was just myself and my beautiful daughter 🙏🏻But most helpful person you have in your corner is God🙏🏻💫🙌🏻He to this day almost 3 years later to date my dear daughter is doing well 🙏🏻🙌🏻But she still has them, but what if😢I tell God knows what you need just talk to him 🙏🏻Can’t explain how she must feel having 3 kids 21,16,10🥰🙏🏻🙌🏻💫Mom how did do this all alone I said by the grace of God🙏🏻🙌🏻💫She is my only one I had her just after turning 16 she and Lon of 21 years together and my kids I had to stay strong🙏🏻💫🙌🏻❣️Ty God for all your blessings 🥰🙏🏻
@@iamwhoiam7887 or hes just loving and caring, great husband? They probably dont even know what simp means. Go find real love instead of writing useless shit
I am so angry they didn’t get a ct chest scan when she first had pain, they could have caught it before it spread everywhere. She went through so much, rip sweet Jenny
I know that Dr she had was someone I wouldn't want as my doctor. She didn't seem to care for Jenny's health, concerns in the beginning. She should've had Jenny do a scan maybe Jenny would have beat her cancer.
Exactly. If caught early before it spread then maybe she would have had a chance. I hate when doctors don't take their patients concerns seriously. @@KourtOreilly
My heart hurts for these beautiful people. F' cancer and big pharma and the CDC and the AMA and docs who are experimenting. It takes decades of working in the American medical field to let go of the pride and see that you've been wrong in your treatments. May God turn this around and bring truth and help to all. God bless this beautiful family. RIP beautiful Jenny.
“I felt bad she had to see that.” Jenny was in excruciating pain and yet, at that moment, she thought of her sister. You’re amazing, Jenny. You are in the right place, Heaven.
I have been depressed lately. I have thought about not wanting to be around anymore. Jennys videos suddenly popped in to my recommended a few weeks ago at one of my lowest points, and while watching them an old memory came to me that I haven't thought of in years. A teacher that once said about people that want to take their own lives, how unfortunate and unappreciative it is when there are mothers dying of cancer, and too bad such people can't give our lives to a mother with young kids who's dying of cancer but who wants really wants to live. It felt like a message from the universe somehow, to be reminded of that statement while seeing Jenny's videos documenting her journey. Jenny had such a purpose here. And she has shown me something. To not take little things, and good health, and just being here, for granted.
Having been widowed twice I know the tragedy of losing two husbands in two different ways - the first passed from battling cancer for 10+ years, the second from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Both were tragic and very difficult times for me. I suffered great guilt from both events. But what I learned from both those traumatic events is that life is a precious gift. We all get one. I attempted suicide both times, but I'm still here for a reason. It's been 8 years since my second husband passes and I'm still here. I guess it's for a reason. And I'm very thankful for it! We all have a choice, and I choose life! Be thankful for being able to see the sun rise and set each and every day. It's one day at a time 😊
We miss you Jenny 💐😔 it’s so nice to hear your voice. The world is so fortunate to have your everlasting footprints here on TH-cam, and you will impact the world and help people for all eternity. I know that you are happy and grateful to be with your baby in heaven ❤ Kyle and the kids will be okay until you meet again, and you know that 🙏🏼🤍🤍🤍 Thank you Jenny for everything that you are 🌱
I agree. I would have given my life for a wife who even pretended to adore me the way he clearly and undeniably adores her. i pent 20 year with my malignant narcissist ex. I will never be the same. But I agree with you 100%.
My sister was diagnosed with lung cancer in March of 2021 and went thru radiation and chemo. She also was given a months rest before starting immunotherapy. Her first round was ok, the second round almost killed her as her body went into organ failure which was beyond scary. Needless to say she also couldn’t continue with this drug which we all thought was going to be an insurance policy to keep any further cancer cells from developing. Thankfully she is still in remission. I will keep you guys in my prayers.
I had two friends that did immune therapy. I saw their decline so fast. From intense sickness to loss of balance, weakness to point of inability to walk it was horrible. Both passed with 1 to 6 months after taking immune therapy. I will not take immune therapy for my Cancer..side effects destroyed their little quality they had left. So I told Oncologist no immune therapy. Jenny you are so blessed to have Kyle. I am alone and overwhelmed w all the tests and appointments. Bless you all.
I wish I knew you back then, Jenny. I'm allergic to Sulfa. Bacterium made everything taste like poison. Especially anything with vinegar in it. You have been thru it so long and hard. I can't believe all the side effects from your treatments. That's why you're my hero!! The love you have for your family kept you with us. I love you and will miss your sweet face. I've been asking my son Steven to greet you when you leave this journey. You will be healed and happy!! Heaven is LOVE!! NO Pain, no heartache. That doesn't mean that we will forget you. Don't be scared. 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
I'm so sorry you weren't able to get the treatment Jenny. A year later and I'm so, so sorry but you fought a beautiful fight. You deserve your rest sweet one
Jenny you were so sweet and special and we will never forget you and your courageous fight against this awful evil disease. I wish you were still here with us so much. I can just imagine you with your baby Leo . Praying for your family 💔
Jenny and Kyle, I just need to say that you two are truly AMAZING!!! Jenny, you're beautiful, inside and out. Kyle, you are what's consider a "true man". So many spouses walk out because they say, "I didn't sign up for this". It happens every day. I'm in awe of the both of you. You've been through "he!!" and back but you remain so strong. Remember, God loves you and even though this is the toughest ride you've ever been on, He's with you ❤️
Some partners have an affair during cancer treatment. Or during life/death severe illness. Mine did. I had kidney failure, on dialysis, and was starting to get offers for a kidney transplant, in CA, and AZ. The first time, in 8.5 years. My BF at the time, was having an affair with his co-worker. The scary part is, he was a nice guy! Super kind and supportive. He would go to my appointments with me, and was fully present. But affairs are considered domestic abuse. I had to move out, and live with my mom, who has mental health problems. I also lost 80% of our friends, because no one would believe he chose to do that to me. "Switzerland Friends". Plus, I met most of our friends through him. But I am so grateful for the wonderful people who helped me!! I now surround myself with genuine good people!! I am watching this couple, and learning how partners, friends, and family Should support each other. Often it is painful to watch how love-ing and supportive Kyle is to Jenny, but this is how couples, friends and and family Should treat each other!
Keep up the fight Jenny. You are awesome! I share your stage 4 diagnosis but mine is breast cancer. I take it one scan at a time (usually anxious for the week before and after) and I am grateful to be here. I continue following you and sending prayers your way
The love between the two of you is so precious. Thank you for sharing this story with us. It truly takes a village to care for someone with cancer. We are here for you and love you dearly. 😘🙏🏻💕
Such a beautiful powerful couple. I have always said I can not imagine what she/this family went thru. We miss you JA but you rest well also know that Kyle and your children will be ok. You did good Jenny, you did good 🫶💯💚
You inspire me. I was recently diagnosed with a very minor skin cancer. I freaked out a bit and right at the same time your video came up. I watched all you have been through and realized how much worse things could be and it shook me out of my little pity party. Your journey has been incredible. You are beautiful with extra weight. Build your strength but don’t worry about the weight as long as you are healthy. Keep shinning your beautiful light. You never know when it will touch someone.
I must have missed something because Jenny is slim. The only time I recall thst she didn't like her appearance, was when she was on dexamethasone - but I thought the doctor weaned her off. Maybe they put her back on it to reduce further inflammation.
Praying for you all. I’ve been watching your videos for a few months. You are such a sweetheart Jenny. Also you and Kyle have such a wonderful relationship. Your kids are an adorable testament to their loving parents. I have children your age and I’m also an RN. I spent most of my career in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. It was such a privilege to care for these little miracles. I had to stop working in 2011 because of health issues. I still hope I can go back to work someday. I can’t imagine being so young and going through cancer. You have such a grace about it all. I always want to come through the TV and hug you. It’s okay to be angry,scared and frustrated with all you are enduring. I will continue to follow your journey and pray for you all.🙏❤️🙏
You've been through so much. I'm going back and rewatching some I already watched. :( I think there's a lot of people watching the videos today that don't know or don't remember everything you have already done and have already been through. These treatments have been soo hard on you for such a long long time.
Dear Jenny rest in peace 😢 you were and are an angel and we were all lucky to have had you in this world. Even though we never met i will continue to pray for you and you're lovely family ❤
I cried throughout this video. I cannot believe the hell you went through and the horrible pain you experienced. Those blisters and red spots were everywhere. I just couldn't imagine this therapy could cause all this damage. You were so thin from not eating. You were such a warrior. This video has been a real eye opener for all of us. Dear God, please look after Jenny and bring her strength. Heal her from this horrible disease and make her well again. Amen.
