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.

Jenny, I literally got to the point where my doctors said 1 to 3 years. I started doing birthday cards for my son, I think I did 30 yrs worth. I was preparing and in April it will be 11 years and I am still here. So always keep that hope and belief. Never give up never give in. God will take your hand and walk you through many more years. I love you girl and I think everyday about you. During the times I think of you it is never with sadness. I always have a feeling of happiness and I feel your strength. Hugs
Such a lovely message.
Amen.....your lips to God's ears xxxxxx
Beautiful!!
THIS is inspiring for those, like Jenny, who are facing this particular circumstance.
So glad to hear you've proven your prognosis wrong! ❤️
Hi Jenny, I never come on to TH-cam to leave messages but I'm watching your video right now after your brain MRI and having had sedation. I wanted to come here to let you know... IT'S ALWAYS OKAY AND PREFERRED by medical professionals that you have total sudation vs. a sleeping med. It's safer for you and you actually wake up much faster than if you were to receive conscious sedation. You my friend are in my thoughts and prayers. YOU GOT THIS MOMMA!! YOU ARE A ROCK, YOU ARE BEAUITIFUL, YOU ARE STRONG, YOU ARE BRAVE... Hugs from Washington state.

Jenny I totally agree with everything Meghan has to say here.
You ARE normal. Over here in the UK I am pretty sure that most people are given a choice and they would all choose sedation.
@Boho Chic I had No idea this was true and thank you for posting. Perfectly said Megan and Boho. I should know it though because I am afraid of the iv more than anything so opted to not have sedation for an endoscopy and the dr. really fought me on it. In hindsight I can see why she'd prefer to have patients sedated, it was pretty brutal but think it was mostly because I didn't know what to expect.
Jenny if I could be put out for MRIs I would be very very happy. I have claustrophobia so bad, as do you, so I must be sure everything I can possibly do is done…..eye mask so I see nothing…head phones with music PLUS 3 mg of lorazepam so trust me darling, if this makes me weak, not normal, SO BE IT! I do not care what anyone thinks….pls Jenny if you can’t be put out again then make sure you have ample meds like lorazepam..eyes covered and music blaring. I do still have to say to myself Dianna just breath you will be fine. As for your friend that died…I’m so sorry…I believe you can still talk to him. Write him a letter. Whatever helps you get thru this time. Don’t be so hard on yourself sweetie….Pray and god will hold you thru it. your cancer is your journey so it may be different from others….that just makes you special ❤. You know when you are talking to us I actually answer you back like on the phone. God bless you and your whole family. You can do this….you ARE doing this. Stay strong but when you feel down and out we are all here waiting to hear from you….tell us all about it 🌷
Sweet sweet Jenny. I am a nurse and many people have anesthesia for procedures when they have medical conditions that give them great pain if they are in certain positions that are required for the test. There is no reason why you shouldn’t have that ever time you get an MRI. Feel my hugs! Peace and love
Being a retired MRI technologist I can say a comfortable and quiet patient is gold! Exam and anaesthesia time is the shortest and result is a happy patient and superior imaging! It is a win win for patient and staff. Praying for you and your family.
Exactly. Nothing more annoying that trying to do your job and the patient won’t shut up or keep still lol
Yes,,,I have to be sedated with meds for a MRI
The first time I had a major breakdown...I didn't realize I was claustrophobic till then.
In fact I was traumatized by it..
Not for me because anesthesia doesn’t work on me so my surgeries are a traumatizing shit show!
@@zhaviyah84😅
Jenny thank you for being so brave and sharing. You are still helping ❤😢❤🎉😅😊
Mri tech here- just know that MRI with sedation is more common than you can imagine. 1 in 4 of my daily patients need sedation. You are not "over the top" and it is necessary if you're in pain while laying flat. Most people just get it for anxiety or claustrophobia. You have a legitimate reason...physical pain! 💕
Anxiety & claustrophobia are legitimate reasons, too.
I think you meant she has physical reason versus an emotional one, as they are all valid
@@cynthiaholland13 And even anxiety can cause dangerous physical symptoms like increased heart rate and blood pressure
I have stage IV cancer in my bones and can so relate to your feelings! It is comforting knowing my feelings are validated and I am not alone. God bless you and your family. Sending healing hugs and prayers. ❤🌻❤️

Cynthia, I will pray for you❤
It’s ok to not be Positive Polly all the time…..we’re all human. It was a tough day, you’re tired. That’s when I go down that rabbit hole too. Be kind & gentle with yourself ❤️🙏
Well said😍👋😍
Oh so true!!
It's ok to feel the way you feel. You've been thru hell. Praying for you and your family 💕
Kyle is such a gem! Please allow yourself to feel all the feelings. Even the not so positive ones. Its a way to cleanse your soul and mind to make room for the good thoughts.
So true.
Dear Jenny. After watching this last video I felt so sad for you and all that you are going thru. You are right- it is not fair!! I've had 2 tragedies in my life and I was so mad at God! I couldn't get my head wrapped around about why he was putting me thru all of the pain! After that I read a wonderful book 'when bad things happen to good people' and that book saved my life. I just want you to know that its okay to have all those feelings that you are having right now and that I support you and care about you🙏(I've been watching your videos for a few months now and I love following the ups and downs of your journey)❤❤❤
@@philipbrodsky5461 there is NO ONE good BUT God! Pray, have faith. The battle is for a reason
We miss you Jenny!🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️
I do not have cancer, I do have severe anxiety and claustrophobia, what you did was totally necessary and within reason. The most important thing is that you are comfortable and feel safe and not be in pain. It's not over the top it's what makes you comfortable! Good call on your part!
May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make his face shine upon you, and be gracious to you. May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace. 🙏🙏 prayers for you and your precious family.❤️

I love how close you guys are and how Kyle knows just how to talk to you about what’s going on
Dear Jenny, hello from England…..I’m originally from California but married an English pilot and moved here 25 years ago from California. I watch your journey and think you have the heart of a lion. Please remember you have so many of us praying for you and hugging you from afar. You’re in my prayers every night and I’d love to help in any way I can if needed. I’m sending you a surprise from the U.K. When my only son was killed last year at university, my friend sent me the same thing and it gave me great comfort. I hope you like it! You’re so loved, just remember that when you’re having pain…..most of us here on your channel would take it from you if we could. You’re such a great wife and mother……keep fighting through. Julia
Hi Jenny! I know this is an older video, but I want to reassure you. I am a nurse, and seeing patients like you - that need extra help because of a nasty illness/disease - helps us to feel needed and like we can help you. We do not judge you. At least I don't, and nobody I know does. It's why most of us went into healthcare.
Kyle is so smart and intuitive. And Jenny, I know where you are coming from, as I have had cancer twice. I think you really hit the nail on the head when you spoke about your friend. You are grieving, for yourself and for your friend. Let the emotions come. It is healing. We all love you 🙏
I am so glad you were able to get sedated for your MRI. Years ago, I worked at a Children’s hospital in the radiology department sedating kiddos for procedures. There is NOTHING wrong with getting the care you need. BTW-I’m getting my first MRI of my liver and then my lymph nodes checked after being diagnosed with vertical melanoma. I did have a full body CT and the night before I had the strangest dreams. I dreamed of all the kiddos I took care of in the radiology department telling me “Nurse Amy, you’ll be ok. We are with you.” Know that we are all with you every step. Much love from Gensac, France.
That dream was absolutely beautiful. It brings tears to my eyes. Fight on. ❤️
Honestly Jenny, we all would be worried if you weren’t having a down moment. Give yourself grace. You have so much going on.
-lack of good rest
-pain meds
-cancer
-small kiddos
-sedation meds
-unknown status of cancer
-pain
-friend passed away
All of those things are a lot. It is completely understandable and valid as to why you are tired, scared and sad. I would be too. You’re doing a great job. We all hear you and you are safe to be overwhelmed and sad too. God bless!