I held back the tears and felt the lump in my throat. Jenny and too many young ppl like her are in the fight for their life. I am going to agree with you in prayer
My brother who is 80yrs old is undergoing immunotherapy currently for bladder cancer. Well, he did it for 6 weeks but latest scope showed cancer in his ureter and kidney, so I don’t know what is next for him. I feel blessed by all of your vlogs. Your calm, honest, realistic approach to your cancer journey inspires me daily. Praying a rosary for you everyday. Keep the faith.🙏🏻🙏🏻
I have been watching your recent videos and found this today from a year ago. This was absolutely horrific. I can’t imagine how you came through this smiling and with nothing but gratitude and positivity! Just shows what truly remarkable people you and Kyle are. When I was on chemo (which was awful but was nothing remotely like your experience), I would have been so thankful for someone sharing their journey. I remember how scary everything was and I wondered if these feelings and symptoms were “normal”. That was 17 years ago and there was no TH-cam so I admire you and Kyle for sharing, even if it is painful to relive those terrible times. I’m positive there are so many people out there who are benefitting from these videos. So thankful you have Kyle by your side. He is a true hero. It is now September 2023, and you all are still fighting every day. I pray every day for a miracle for you and your family.
Jenny you are so brave l couldn't imagine the pain you was going through, Kyle is amazing husband you have beautiful children and fantastic parents sending you so much love from UK ♥️♥️♥️🌹🙏
Omg cant even begin to imagine how hard it must have been to be away for so long 😢 honestly you are a True Warrior, Kyle you are an absolute treasure❤ 38:46
All that gratitude can move mountains, can separate self from the difficult parts, and she really had it for all. The two are just so admirable. Truly meant to be in this together, hard as it was, they both faced it head on to keep one another going, propped up. Sick as she was, she remained beautiful. Grateful you had one another and your parents siblings to assist. God bless them all. Truly Inspirational then, now, and far beyond. 🙏💖💫
Wow this so shocked me as a retired nurse I had no idea this could happen . I had only heard about good reactions to this treatment . As a cancer survivor myself I do understand the horrors of chemo and radiation. Prayers for you and your family 🙏❤️
Watching this makes me cry and can’t possibly imagine how you felt or both of you coped. Thank god you had great staff that makes such a difference I’m a nurse and I know that’s not always the case sending love from the U.K. xxxx
You have been through the wringer... Now you can just get better... 🙏ing for a complete healing for you Jenny. Stay as positive as you can. You have an amazing husband and family... You got this... 💜💜⚘️
I have rewatched this video. Jenny you were an Angel before you left this world. How did you endure all of this. I wonder. why oh why, you could not be saved. Kyle you are an Angel too. The love and care you brought to Jenny is mind blowing. I have to close out and thank you for sharing this journey. Hopefully. all Jenny endured will benefit someone on their cancer journey.
Wow! What a roller coaster you and your family have been on through this immuno-therapy. There are times in my cancer journey that I feel like I can't continue the fight that started Spring 2022. All I have to do is watch your vlog, assess your journey and I realize my challenges are a walk in the park Jenny. Having your loving husband Kyle to help both physically and emotional is such a blessing. I will continue to be one of your Prayer Warriors. Please take care of each other and stay strong. 💕 Momma Tessa
Having a supportive caring husband makes all the diffence!! I couldn't have made it through my cancer journey without my husband, he absolutely took the greatest care of me, I'm not saying family and friends weren't important, because they were, but your husband is Great and I'm so glad he is there for you!!
Dear Jenny: You sure went through the fire with that immunotherapy, yet you can smile and talk about it. You are a very strong young lady with a very strong and kind husband. Thank you for sharing your story with us. I pray that our beloved Father will send His healing to your body and send great health and happiness to you and your family. I am proud of you and admire your strength and resilience. Bless you.
My mother went through the exact same reaction to the immunotherapy, and they also told her that no more than 2% of patients had a bad reaction... and unfortunately she was part of that 2%... Im so glad to see you are doing better from the immunotherapy reaction. My poor Mother never fully recovered from the side effects. Praying for a speedy recovery Jenmy You are a strong amazing person! ❤🥰
Wow. People don’t even realize what your spouse goes through when you are on this type of journey. I am on a similar journey and my husband is experiencing so many of the things you discuss in this video. We have a few friends who support us with rides to appointments but people don’t realize how hard it is for spouses to have to cook and clean and care for a loved one while trying to handle it ALL. HUGS TO YOU AND YOUR SWEET FAMILY ❤
What you have been through takes my breath away; your resilience, strength (mentally, emotionally, and physically), and thankfulness for the smallest things and everyone is beyond touching. You guys make the BEST team--so cute, so genuine, so loving!!! I also loved seeing your dogs when you came home--heartwarming!! Thank you for such an informative video!!!
I have been watching your channel for a little while but, went back through your videos to watch the ones I hadn’t seen . Your the most beautiful amazing and strongest women I have ever seen throughout your cancer journey. God bless you and your family much love and blessings from Texas .
What a wonderful and useful video, awww Jenny you were , and still ate, one of the most beautiful woman. So amazing how you shared what you went through and help so many people. You inspire strength , faith and hope. The memories you left Rock. You’re a 🌟
Kyle. You are also a warrior. You are such a strong man. Sweet Jenny cherished you, and we all hope you are well and taking care of yourself. Please know that you did EVERYTHING in the best and most perfect way. We love y'all, we love you, please take care of yourself.
You both never cease to amaze me! Not once have I ever heard a "poor me" statement... and you're always more concerned about others over how YOU are! Jenny you're so brave (I was crying so much!), and Kyle... you are an absolute gem!! I only started watching you when I went to bed because I thought I was just going to watch 5 minutes or so... for now. HA!!! Here I am still watching to the very end!! I love you both!! Can you please show a close-up of Kyle's tattoo?? I was trying to see it but I would love him to hold his arm sideways! Does it say Jenny? Well... until I see you again... sending big hugs from Maine! 💕🌷💕
Jenny I know where you are coming from I was on immunotherapy for two years , near the end of treatment my heals fell off they will never be cured I have to wear bells in my shoes my hands where so blistered even now two years later I can’t hold anything hot and my mouth never recovered , everything I have has to be Luke warm. Iv still got my lung cancer. But listening to you gives me more than you realise. You are an amazing lady. Susan UK.
Jenny fought 2 years 8 months lasting battle that was already lost. Her cancer was so aggressive that her poor body didn't tolerate or responded well to any treatment. It breaks my heart to watch this now, knowing the bitter end she met because you can visibly see she still had hope.
Jenny, I have to smile about your shower experience. Mine was narrow and designed for a wheelchair with a curtain you couldn't close hooked up to everything. I had to manage most of it on my own and flooded. The second time, maintenance asked if I was ever scheduled to go across the hall while I sat there in tears. They actually had a massive room with a shower and nurse to situate you and leave so I could shower. They asked the charge nurse to schedule. My dignity was returned. I'm sorry you experienced this as you probably are too. Here, they are looking at the treatment given before and the timeline before the therapy to see if there is a correlation. Even the blood type is being looked at. My daughter had a similar experience and it stayed with her to a point to this day. You made the right choice to try and for you, the right choice to stop. You are so fortunate to have such a supportive family network. Thank you for sharing.
Rip Jenny… Thank you so much for sharing your experience. It is very important for others going through similar journey. 🙏🏽❤️ So glad to see you had Kyle and your family beside you in this difficult experience.
What this wonderful girl went through to live is incredulous. I so wish you had made it Jenny. You went through the mill sweet girl and you didn’t deserve any of it.
Praying for peace and recovery Jen! 😢. Dear God why do people go through so much suffering? So sorry you are going through this! You are both so lovable. 🙏💜
what a great woman, i envy her mental strength, i am very grateful to her and her husband for the dedication to show their story, i am sure she inspired many to have hope and fight, rest in piece beautiful soul, you are just preparing for your next journey
Such a warrior, a very graceful one at that. I’ve never been through something so complex and severe, your strength is admirable. Kyle is also pretty amazing, extremely supportive and caring everything you’d want in a partner. Wishing you the best, you and your family are in my thoughts.
You were so brave Jenny! Your story will help another young mothers going through the same thing you did. Now you are resting in peace, in the very presence of God till you reunite with your family again. ❤❤then it will be forever!!