Check Jenny, we're cheaper than a therapist. I just wish you could hear us talking back to you. My friend is on cancer medication and its wreaking havoc on her hormones. She cries over the smallest things now. Don't be afraid to cry and never apologize. Most of us have not walked in your shoes and cannot begin to imagine how your feeling. For me, I feel it would be like hanging off of a cliff and holding on for dear life. You'll get through this. You're a strong woman. We're all praying for you so I think God would have a hard time ignoring all of us.
I love this. " God would have a hard time ignoring all of us " 💜💜
So well said.
I have had 8 MRIS with in the last 3 years ugh 😩 I am a pro 😢 Jenny you’re so awesome you got this 🤗🥰 . Oh thats good jenny funny
No do everything you can to help. Whoops I forgot about how many you’ve had. I feel bad complaining. 🥰🤗♥️🙏
I have an MRI suit
Please do not feel at all embarrassed or a failure, etc. for getting the anesthesia. You have withstood so much, are so brave that whatever can help ease anything is a good thing. On another note - our pastor was given a cancer diagnosis of 6 months to live about 16 years ago and he is still here preaching! It's ok to be a real person with fears, ups and downs and emotions - if I ever find myself in a similar situation, I will have all that and more and seeing you with how you handle everything will help me get through it. Thank you.
@Maureen Smith Thank you so much!!!!!!
I’ve had MS for 20 yrs, MRIs are a part of my life. I go completely to sleep on every single one w/ anesthesia. I’m proud of you for having your exam! ❤
God bless you for all your struggles I’m sending 🙏🙏your way too
Today is Thursday, so your scan is over,, you are so strong, God is holding you tight, outcome will be good 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️
I was put to sleep for my MRI before brain tumour surgery . It was a piece of cake! Little bit of a sore throat after..but that's it ! I am so claustrophobic that I was more scared to be awake during the MRI than I was for 11 hour brain surgery . That sounds ridiculous, but its true. I was insanely blessed that my tumor, all though huge - was benign . Prayers to you 🙏🙏🙏🙏 you have no reason to apologize for anything. So much love to you ..♥️
Dear Jenny, please do not let fear rob you of today. Embrace your today no matter what that looks like, enjoy the times with your family and the little things in life. May they all bring you and your family joy!
It's ok to feel how you feel. You're human. No judgment...you do you girl. I admire your strength. You're in my prayers ❤️
Oh Jenny, please, please don't be so hard on yourself. Take whatever help you can to make this somewhat easier for you. WE LOVE YOU JENNY!!!!
You need an over the bed table like they have in hospitals. Put pillows on it and drape yourself over it so you can sleep. Make sure it has locking wheels. Get a medical bed so you can raise the head of the bed. Get Kyle a single bed and push them together. You will be much happier. The doctor can write a prescription so insurance will pay. Because the table adjusts height you can use it anywhere. You can get in and out of your bed or toss and turn without disturbing Kyle.
But please get that bed. It's not a step down. It's a comfort thing. And the kids will love "riding" it up and down!!
We, your viewers, see your strength and your beauty and your grace. We don't see weakness. We see courage and hope and bravery! 💞
Jenny I feel for you...I hurt with you. Please hang in there you have a beautiful family that loves you so much. I had brain surgery at 25 I'm now 53 I had a rough time like you many doctors many mri's many ct's many wrong medications. Please rest I was told I had a brain tumor but it turned out to be a hole in my artery causing seizures and vision loss and confusion. I'm all better from that now but am disabled from other health issues now. I was neg and my dad said be positive. My baby was 4 now 32 I have faith in you ànd am praying for you daily. I think of you everyday like I know you. Keep posting us so we always know how you are. I'm glad you are all feeling better. Bye for now Tracy
Hi Jenny! Please call a therapist. You don’t have to keep going to him/her if you don’t like them. You have to shop around but I think you will feel much better after you find someone you like and will help you. Love you … keep moving forward. ❤️❤️
Kyle you are so good at explaining things to Jenny, you’re so good at calming her and just understanding her feelings. You’ve got this Jenny. I’m praying for you 🙏🌸
Jenny, you need to stop with the negativity toward yourself. You are a unique individual. Living life with cancer is enough without adding all these unnecessary burdens on yourself: feeling guilty for feeling pain, needing pain medication, needing anesthesia, needing sleep/rest....
Do whatever you need to take care of yourself and stop feeling bad about it.
(All of this spoken in my mom voice)
What a great comment! Lol I sure hope she finds a therapist soon! Although people think it’s great that TH-cam is their release, it seems like she needs to talk to someone face to face besides Kyle. He understands the value of therapy, so he is doing his best but a professional can help her sort out times like these….please Jenny, find your therapist SOON! You put a lot on yourself and you already have a lot on your plate to add more
I totally agree. I feel a lot of negativity, (feeling sorry for herself, ).
@@kathyerb3134 what a gross comment. Imagine saying that to someone battling cancer. Do better.
100% perfect comment.
@@ButterflyMomma it's not a gross comment. It's a constructive comment.
Jenny, As a therapist, I rarely get to sit on the other side of the couch but I had a friend who was my
Touchstone! She was who I could be with as a needy person instead of the person who had strength and direction. She died on Feb 5th and I miss her greatly! She comes to me daily in a lot of ways and I smile! Whether it is bird, a painted rock left on a path at the park, or a beautiful song! She is still with me. I hope you find peace as you mourn your loss. Give yourself permission to be sad, angry and grief stricken because you deserve that, just don’t stay there too long! Life is what my friend fought five years of cancer for and in her honor, I want to enjoy it for her! You are so brave, you are so strong and like my friend, you are kicking cancer’s ass! Prayers and hugs to both you and Kyle!❣🙏🏻💕
Ohh Jenny, I wish I could just give you a big hug. You are such a brave, admirable, beautiful person. Your fight reminds me of my mother's own battle with cancer which she got when she was 36. You're such a great mum to your children and your husband is just so supportive. Here's hoping they will find a treatment for you soon. I do wonder whether the gene editing they did on a terminal leukemia patient in England a couple of months ago would work for your cancer. They basically edited her DNA to kill the cancer cells using healthy cells from a donor. She is now in remission. Will continue to follow your journey. Much love from New Zealand.
re-watching these beautiful souls 💖
loved watching the love you shared ❤️
I just want to say that it’s totally OK to say and feel like life has handed you a tough path. It’s not fair, it’s scary and it must make you so angry at times. You are being so brave… And that takes energy. Kyle is amazing your kids are wonderful and I absolutely love your dog! Lean on your beautiful family when you need to. I truly hope and pray that life gives you a miracle that you and Kyle are sitting on our porch with your grandchildren talking about the wonderful 50 years you’ve spent together.
Praying it is so!❤❤❤
Thank you kyle for sharing this with us 😊
I am a retired MRI Tech. I promise you, sedation is more common than most people think. When we involve anesthesia for deep sedation, we know there is good cause and we want our patients as comfortable as possible during the exam no matter how long or short the exam may be. Funny story…..I had a 97 year old ask me how it felt to be the most hated employee in the hospital 😂 I hadn’t thought of it, but, she was probably right. Stay strong and positive! You have what it takes. Prayers and God bless you and your beautiful family!