The cc trwaymrns kill ans destroy. I was rnd dtage 4 did narural gwrson thrapy with eaw nutritio itcsaved my lifr helping the body to naturally heal itself
I think this beautiful soul, went through every terrible thing that can go with cancer ! However, she beat it ! As Kyle says, it did not beat her ! Continue in the bliss you deserve Sweet Angel……..🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
Hello, I am so inspired by your videos and look forward to seeing them as you post new ones. I was diagnosed with stage IIIA adenocarcinoma of the lung and lymph node in Feb 2019. I also have COPD so lungs are very weak. They gave me chemo treatments and the 6 weeks of daily radiation. I am 65 and trying to live on social security. Being divorced is not easy and I so admire your beautiful family. Your husband looks at you with such love in his eyes it’s so refreshing in this day and age. I recently saw your video on your bad reaction to immunotherapy. This therapy (Durvalumab) has completely ruined my life. I can’t go into specific details for the whole world to see but I had about 6 treatments and felt pain in my body… they stopped the therapy and put me on 80 mg prednisone per day for many months, long enough to gain 80 lbs, get moon face and hump back… ugg, I had to get off of those. I so hoped my pain would go away, well. 2 and a half years later the pain still plagues me every day. The steroids didn’t completely relieve the pain but cut it in half. A year later we tried the steroid avenue again for a short time but still no relief. They tell me that rather than attacking the cancer cells it’s attacking my healthy cells. I’ve seen several doctors who all say they have never heard of the kind of side effects that I have but one said it caused me to have “a sort of internal auto immune disease”. Thanks for listening, or reading, I didn’t know anyone had bad effects from this drug until I saw your video.. Thank you! Pam in Midwest USA
Wow. Just wow. You are incredible, Jenny. You too, Kyle. So inspiring! You can get through anything with the help of our Lord and Savior. He is with you every step of the way. May God bless you and your lovely family. I will continue to pray
wow, this video is amazing. Jenny was trying to explain cancer treatment and when she mentioned immunotherapy I was wondering myself... why? And in that very moment, Kyle stopped her and clarified my doubts. Very clear explanation, even for people who do not have much info about cancer treatment. Kyle, you have amazing comms skills, very thoughtful when you speak, calm, making things looks simple, even if they are not. You are amazing human being and you are great to anticipate the needs of Jenny and the people around you, even viewers. You really deserve a price. Jenny as well was very smart into pointing out that her story is a rare case, a bad reaction to immunotherapy to not scare anyone who was about to take it. WE LOVE YOU.
Much appreciated video! Lots of people assume that immunotherapy is "easier than chemo." I remember many telling me this when I was on it, and have known many patients who imagine that it is going to be a walk in the park compared to that charged word, “chemo.” For some, it does work very well, and may give minimal side effects. For others, though, it is as tough as the most daunting chemo. You seem to have won the trophy for most miserable immunotherapy side effects. Holy Moly. Our bodies are exquisite and delicate machines, and I am so sorry that yours was being so hurt by what was put in it. I am glad that this is a “getting it told” video of something that happened long ago, and that its misery is a memory for your body (not always true for the mind). Yay. My first cancer (bladder, stage III) was treated with surgery followed by immunotherapy. All immunotherapies are different, and this one for the bladder cancer, "BCG" is, WEIRDLY, the live TB virus, put directly into the bladder. After they administered it (catheter -- ehhhh, not that bad) I would turn, side, stomach, back, side, every 15 minutes (or was it 30?) to expose all parts of the bladder. It was no fun, causing all sorts of symptoms, but it was do-able, and I got through. I think that one of the quite notable things about this, is that my uncle, who lived in Australia, was fighting the exact same cancer. When HE did the BCG treatments, he was put in hospital and kept until his urine was TB-free, sometimes several days, as it was (of course) considered a public health hazard! Here in the good old USA, all they told me was, “Go directly home and stay there two days, and every time you pee, sanitize the seat, and follow that with bleach poured into the toilet. Let the bleach sit for an hour and then flush. I was a walking TB contaminant! A few times I had to go to the store, but I was in and out, and did not use the rest room. How many people out in public, I wondered, might be using a restroom and leaving live TB around!? Not that many, I’m sure, but ewwww just the same. I have wondered how on earth this treatment was discovered, and imagined a bunch of doctors partying hard and being “Jack Ass” stupid. “Hey man, who’s down?Let’s shoot some live tuberculosis virus up our wee-wees and see what happens! Got a baster? Com‘ on! Drop ‘em! Hey, Jones! Grab the TB out of the freezer!” Yes, my mind goes to many places...many of them silly and or strange. Incurable weirdness. I write the following in the case that it might be helpful to someone: Oxy-co-done w/apap (apap being acetominaphen / Tylenol, anti-inflammatory, fever reducer), referred to frequently as Vicodin is a super common go-to for pain, and works very well, but as with you, sadly, it does.not.work.at.all for others, or makes them feel strange in an unpleasant way. I had always understood that oxycontin was stronger than the oxycodone, but they are the same medicine, the simple difference being that oxycontin is a delayed-release medicine, while oxycodone is more immediate and tends to not last as long, and contains Tylenol. Perhaps their functioning makes one seem stronger than the other, even at the same dose. It felt like that to me when I was prescribed oxycontin. Regarding morphine, it's another great pain reliever, but again, not tolerated by many. Interestingly, some who cannot tolerate morphine do tolerate its synthetic version, hydromorphone (Dilaudid), which is a common go-to in hospitals. Worth remembering, it’s another excellent pain reliever. Fentanyl is another big hitter, and when used as it should be, it's a great relief. Of course there are a zillion other medicines out there. So glad that you discovered what pain relief worked / works for you. Oh, how we become familiar with these, and all sorts of things as we trek through our experiences! You are now helping others facing this, or similar challenges. It is good, overall, for people to know how severe these things can be. We walk around in the world so protected from the loads of suffering that is right under our noses. Exposure to it, I believe, builds better perspectives and more compassion with which to behold general everyday life. Once more, I go on! Haha. Well, time to pull myself from the keyboard and start to come down a bit. I will probably watch livestream of the Queen’s funeral, which means it starts for us here in CA, at 2:45am, haha. Whatever. I slept until 4:00pm today and may do it tomorrow, too! To the devil with responsible sleep hours! May you already be soundly and cozily asleep. Don’t know about you down there, but up here we have had a very full day of wonderful, beautiful rain! Hope it continues. Garden, trees, forest...everything is happy. Sending a ton of love. ~ joana PS You have created such a beautiful family.
You are such a strong, amazing woman, Jenny! Kyle, you are so good to your lovely wife, you truly honor your wedding vows. I love your family and pray for you numerous times daily. ❤
Thank you both so much for sharing the details of this ordeal. I wish most people would be this open so that we can know what we may or may not experience.
I start imfinzi this November. I too have lung cancer and stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. I hope I do well. I miss Jenny and her bright, sunshiny personality. I know Kyle and the kids really miss her. Her loss brings tears to my eyes.
You are my hero! I think with all the things starting with being hit by a car when I was 18 to the next decades of one surgery after another, then diagnosed with systemic lupus when my 3 sons were young and it destroying my pancreas and chronic pain, but everything I’ve gone thru for the past 44 years pales to all you’ve been through! I know with how close you’ve come to the immunotherapy almost taking your life, but you made it through, that God wants you here to see your kids graduate from high school and dance at their weddings! I have faith He will cure you as he can and has performed many miracles! I’m praying for you and your entire family to get thru your cancer journey. 💗💐🙏🏼
Tears here, looking at the photos. No anesthetic for the tissue samples. Pain meds having no effect. The far away look in your eyes, looking right through the camera in your hospital bed, tells me you weren't there - a coping mechanism. I join others who are in awe of your resilience watching your videos, but for this video, I am only compelled to say...you poor muffin. Poor baby. ..You've been through so much. My heart is with you.
I mentioned here several months ago that my FIL had just gotten diagnosed with lung cancer at the age of 80. He's on immunotherapy, no chemo,and so far it's shrunken the tumor and there has been no spread. Sorry you had such a bad reaction.
Hi Jenny, I've been watching for a while now but missed this one. What a horrible horrible time you must have had here after the immunotherapy. How awful. This might sound weird in a way but no matter what you seem to be going through, you still seem to real and strong and even beautiful. It's just so bizarre that cancer can attack the healthiest people. I just read an article about it being in our genes. God Bless you and Kyle and your beautiful children. I think it's really good that you are documenting this, especially for your children. It's also so personal and can help other people going through the same thing. Lots of love and hugs from Ontario, Canada
Jenny the bad news the cancer did spread the good news you our still here I also have heart and lung disease I was diagnosed with it 7 years ago and I will not let this control me I live day to day some days our better then others you have an amazing family amazing husband you our a fighter keep going girl all my prayers
I have been diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer, I did chemo and radiation and finished it , it wasn’t easy and now they want me to do the exact immunotherapy that you have done. I’m like you because I don’t like medication and I’m plant based and try to do everything natural. I didn’t want to do chemo or radiation but I did it because my daughter and wife wanted me to do it. The side effects were terrible from the chemo, soars in mouth, headache, fatigue, neuropathy, dizziness, vertigo, ringing in my ears, hearing loss, nausea are just some of the side effects I had that I can remember. Now I’m terrified about doing the immunotherapy because of the side effects and body has been through enough and don’t want to put it through more trauma. I salute you and your husband for going through this, you’re a strong couple and I am praying for you both for a strong recovery and long life together. Thank you for putting your experience on here it is really helpful and informative. I wish you the best!!!
Hi.... lung cancer stage IIIB and I did the chemo and radiation - now supposed to do the Imfinzi. Did you do it? I don't want to but without it my cancer will spread.
@@kathleenmcbride1471 sorry to hear your going thru this unfortunate situation, I’ll keep you in my prayers. Congratulations on finishing your chemo and radiation I know that was tuff. I was done after that, meaning I was tired of being stuck with needles and didn’t want to put anything else in my body. My doctor urged and pushed me to do the immunotherapy but I said no. It was hard enough of just going against my personal beliefs and doing the chemotherapy and radiation and I didn’t want to do that. The only reason I did is because my wife and my daughter was pushing me to do it and my dad told me to think of them not just myself but I was like but I’m the one going through it. So I did it but if I could do it over I would not do it again. I believe in natural healing from herbs and eating right, holistic healing and practices. I believe the body can heal itself if you give it what it needs. Fruits, vegetables, nuts, plant base foods, superfoods, exercise, yoga, natural spring water., and the right supplements keep the body on an alkaline diet. When you get a chance look up yakia awakening on TH-cam and check out what he is doing for people. So if I had to do it again, I wouldn’t I didn’t have no problems or issues until I did the chemo and radiation and still deal with the side effects today , but I’m treating those symptoms naturally. I had no pain, no cough, it wasn’t in my blood, I felt fine except for the fact of my doctor telling me I had cancer which I never believed it still to this day. So after I finished chemo and radiation I was done they said the cancer was gone but I should do immunotherapy because it could come back and spread but they couldn’t give me no guarantees about anything. They said that the immunotherapy may kill any cancer that they could not see and might stop it from spreading if it did come back. No of that made sense to me and I’m a person that doesn’t let doctors scare me into something or just listen to what they say and take it as law, I do my own research and make my own decisions because this is my body and I’m the one who has to go through it. So I told him no I’m done and I’ll just do my check ups and do my natural/ holistic treatment for myself and I’m still cancer free, my last chemotherapy and radiation was in October, and my last check up was early this month. A few thinks that helped me is Apricot kernels, black seed oil pills, soursop tea, sea moss, herbs like cumin, turmeric, ginger, I also took RAPID IMMUNE RECOVERY from shiaqgaessentials.com/product/rapid-immune-recovery-membership/ , I also take this THC CALLED SIP i get from dispensery to help me eat because I lost weight went from 155 to 135 during chemo and radiation and now I’m 173 pounds in the gym, yoga, and active again and I took all of this while going through chemo and radiation. I found the SIP after I lost weight. So no I’m no doctor but I believe these are some of the things that worked for me. So do your research and make your own decision it’s your body. I believe everything is reversible and staying positive helps as well and it took time for you to get sick so it will take time for you to get better ❤️🩹 just gotta stay consistent. I really hope this helps because doctors don’t know your body or what you are feeling better than you know your body that’s why they always say well let’s try this to see if it helps and now your stuck on som medication that’s causing more issues when you could have been patient and healed it naturally but changing your lifestyle and eating habits…I’m praying for you and hope all is well with your family…much love to you…
What an excrutiating experience! I’m so very sorry you had to go through that! Thank you for sharing this with us. It must have taken so much courage and strength to get through that, let alone relive such a traumatic ordeal! You got this, Jenny. You rock too, Kyle!
I’m taking that medicine for my immunotherapy I’m so sorry for your major severe problems. I’m so glad you are putting this video out now and not before I started taking this medication Glad you are doing so much better. So sorry you had to go through all that.
Jenn Your one of the strongest people I've ever seen. I couldn't imagine dealing with all the pain you have been through. I pray for you to have as much comfort as possible. You're definitely so blessed to have the wonderful family you have.
How scary for you. I'm so glad you went to the hospital when you did. Its psychologically so scary having cancer in one's body and it attacking you but your own immune system. Love to you.
Sorry for all you have had to go Through & still going Through Ms. Jenny! Praying 🙏 God will completely Heal You of Cancer! You have such A Sweet Family that Love’s you soooo Much! We all 💖 you Ms. Jenny! Have A Blessed Day! 💖💕❤️❤️🙏😇🙏😇
You are a warrior! Your positivity through this struggle is inspiring! My aunt fought Hodgkins Lymphoma for 12 years. She was tough as nails! She managed to stay upbeat & tried to look on the bright side. You remind me so much of her! Thank you for sharing this journey! ❤
Rest in peace, angel. You fought with dignity and grace.
She was so brave just like my dad and so many others that died of this awful disease cancer. 😢
Yes she did ❤❤❤❤😊
She died in peace and now she's resting in peace❤
That immunotherapy sounds almost like SEPSIS!!! The whole body chemistry is disrupted and your immune system is suddenly attacking the body and all your vital organs full force as mis-perceived pathogens!😨
Rest in peace Jenny we will miss you dearly 😢
I won't. She married a c*ck. Had two kids with him who are going to have a miserable life. I've got no pity for her.
Our son was infused yesterday. He has metastatic from liver to spleen sarcoma. He is 49, married, 3 children 13, 7, and 5.A wonderful father, husband, son, and brother.I pray God help him. I pray God help us all.
How is your son doing today? I'm hoping he responded well to the infusions. I am a cancer survivor. Two older sisters of mine did not survive their battle with cancer.🙏
Praying for your son and your entire family!!! ❤🙏🏻
May God and the angels watch over him during infusion. May he do well through it.
Please God. Please give this precious family Your peace
This women is a true definition of warrior!! I couldn't even go through half of what she went through! This beautiful soul deserves to still be here..
Your story makes me think how hard a journey like this is for people who either don’t have family or don’t have family near them.
Same 😢
It would be so awful to have to go through cancer treatment alone.
Also think of that. In the comment thread directly above this one there's a woman who is going thru it alone + said how difficult + overwhelming all the appointments are bc of it. 😢
@@row_sea 😢
The care team was just myself and my beautiful daughter 🙏🏻But most helpful person you have in your corner is God🙏🏻💫🙌🏻He to this day almost 3 years later to date my dear daughter is doing well 🙏🏻🙌🏻But she still has them, but what if😢I tell God knows what you need just talk to him 🙏🏻Can’t explain how she must feel having 3 kids 21,16,10🥰🙏🏻🙌🏻💫Mom how did do this all alone I said by the grace of God🙏🏻🙌🏻💫She is my only one I had her just after turning 16 she and Lon of 21 years together and my kids I had to stay strong🙏🏻💫🙌🏻❣️Ty God for all your blessings 🥰🙏🏻
I have never in my life seen two people more in love than Kyle and Jenny. It’s what we all aspire to have in life ❤❤❤
He's kind of simpish tbh
@@iamwhoiam7887 or hes just loving and caring, great husband? They probably dont even know what simp means. Go find real love instead of writing useless shit
@@iamwhoiam7887 go fuck yourself. it sucks you've never been loved or taken care of. sucks for you, and only you
I can't believe she's gone 😢 I miss you Jenny 😢
She was one of a kind!! I am so happy she is resting with the Lord and no longer suffering.
I am so angry they didn’t get a ct chest scan when she first had pain, they could have caught it before it spread everywhere. She went through so much, rip sweet Jenny
I know that Dr she had was someone I wouldn't want as my doctor. She didn't seem to care for Jenny's health, concerns in the beginning. She should've had Jenny do a scan maybe Jenny would have beat her cancer.
Exactly. If caught early before it spread then maybe she would have had a chance. I hate when doctors don't take their patients concerns seriously. @@KourtOreilly
My heart hurts for these beautiful people. F' cancer and big pharma and the CDC and the AMA and docs who are experimenting. It takes decades of working in the American medical field to let go of the pride and see that you've been wrong in your treatments.
May God turn this around and bring truth and help to all.
God bless this beautiful family. RIP beautiful Jenny.
@@carolynw5171 you will want big pharma if you are ever diagnose. They save lives with research and medications.