Omg ...sedation for a mri is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard of. Now a elderly person with Dementia and different issues is totally understandable. Young people who just need to grow up and be the adult they claim to be its ridiculous
Jenny I am a cancer survivor and I understand your fear and frustration. You are a very strong woman and I just want you to know you are in my prayers. I pray for a good report on your brain MRI and that God will heal you and your cancer to be entirely gone. By the way your children are beautiful and your husband is wonderful. You are truly blessed to have them! ❤🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Poor soul, RIP Jenny. 5/11/23
For any American, she passed on 11/5/2023
It’s normal to cry with relief. I’m glad it went so well and it’s over. ❤️
Kyle you are the definition of a real husband. For better or worse. Jenny you have a gem!! Not all husbands are like that. During my illness, my husband ran. God bless you. ox
I'm sorry that happened to you, Marcy. 💙
Dear sweet Jenny, I’m sorry you felt so self conscious while they were preparing you for your MRI. You really don’t need to feel bad. They give sedation to soooo many people who are having MRI’s and for less serious things. You are deserving of humane and compassionate treatment! Please remember that. They are there to HELP you ❤ I really hope they can figure out a way to make you more comfortable in your everyday life. Take care kind soul 🙏❤️ Always praying for you and your family.
poor Kyle he Looks so stressed he Loves you so much❤
You are such an inspiration, and a wonderful Mom!
My mom faced this. She was diagnosed at 29 and got a lot more questions and surprise because of her age, like you must be. Pain was a serious problem many times. It’s gratifying to hear that you actively pursue pain relief options and that you ask the hard questions. I think times were different ‘78-‘85 and treatments have come a long way. I’m rooting so hard for you.
Life is so not fair…I’m so sorry that this has happened to you.😔 you are such a bright light in spite of these troubles. Isaiah 41:10, 1 Peter 5:7, Matthew 11:28-30…Jeremiah 32:17…please read these to her Kyle. I’m praying for you all.🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Having an anesthesia for your tests is a positive thing. Sleeping pills could make you stay asleep for too long a time. I hope you find the perfect therapist soon and that it helps you. Kyle is a rock. What a blessing you have his support. God bless you.
Jenny, I'm sorry you had to do what you dislike so much! I'm glad you got through. I've been going through the loss of my adult son last year. Unfortunately I'm going through court and hostility from other people. It is traumatizing, but I have this index I wrote from a sermon on church. GOD IS NOT AGAINST ME, BUT HE's IN IT WITH ME, WORKING THROUGH ME, FIGHTING FOR ME! Prayers of friend have helped so much, & yesterday I got to see my little grandsons after 9 months!👏 Some days I felt hopeless, but then God reminded me otherwise. Jenny, you are not negative! You are experiencing real feelings of your condition! It's ok to cry and feel down. Then you'll feel more thankful later. I'm thinking about Kyle's hand movements of the 'roller coaster' that you are experiencing. You wouldn't be normal if you didn't feel it❤️🌺🌻
I’m so sorry you lost your son. My son is 38. We’ve lost many of his good friends to addiction. My son is an addict too. It’s really hard when you know something so tragic can happen at any time. Please take care of yourself! ❤❤❤❤✌🏻
Also, I’m thrilled for you being able to see your grandkids! ❤😊
Oh my gosh I wish I could've hugged you when you were crying. What a relief to know that test is over. Prayers to you. Sending positive thoughts and love ❤
Hi jenny and kyle, i'm a guy 34 Years old I live in a small village in southern Germany, i found you coincidentally on TH-cam. I'm very touched about your history of illness you have a great family and its not fair that you have to go through this, especially not as your situation as a young mom. Stay strong as your husband close to your sight togehter you can beat this. I wish you all the best. There is a small monastery in my village, there lives only 1 patro and 2 holy sisters at this place because there is nobody from the younger generations anymore who will do this ists also sad. This patro beat testicular cancer at the age of 80 and now he is 85.
I write a prayer for you and took it into that holy buildung.
You can feel bad sometimes you know. Your a human being not a robot. We are praying so hard for you and we know you CAN do it! xxxxx
Jenny you are strong brave nd beautiful. Keep fighting nd we are all rooting for you
You are in my prayers. May God bless you and your family. Thank you for sharing your family.