“I felt bad she had to see that.” Jenny was in excruciating pain and yet, at that moment, she thought of her sister. You’re amazing, Jenny. You are in the right place, Heaven.
I am watching this and i can't believe you are gone. Rest in peace beautiful Jenny
She fought so hard. So beautiful
I have been depressed lately. I have thought about not wanting to be around anymore. Jennys videos suddenly popped in to my recommended a few weeks ago at one of my lowest points, and while watching them an old memory came to me that I haven't thought of in years. A teacher that once said about people that want to take their own lives, how unfortunate and unappreciative it is when there are mothers dying of cancer, and too bad such people can't give our lives to a mother with young kids who's dying of cancer but who wants really wants to live. It felt like a message from the universe somehow, to be reminded of that statement while seeing Jenny's videos documenting her journey. Jenny had such a purpose here. And she has shown me something. To not take little things, and good health, and just being here, for granted.
I hope you're doing okay.
Remember Jesus loves you, and You always can look to Him for help.. sorry My English is not that good
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful sentiment and well said❤@@mibara3712
Having been widowed twice I know the tragedy of losing two husbands in two different ways - the first passed from battling cancer for 10+ years, the second from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Both were tragic and very difficult times for me. I suffered great guilt from both events. But what I learned from both those traumatic events is that life is a precious gift. We all get one. I attempted suicide both times, but I'm still here for a reason. It's been 8 years since my second husband passes and I'm still here. I guess it's for a reason. And I'm very thankful for it! We all have a choice, and I choose life! Be thankful for being able to see the sun rise and set each and every day. It's one day at a time 😊
I can't believe this is a year ago, Jenny. It's Nov 3 23, and you are home on hospice.😢 Bless you all..such a sad time.
Lord, please continue to protect and guide jenny and her family and her doctors. Ease her pain. Amen
Amen🙏❤️
Amen
amin
Amen✝❤
Amen.
We miss you Jenny 💐😔 it’s so nice to hear your voice. The world is so fortunate to have your everlasting footprints here on TH-cam, and you will impact the world and help people for all eternity.
I know that you are happy and grateful to be with your baby in heaven ❤ Kyle and the kids will be okay until you meet again, and you know that 🙏🏼🤍🤍🤍
Thank you Jenny for everything that you are 🌱
Kyle your love story is what dreams are made of.❤ We salute you buddy it's been an honor. Fly high sweet Jenny...🕊
🦋🐞🦋🐞🦋🐞🦋🐞🦋🐞🦋🐞🦋🐞🕊
I come back often to get inspiration about L♥︎VE...I've never seen a more in love man & wife in all my years.
Her gut feeling about immunotherapy was right, she went downhill from here.
The way Kyle looks at you is just the best. I wish I had that level of love. Much love to you both. Xxoo
I agree. I would have given my life for a wife who even pretended to adore me the way he clearly and undeniably adores her. i pent 20 year with my malignant narcissist ex. I will never be the same. But I agree with you 100%.
You are one of the strongest people. Kyle is the most amazing husband. You go girl. Prayers.
My sister was diagnosed with lung cancer in March of 2021 and went thru radiation and chemo. She also was given a months rest before starting immunotherapy. Her first round was ok, the second round almost killed her as her body went into organ failure which was beyond scary. Needless to say she also couldn’t continue with this drug which we all thought was going to be an insurance policy to keep any further cancer cells from developing. Thankfully she is still in remission. I will keep you guys in my prayers.
Prayers for your sister! May she stay in remission God bless! ❤️✝️🙏❤️✝️🙏❤️✝️🙏❤️✝️🙏❤️✝️🙏
I’m i
Prayers for your family ♥️
God bless you and your beautiful family. Your in my prayers from London in the UK
I had two friends that did immune therapy. I saw their decline so fast. From intense sickness to loss of balance, weakness to point of inability to walk it was horrible. Both passed with 1 to 6 months after taking immune therapy. I will not take immune therapy for my Cancer..side effects destroyed their little quality they had left. So I told Oncologist no immune therapy. Jenny you are so blessed to have Kyle. I am alone and overwhelmed w all the tests and appointments. Bless you all.
I wish I knew you back then, Jenny. I'm allergic to Sulfa. Bacterium made everything taste like poison. Especially anything with vinegar in it. You have been thru it so long and hard. I can't believe all the side effects from your treatments. That's why you're my hero!! The love you have for your family kept you with us. I love you and will miss your sweet face. I've been asking my son Steven to greet you when you leave this journey. You will be healed and happy!! Heaven is LOVE!! NO Pain, no heartache. That doesn't mean that we will forget you. Don't be scared. 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Rest in gentle peace, sweet girl.
I'm so sorry you weren't able to get the treatment Jenny. A year later and I'm so, so sorry but you fought a beautiful fight. You deserve your rest sweet one
Rest in Peace Jenny Apple. You're with the Angels now. ❤
Jenny you were so sweet and special and we will never forget you and your courageous fight against this awful evil disease. I wish you were still here with us so much. I can just imagine you with your baby Leo . Praying for your family 💔
young Jenny wanted to marry a firefighter.... looks like Jenny got to marry a Hero after all ♥️
Our beautiful Jenny i know you are a beautiful Angel Free of pain and sickness.
i keep watching ur videos, i never met u and I still can't believe your gone
I really miss Jenny. What an incredible amount of hell she went through 😢
Jenny and Kyle, I just need to say that you two are truly AMAZING!!!
Jenny, you're beautiful, inside and out. Kyle, you are what's consider a "true man". So many spouses walk out because they say, "I didn't sign up for this". It happens every day.
I'm in awe of the both of you.
You've been through "he!!" and back but you remain so strong.
Remember, God loves you and even though this is the toughest ride you've ever been on, He's with you ❤️
Some partners have an affair during cancer treatment. Or during life/death severe illness. Mine did. I had kidney failure, on dialysis, and was starting to get offers for a kidney transplant, in CA, and AZ. The first time, in 8.5 years. My BF at the time, was having an affair with his co-worker. The scary part is, he was a nice guy! Super kind and supportive. He would go to my appointments with me, and was fully present. But affairs are considered domestic abuse. I had to move out, and live with my mom, who has mental health problems. I also lost 80% of our friends, because no one would believe he chose to do that to me. "Switzerland Friends". Plus, I met most of our friends through him. But I am so grateful for the wonderful people who helped me!! I now surround myself with genuine good people!! I am watching this couple, and learning how partners, friends, and family Should support each other. Often it is painful to watch how love-ing and supportive Kyle is to Jenny, but this is how couples, friends and and family Should treat each other!

Keep up the fight Jenny. You are awesome! I share your stage 4 diagnosis but mine is breast cancer.
I take it one scan at a time (usually anxious for the week before and after) and I am grateful to be here.
I continue following you and sending prayers your way
The love between the two of you is so precious. Thank you for sharing this story with us. It truly takes a village to care for someone with cancer. We are here for you and love you dearly. 😘🙏🏻💕
He is a "stand up husband" and partner. All should be the same.
That good ideal l think maybe the love between the two of you is so precious
It does take a village...❤
Oh Jenny...I cannot believe you are gone!!! So not fair!!!!
SOOO unfair - i still can’t believe it
Such a beautiful powerful couple. I have always said I can not imagine what she/this family went thru. We miss you JA but you rest well also know that Kyle and your children will be ok. You did good Jenny, you did good 🫶💯💚
You inspire me. I was recently diagnosed with a very minor skin cancer. I freaked out a bit and right at the same time your video came up. I watched all you have been through and realized how much worse things could be and it shook me out of my little pity party.
Your journey has been incredible. You are beautiful with extra weight. Build your strength but don’t worry about the weight as long as you are healthy. Keep shinning your beautiful light. You never know when it will touch someone.
Prayers Diane you will be healed completely
I had the same thing happen to me. A minor skin cancer but found her channel, when I was going through everything! Love her positive attitude ❤️
I must have missed something because Jenny is slim.
The only time I recall thst she didn't like her appearance, was when she was on dexamethasone - but I thought the doctor weaned her off.
Maybe they put her back on it to reduce further inflammation.
RIP lovely Jenny 😢
The treatments cause swelling!!!