Jenny I had a panic attack in my first MRI too. It’s nothing to be ashamed of to need help . You are so loved by so many! ♥️ ☺️ I keep hearing you say you don’t know why you hurt so much when lying down. Have you asked your doctor his opinion on why? If it’s nerve damage from the biopsy as you said, can they do a nerve block or something? I don’t know. I’m no doctor. But what if it’s something they can fix? It sounds different than your regular pain. I know you don’t like to complain but does he understand how excruciating it is? I’m hoping this might be helpful. I continue to pray for you,Kyle, Winnie and Ellis. 🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️♥️
You are one of a kind Jenny. You're stronger than you think, but we know how strong you are... love you, Jenny girl.
Also before Anesthesia, they can have one start the anesthesia Prior to laying down. It can be started sitting up just like they do in an oral surgeons office. Ya fall asleep sitting up, then they can lay ya down
Jenny your worrying about things that haven’t happened and that robs you of the present. I’ve suffered anxiety it horrible it’s hard when your not feeling good to not worry but try thinking of all you’ve achieved so far your amazing . I hope things get better for you soon and remember we are all cheering you on ..remember this to will pass you got this ❤❤❤
Remember Jenny…you are making the way, for those behind you, to have a little less “embarrassing”, difficult, scary time. You are helping the physicians to learn how to care for their patients more compassionately, and efficiently, and with less trauma and pain. One day, one hour, one minute st a time. Set small goals for yourself. Something else that helps me is that when i was facing things like brain mri’s. Take them one at a time. Then, don’t allow yourself to think of or worry about the next one until (set a day/time). For example if my next one was a month away, i would tell myself i can only begin thinking about it at 10:00am morning of mri. That helps me not be absolutely miserable until the event causing anxiety. I also plan something fun after the procedure. (A favorite meal, a favorite hobby/activity, a favorite movie night. I sincerely hopes ghis helps you in some way
Sorry you had such pain when you woke up. You are very brave 💪. This is obviously the best way to do the MRIs for you. I wish you didn't have all that pain though it makes me sad. We love you Jenny ❤️❤️❤️. Prayers and more prayers 🙏🙏🙏. Don't feel bad for what you feel. Your feelings are your own feelings and it is your right to feel what you feel😢.
Prayers, prayers, prayers. God has you in the palm of His hands.
I only have to do it once a year but I have to get the full brain and spin MRI with contrast. It is so long, they take you out then bring you out to get the contrast only to take you back in for up to a half hour. I HATE it and I panic too. My tumors are non cancerous but they are on my brain and spinal cord, over 50 of them. Bless you! You are doing GREAT even if you have a bad moment. Keeping you in my heart and thoughts.
Bless you must be awful for you.
I never panicked in the MRI machine before my last one. I think it was because it was my neck, mid back, and lower back. The lower back had me all inside of the tube...then I panicked🥴 I squeezed the bulb and didn't freak but I couldn't calm my breathing down. I was embarrassed but I think it was how far into the tube I went & then my mind got the best of me. Jenny, they are not easy. I'm glad you were sedated. Take care sweet lady🌺
Jenny you are incredibly brave especially with everything you have been through. If you need some extra help at times, that's fine. I am praying for you all. 🙏
Jenny I know this comment is late.. but I grew up with cystic fibrosis and had to sleep like you did, with a stack of pillows in front of me to breathe.. and I was unable to lay flat. you weren’t alone. ✨💖😭
❤
Jen, I was crying for you. Dont ever be embarrassed for how you might need to do testing because you have cancer! Comfort is what matters and if you need sedation to be as comfortable during the MRI as you can so they can give the best possible and accurate results, then screw what anyone else thinks. I'm a nurse and I have had lots of patients that needed special extra care for treatments. Anxiety meds plus pain meds for some are enough but other people need extra stronger doses of those meds or they need sedation and that's okay, there is no rules, no right or wrong way to get this testing done. When I have MRI's it physically hurts so bad. For me laying flat causes my pain levels to make getting off the MRI table almost impossible. I love your positive mind, the love you have for life, the love you have for your family and the deep love between you and Hubby. One day, 1 hour, 1 minutes, 1 second at a time.