Praying for you all. I’ve been watching your videos for a few months. You are such a sweetheart Jenny. Also you and Kyle have such a wonderful relationship. Your kids are an adorable testament to their loving parents. I have children your age and I’m also an RN. I spent most of my career in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. It was such a privilege to care for these little miracles. I had to stop working in 2011 because of health issues. I still hope I can go back to work someday. I can’t imagine being so young and going through cancer. You have such a grace about it all. I always want to come through the TV and hug you. It’s okay to be angry,scared and frustrated with all you are enduring. I will continue to follow your journey and pray for you all.🙏❤️🙏
Beautifully said! Jenny is so young and has two little children. Life is so unfair! Why? Why? Why? I pray Jesus takes away this horrible disease. 🙏✝️❤
Well said ❤
Amen ! No one ever deserves cancer, and that reaction to the immunotherapy is just heartbreaking. Prayers are constantly being said. ❤🙏
Sadly Jenny passed away November 5 2023😢
You've been through so much. I'm going back and rewatching some I already watched. :( I think there's a lot of people watching the videos today that don't know or don't remember everything you have already done and have already been through. These treatments have been soo hard on you for such a long long time.
Dear Jenny rest in peace 😢 you were and are an angel and we were all lucky to have had you in this world. Even though we never met i will continue to pray for you and you're lovely family ❤
I cried throughout this video. I cannot believe the hell you went through and the horrible pain you experienced. Those blisters and red spots were everywhere. I just couldn't imagine this therapy could cause all this damage. You were so thin from not eating. You were such a warrior. This video has been a real eye opener for all of us. Dear God, please look after Jenny and bring her strength. Heal her from this horrible disease and make her well again. Amen.
I held back the tears and felt the lump in my throat. Jenny and too many young ppl like her are in the fight for their life. I am going to agree with you in prayer
Yes Jenny passed away November 5 2023 😢
My brother who is 80yrs old is undergoing immunotherapy currently for bladder cancer. Well, he did it for 6 weeks but latest scope showed cancer in his ureter and kidney, so I don’t know what is next for him.
I feel blessed by all of your vlogs. Your calm, honest, realistic approach to your cancer journey inspires me daily.
Praying a rosary for you everyday. Keep the faith.🙏🏻🙏🏻
I have been watching your recent videos and found this today from a year ago. This was absolutely horrific. I can’t imagine how you came through this smiling and with nothing but gratitude and positivity! Just shows what truly remarkable people you and Kyle are. When I was on chemo (which was awful but was nothing remotely like your experience), I would have been so thankful for someone sharing their journey. I remember how scary everything was and I wondered if these feelings and symptoms were “normal”. That was 17 years ago and there was no TH-cam so I admire you and Kyle for sharing, even if it is painful to relive those terrible times. I’m positive there are so many people out there who are benefitting from these videos. So thankful you have Kyle by your side. He is a true hero. It is now September 2023, and you all are still fighting every day. I pray every day for a miracle for you and your family.
Jenny you are so brave l couldn't imagine the pain you was going through, Kyle is amazing husband you have beautiful children and fantastic parents sending you so much love from UK ♥️♥️♥️🌹🙏
Omg cant even begin to imagine how hard it must have been to be away for so long 😢 honestly you are a True Warrior, Kyle you are an absolute treasure❤ 38:46
All that gratitude can move mountains, can separate self from the difficult parts, and she really had it for all. The two are just so admirable. Truly meant to be in this together, hard as it was, they both faced it head on to keep one another going, propped up. Sick as she was, she remained beautiful. Grateful you had one another and your parents siblings to assist. God bless them all. Truly Inspirational then, now, and far beyond. 🙏💖💫
Wow this so shocked me as a retired nurse I had no idea this could happen . I had only heard about good reactions to this treatment . As a cancer survivor myself I do understand the horrors of chemo and radiation. Prayers for you and your family 🙏❤️
Imuran tried to kill me. Absolutely horrifying.
Same here. Only positives. The negative is just horrifying.
Immunotherapy causes the body to turn on itself, sometimes destroying the pituitary, adrenals, thyroid, etc.
Almost lost my husband to immunotherapy. Eight weeks in ICU! So scary.
Family friend was on Duv...ab, same as Jenny. He had to quit as well. Nasty stuff for a lot of people.
Watching this makes me cry and can’t possibly imagine how you felt or both of you coped. Thank god you had great staff that makes such a difference I’m a nurse and I know that’s not always the case sending love from the U.K. xxxx
Very strong woman she was!🙏🏽🙏🏽🩷🩷
You have been through the wringer... Now you can just get better... 🙏ing for a complete healing for you Jenny. Stay as positive as you can. You have an amazing husband and family... You got this... 💜💜⚘️
Watching all your videos. Rest in peace Jenny
Seeing this video makes me realise how unwell Jenny is right now. Even the speed of her speech is so much faster. Oh Jenny god bless you.
Yes, we saw her approaching the end. Sadly, it will be any day now
I went to mass today and prayed for you all. Love from Australia @@cynthiaholland13
It's beyond heartbreaking😢 RIP dear Jenny❤❤❤
I have rewatched this video. Jenny you were an Angel before you left this world. How did you endure all of this. I wonder. why oh why, you could not be saved. Kyle you are an Angel too. The love and care you brought to Jenny is mind blowing. I have to close out and thank you for sharing this journey. Hopefully. all Jenny endured will benefit someone on their cancer journey.
Wow! What a roller coaster you and your family have been on through this immuno-therapy. There are times in my cancer journey that I feel like I can't continue the fight that started Spring 2022. All I have to do is watch your vlog, assess your journey and I realize my challenges are a walk in the park Jenny. Having your loving husband Kyle to help both physically and emotional is such a blessing. I will continue to be one of your Prayer Warriors. Please take care of each other and stay strong.
💕 Momma Tessa
Having a supportive caring husband makes all the diffence!! I couldn't have made it through my cancer journey without my husband, he absolutely took the greatest care of me, I'm not saying family and friends weren't important, because they were, but your husband is Great and I'm so glad he is there for you!!
Dear Jenny: You sure went through the fire with that immunotherapy, yet you can smile and talk about it. You are a very strong young lady with a very strong and kind husband. Thank you for sharing your story with us. I pray that our beloved Father will send His healing to your body and send great health and happiness to you and your family. I am proud of you and admire your strength and resilience. Bless you.
Sweet people, I’m so sorry that you are going through such a painful and difficult time. I am praying for you all. God bless you. 🙏💙💗
My mother went through the exact same reaction to the immunotherapy, and they also told her that no more than 2% of patients had a bad reaction... and unfortunately she was part of that 2%... Im so glad to see you are doing better from the immunotherapy reaction. My poor Mother never fully recovered from the side effects. Praying for a speedy recovery Jenmy
You are a strong amazing person! ❤🥰
I’m so sorry for your mom to have gone through this horrible disease. God bless her🌻
I’m so sorry your mother had to go though this. Sending hugs and prayers ❤️🙏
Wow. People don’t even realize what your spouse goes through when you are on this type of journey.
I am on a similar journey and my husband is experiencing so many of the things you discuss in this video.
We have a few friends who support us with rides to appointments but people don’t realize how hard it is for spouses to have to cook and clean and care for a loved one while trying to handle it ALL.
HUGS TO YOU AND YOUR SWEET FAMILY ❤
Hugs to you too 🙏
You poor guy's have been through hell so glad you have a great family and support team.
What you have been through takes my breath away; your resilience, strength (mentally, emotionally, and physically), and thankfulness for the smallest things and everyone is beyond touching. You guys make the BEST team--so cute, so genuine, so loving!!! I also loved seeing your dogs when you came home--heartwarming!! Thank you for such an informative video!!!
I have been watching your channel for a little while but, went back through your videos to watch the ones I hadn’t seen . Your the most beautiful amazing and strongest women I have ever seen throughout your cancer journey. God bless you and your family much love and blessings from Texas .
What a wonderful and useful video, awww Jenny you were , and still ate, one of the most beautiful woman. So amazing how you shared what you went through and help so many people. You inspire strength , faith and hope. The memories you left Rock. You’re a 🌟
Kyle. You are also a warrior. You are such a strong man. Sweet Jenny cherished you, and we all hope you are well and taking care of yourself. Please know that you did EVERYTHING in the best and most perfect way. We love y'all, we love you, please take care of yourself.
You both never cease to amaze me! Not once have I ever heard a "poor me" statement... and you're always more concerned about others over how YOU are! Jenny you're so brave (I was crying so much!), and Kyle... you are an absolute gem!! I only started watching you when I went to bed because I thought I was just going to watch 5 minutes or so... for now. HA!!! Here I am still watching to the very end!! I love you both!! Can you please show a close-up of Kyle's tattoo?? I was trying to see it but I would love him to hold his arm sideways! Does it say Jenny? Well... until I see you again... sending big hugs from Maine! 💕🌷💕
Jenny I know where you are coming from I was on immunotherapy for two years , near the end of treatment my heals fell off they will never be cured I have to wear bells in my shoes my hands where so blistered even now two years later I can’t hold anything hot and my mouth never recovered , everything I have has to be Luke warm. Iv still got my lung cancer. But listening to you gives me more than you realise. You are an amazing lady. Susan UK.
Bless you ❤
Jenny fought 2 years 8 months lasting battle that was already lost. Her cancer was so aggressive that her poor body didn't tolerate or responded well to any treatment. It breaks my heart to watch this now, knowing the bitter end she met because you can visibly see she still had hope.
Jenny, I have to smile about your shower experience.
Mine was narrow and designed for a wheelchair with a curtain you couldn't close hooked up to everything.
I had to manage most of it on my own and flooded. The second time, maintenance asked if I was ever scheduled to go across the hall while I sat there in tears. They actually had a massive room with a shower and nurse to situate you and leave so I could shower.
They asked the charge nurse to schedule. My dignity was returned.
I'm sorry you experienced this as you probably are too.
Here, they are looking at the treatment given before and the timeline before the therapy to see if there is a correlation. Even the blood type is being looked at.
My daughter had a similar experience and it stayed with her to a point to this day.
You made the right choice to try and for you, the right choice to stop.
You are so fortunate to have such a supportive family network.
Thank you for sharing.
Rip Jenny… Thank you so much for sharing your experience. It is very important for others going through similar journey. 🙏🏽❤️
So glad to see you had Kyle and your family beside you in this difficult experience.
What this wonderful girl went through to live is incredulous. I so wish you had made it Jenny. You went through the mill sweet girl and you didn’t deserve any of it.
I am so sorry being watching your videos.. and now you are at the end of the earth journey , you are a fighter indeed. Prayers for you
Praying for peace and recovery Jen! 😢. Dear God why do people go through so much suffering?
So sorry you are going through this! You are both so lovable. 🙏💜
Jenny went through so much. I feel so sad that she’s gone. I picked up a penny I found today for Jenny 😢
what a great woman, i envy her mental strength, i am very grateful to her and her husband for the dedication to show their story, i am sure she inspired many to have hope and fight, rest in piece beautiful soul, you are just preparing for your next journey
Such a warrior, a very graceful one at that. I’ve never been through something so complex and severe, your strength is admirable. Kyle is also pretty amazing, extremely supportive and caring everything you’d want in a partner.
Wishing you the best, you and your family are in my thoughts.
This the definition of a great husband, most men leave when the wife gets sick noy Kyle he is right there with his wife ❤
Not " most men" what a strange thing to say
You were so brave Jenny! Your story will help another young mothers going through the same thing you did. Now you are resting in peace, in the very presence of God till you reunite with your family again. ❤❤then it will be forever!!
The cc trwaymrns kill ans destroy. I was rnd dtage 4 did narural gwrson thrapy with eaw nutritio itcsaved my lifr helping the body to naturally heal itself
I think this beautiful soul, went through every terrible thing that can go with cancer ! However, she beat it ! As Kyle says, it did not beat her ! Continue in the bliss you deserve Sweet Angel……..🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
Hello, I am so inspired by your videos and look forward to seeing them as you post new ones. I was diagnosed with stage IIIA adenocarcinoma of the lung and lymph node in Feb 2019. I also have COPD so lungs are very weak. They gave me chemo treatments and the 6 weeks of daily radiation. I am 65 and trying to live on social security. Being divorced is not easy and I so admire your beautiful family. Your husband looks at you with such love in his eyes it’s so refreshing in this day and age. I recently saw your video on your bad reaction to immunotherapy. This therapy (Durvalumab) has completely ruined my life. I can’t go into specific details for the whole world to see but I had about 6 treatments and felt pain in my body… they stopped the therapy and put me on 80 mg prednisone per day for many months, long enough to gain 80 lbs, get moon face and hump back… ugg, I had to get off of those. I so hoped my pain would go away, well. 2 and a half years later the pain still plagues me every day. The steroids didn’t completely relieve the pain but cut it in half. A year later we tried the steroid avenue again for a short time but still no relief. They tell me that rather than attacking the cancer cells it’s attacking my healthy cells. I’ve seen several doctors who all say they have never heard of the kind of side effects that I have but one said it caused me to have “a sort of internal auto immune disease”. Thanks for listening, or reading, I didn’t know anyone had bad effects from this drug until I saw your video.. Thank you! Pam in Midwest USA
Wow. Just wow. You are incredible, Jenny. You too, Kyle. So inspiring! You can get through anything with the help of our Lord and Savior. He is with you every step of the way. May God bless you and your lovely family. I will continue to pray
wow, this video is amazing. Jenny was trying to explain cancer treatment and when she mentioned immunotherapy I was wondering myself... why? And in that very moment, Kyle stopped her and clarified my doubts. Very clear explanation, even for people who do not have much info about cancer treatment. Kyle, you have amazing comms skills, very thoughtful when you speak, calm, making things looks simple, even if they are not. You are amazing human being and you are great to anticipate the needs of Jenny and the people around you, even viewers. You really deserve a price. Jenny as well was very smart into pointing out that her story is a rare case, a bad reaction to immunotherapy to not scare anyone who was about to take it. WE LOVE YOU.
Much appreciated video! Lots of people assume that immunotherapy is "easier than chemo." I remember many telling me this when I was on it, and have known many patients who imagine that it is going to be a walk in the park compared to that charged word, “chemo.”
For some, it does work very well, and may give minimal side effects. For others, though, it is as tough as the most daunting chemo. You seem to have won the trophy for most miserable immunotherapy side effects. Holy Moly. Our bodies are exquisite and delicate machines, and I am so sorry that yours was being so hurt by what was put in it. I am glad that this is a “getting it told” video of something that happened long ago, and that its misery is a memory for your body (not always true for the mind). Yay.
My first cancer (bladder, stage III) was treated with surgery followed by immunotherapy. All immunotherapies are different, and this one for the bladder cancer, "BCG" is, WEIRDLY, the live TB virus, put directly into the bladder.
After they administered it (catheter -- ehhhh, not that bad) I would turn, side, stomach, back, side, every 15 minutes (or was it 30?) to expose all parts of the bladder. It was no fun, causing all sorts of symptoms, but it was do-able, and I got through.
I think that one of the quite notable things about this, is that my uncle, who lived in Australia, was fighting the exact same cancer. When HE did the BCG treatments, he was put in hospital and kept until his urine was TB-free, sometimes several days, as it was (of course) considered a public health hazard!
Here in the good old USA, all they told me was, “Go directly home and stay there two days, and every time you pee, sanitize the seat, and follow that with bleach poured into the toilet. Let the bleach sit for an hour and then flush.
I was a walking TB contaminant! A few times I had to go to the store, but I was in and out, and did not use the rest room. How many people out in public, I wondered, might be using a restroom and leaving live TB around!? Not that many, I’m sure, but ewwww just the same.
I have wondered how on earth this treatment was discovered, and imagined a bunch of doctors partying hard and being “Jack Ass” stupid. “Hey man, who’s down?Let’s shoot some live tuberculosis virus up our wee-wees and see what happens! Got a baster? Com‘ on! Drop ‘em! Hey, Jones! Grab the TB out of the freezer!” Yes, my mind goes to many places...many of them silly and or strange. Incurable weirdness.
I write the following in the case that it might be helpful to someone:
Oxy-co-done w/apap (apap being acetominaphen / Tylenol, anti-inflammatory, fever reducer), referred to frequently as Vicodin is a super common go-to for pain, and works very well, but as with you, sadly, it does.not.work.at.all for others, or makes them feel strange in an unpleasant way.
I had always understood that oxycontin was stronger than the oxycodone, but they are the same medicine, the simple difference being that oxycontin is a delayed-release medicine, while oxycodone is more immediate and tends to not last as long, and contains Tylenol. Perhaps their functioning makes one seem stronger than the other, even at the same dose. It felt like that to me when I was prescribed oxycontin.
Regarding morphine, it's another great pain reliever, but again, not tolerated by many.
Interestingly, some who cannot tolerate morphine do tolerate its synthetic version, hydromorphone (Dilaudid), which is a common go-to in hospitals. Worth remembering, it’s another excellent pain reliever.
Fentanyl is another big hitter, and when used as it should be, it's a great relief.
Of course there are a zillion other medicines out there.
So glad that you discovered what pain relief worked / works for you.
Oh, how we become familiar with these, and all sorts of things as we trek through our experiences! You are now helping others facing this, or similar challenges. It is good, overall, for people to know how severe these things can be. We walk around in the world so protected from the loads of suffering that is right under our noses. Exposure to it, I believe, builds better perspectives and more compassion with which to behold general everyday life.
Once more, I go on! Haha.
Well, time to pull myself from the keyboard and start to come down a bit. I will probably watch livestream of the Queen’s funeral, which means it starts for us here in CA, at 2:45am, haha. Whatever. I slept until 4:00pm today and may do it tomorrow, too! To the devil with responsible sleep hours!
May you already be soundly and cozily asleep. Don’t know about you down there, but up here we have had a very full day of wonderful, beautiful rain! Hope it continues. Garden, trees, forest...everything is happy.
Sending a ton of love. ~ joana
PS You have created such a beautiful family.
All of this is correct but Vicodin is Hydrocodone not Oxycodone.
Write a book.😊
Wow girl! Thank you for explaining this to us. I learned so much. You are a trooper. Blessings to you!
Y'all are the cutest most loving couple. Watching now. Thanks for sharing and helping others along the way. Hugs. Happy Sunday.
You are such a strong, amazing woman, Jenny! Kyle, you are so good to your lovely wife, you truly honor your wedding vows. I love your family and pray for you numerous times daily. ❤
Thank you both so much for sharing the details of this ordeal. I wish most people would be this open so that we can know what we may or may not experience.
I start imfinzi this November. I too have lung cancer and stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. I hope I do well. I miss Jenny and her bright, sunshiny personality. I know Kyle and the kids really miss her. Her loss brings tears to my eyes.
Sending you all good wishes, I hope you are doing well.
You are my hero! I think with all the things starting with being hit by a car when I was 18 to the next decades of one surgery after another, then diagnosed with systemic lupus when my 3 sons were young and it destroying my pancreas and chronic pain, but everything I’ve gone thru for the past 44 years pales to all you’ve been through! I know with how close you’ve come to the immunotherapy almost taking your life, but you made it through, that God wants you here to see your kids graduate from high school and dance at their weddings! I have faith He will cure you as he can and has performed many miracles! I’m praying for you and your entire family to get thru your cancer journey. 💗💐🙏🏼
Tears here, looking at the photos. No anesthetic for the tissue samples. Pain meds having no effect. The far away look in your eyes, looking right through the camera in your hospital bed, tells me you weren't there - a coping mechanism. I join others who are in awe of your resilience watching your videos, but for this video, I am only compelled to say...you poor muffin. Poor baby. ..You've been through so much. My heart is with you.
You have so much love around you and within you. God is Good
You’re in my nightly prayers Jenny 😇🌈❣️keep fighting ❤
I mentioned here several months ago that my FIL had just gotten diagnosed with lung cancer at the age of 80. He's on immunotherapy, no chemo,and so far it's shrunken the tumor and there has been no spread. Sorry you had such a bad reaction.
Hi Jenny, I've been watching for a while now but missed this one. What a horrible horrible time you must have had here after the immunotherapy. How awful. This might sound weird in a way but no matter what you seem to be going through, you still seem to real and strong and even beautiful. It's just so bizarre that cancer can attack the healthiest people. I just read an article about it being in our genes. God Bless you and Kyle and your beautiful children. I think it's really good that you are documenting this, especially for your children. It's also so personal and can help other people going through the same thing. Lots of love and hugs from Ontario, Canada
Jenny the bad news the cancer did spread the good news you our still here I also have heart and lung disease I was diagnosed with it 7 years ago and I will not let this control me I live day to day some days our better then others you have an amazing family amazing husband you our a fighter keep going girl all my prayers
I have been diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer, I did chemo and radiation and finished it , it wasn’t easy and now they want me to do the exact immunotherapy that you have done. I’m like you because I don’t like medication and I’m plant based and try to do everything natural. I didn’t want to do chemo or radiation but I did it because my daughter and wife wanted me to do it. The side effects were terrible from the chemo, soars in mouth, headache, fatigue, neuropathy, dizziness, vertigo, ringing in my ears, hearing loss, nausea are just some of the side effects I had that I can remember. Now I’m terrified about doing the immunotherapy because of the side effects and body has been through enough and don’t want to put it through more trauma. I salute you and your husband for going through this, you’re a strong couple and I am praying for you both for a strong recovery and long life together. Thank you for putting your experience on here it is really helpful and informative. I wish you the best!!!
Hi.... lung cancer stage IIIB and I did the chemo and radiation - now supposed to do the Imfinzi. Did you do it? I don't want to but without it my cancer will spread.
@@kathleenmcbride1471 sorry to hear your going thru this unfortunate situation, I’ll keep you in my prayers. Congratulations on finishing your chemo and radiation I know that was tuff. I was done after that, meaning I was tired of being stuck with needles and didn’t want to put anything else in my body. My doctor urged and pushed me to do the immunotherapy but I said no. It was hard enough of just going against my personal beliefs and doing the chemotherapy and radiation and I didn’t want to do that. The only reason I did is because my wife and my daughter was pushing me to do it and my dad told me to think of them not just myself but I was like but I’m the one going through it. So I did it but if I could do it over I would not do it again. I believe in natural healing from herbs and eating right, holistic healing and practices. I believe the body can heal itself if you give it what it needs. Fruits, vegetables, nuts, plant base foods, superfoods, exercise, yoga, natural spring water., and the right supplements keep the body on an alkaline diet. When you get a chance look up yakia awakening on TH-cam and check out what he is doing for people. So if I had to do it again, I wouldn’t I didn’t have no problems or issues until I did the chemo and radiation and still deal with the side effects today , but I’m treating those symptoms naturally. I had no pain, no cough, it wasn’t in my blood, I felt fine except for the fact of my doctor telling me I had cancer which I never believed it still to this day. So after I finished chemo and radiation I was done they said the cancer was gone but I should do immunotherapy because it could come back and spread but they couldn’t give me no guarantees about anything. They said that the immunotherapy may kill any cancer that they could not see and might stop it from spreading if it did come back. No of that made sense to me and I’m a person that doesn’t let doctors scare me into something or just listen to what they say and take it as law, I do my own research and make my own decisions because this is my body and I’m the one who has to go through it. So I told him no I’m done and I’ll just do my check ups and do my natural/ holistic treatment for myself and I’m still cancer free, my last chemotherapy and radiation was in October, and my last check up was early this month. A few thinks that helped me is Apricot kernels, black seed oil pills, soursop tea, sea moss, herbs like cumin, turmeric, ginger, I also took RAPID IMMUNE RECOVERY from shiaqgaessentials.com/product/rapid-immune-recovery-membership/ , I also take this THC CALLED SIP i get from dispensery to help me eat because I lost weight went from 155 to 135 during chemo and radiation and now I’m 173 pounds in the gym, yoga, and active again and I took all of this while going through chemo and radiation. I found the SIP after I lost weight. So no I’m no doctor but I believe these are some of the things that worked for me. So do your research and make your own decision it’s your body. I believe everything is reversible and staying positive helps as well and it took time for you to get sick so it will take time for you to get better ❤️🩹 just gotta stay consistent. I really hope this helps because doctors don’t know your body or what you are feeling better than you know your body that’s why they always say well let’s try this to see if it helps and now your stuck on som medication that’s causing more issues when you could have been patient and healed it naturally but changing your lifestyle and eating habits…I’m praying for you and hope all is well with your family…much love to you…
I am so sorry you are going through this!! I think it is a miracle you survived that rash reaction!!
What an excrutiating experience! I’m so very sorry you had to go through that! Thank you for sharing this with us. It must have taken so much courage and strength to get through that, let alone relive such a traumatic ordeal! You got this, Jenny. You rock too, Kyle!
I’m taking that medicine for my immunotherapy I’m so sorry for your major severe problems. I’m so glad you are putting this video out now and not before I started taking this medication Glad you are doing so much better. So sorry you had to go through all that.
Jenn Your one of the strongest people I've ever seen. I couldn't imagine dealing with all the pain you have been through. I pray for you to have as much comfort as possible. You're definitely so blessed to have the wonderful family you have.
How scary for you. I'm so glad you went to the hospital when you did. Its psychologically so scary having cancer in one's body and it attacking you but your own immune system. Love to you.
Sorry for all you have had to go Through & still going Through Ms. Jenny! Praying 🙏 God will completely Heal You of Cancer! You have such A Sweet Family that Love’s you soooo Much! We all 💖 you Ms. Jenny! Have A Blessed Day! 💖💕❤️❤️🙏😇🙏😇
Poor sweet Jenny. Such an absolutely beautiful woman. So strong it’s humbling to me. RIP my dear 😔
You are a warrior! Your positivity through this struggle is inspiring! My aunt fought Hodgkins Lymphoma for 12 years. She was tough as nails! She managed to stay upbeat & tried to look on the bright side. You remind me so much of her! Thank you for sharing this journey! ❤