100% don’t ever apologize for feeling your feelings. It’s a good thing.
Jen, you need what you need. Do not feel it is unnecessary or dumb to ask to be made more comfortable. The staff in the hospital want you to be as comfortable as possible and will work to make it so. Never hesitate to ask for what you want!
Jen, this is something The Unexpected Gypsy said, " Shine when you can. Cocoon when you need." To me that means we all have days we feel week mentality, physically and emotional. When we get that way we need to give ourselves a break and know it is okay to do. We understand what you are going through. I know if I had to go through what you are battling, just know, I think you are brave. Prayers always.
Sometimes life is just unfair and super sucks. I just love following your cute family, and what an amazing
husband you have! ❤
Just stopping by the channel to see if you have updated. Myself, my husband and our two daughters are praying for you daily and my church prayed for your family this morning.
I cry right along with you. I am glad you cried and let it all out because it reminds me of how real this is and how precious you are and how much we are all on your side.
Luck Jen. Prayers for you. Thinking of you. ❤❤❤ love those crocs. I’m a croc lover of many years. So comfy. Oh Jen. Big hugs for you. It’s such a lot to deal with so young. You’re so brave. I feel for you so much. Poor love. ❤ you can do this Jen. Really. You can.
It took me many years to realize that after I receive anesthesia or sedation I go through a period of depression. I don’t know why, but I always do and knowing about it doesn’t allow me to avoid the depression, it just lets me understand why I am going through it. Furthermore, since the depression is chemically induced one doesn’t even need a reason to be depressed. In your case, With all the various fears involved, it just adds to it. Sorry you have to go through it, too.
Yeah it’s very common for sedating medications/anaesthesia to cause low mood or make people more emotional or cause mood swings, totally normal! It happens to me too, definitely one of my least favourite side effects from medications lol.
Hugs and prayers talk talk talk we wanna listen.
Who would not feel as you do!!! This is so much to go thru. You are terribly brave. We are all cheering you on and adding prayers. Bless you.

The greatest gift in a family is Love-your family has a lot of Love-it’s beautiful to see, thank you for sharing!!!
Jenny, I have not read through all the comments but it is important for you to know that there are many people who have sedation for an MRI for many reasons most commonly claustrophobia. You are not alone 😘
Everyone says it, but just wanna say it too. Kyle is wonderful. The two of you are wonderful. Love like yours is wonderful 💜
It's okay to do scans the way you did today. It doesn't mean that you're at a different level or not able. Medical care is on an adjustable spectrum and you're doing the best you can in a difficult situation. Also every body is different. Some do well on chemo, some do well with other things. You are doing everything in your power to get the kind of care your body needs. Feel what you feel, but be kind to yourself.
Jenny, Fear Not!! Be kind to yourself. You are doing wonderful. You are so brave and beautiful. I think you are going to have a miracle. You deserve it. Hang in there sweetheart.❤❤❤
Jenny honey. Many people would love to be sedated for an MRI. Myself included. Don't pick apart the process. It is done in your best interest. Nothing to be embarassed about. Embrace it. Take each day as it comes. Move on from each treatment and stay in this moment. I have had over 20 surgeries and scans and tests in the last 18 years. Anesthesia is a great thing. It is done for your safety and comfort. Let it go. Also, next time let them know that the anesthesia makes you nauseous. They will give you anti nausea meds for it. Makes a huge difference. You are doing so great! We can see how much better you look! Things are going in the right direction. Stay positive sweetie.
Jenny, it is far preferable that you are fully sedated than having a sleeping pill. When you are full of fear, there's a strong possibility that sleep meds won't work. I can relate to Kyle putting items in a safe space so they are easily found. I did that regularly but would forget where I put them. I found my solution by having just one safe place, in my kitchen. I allocated one drawer as "the drawer". The drawer currently has a glove, scissors, an earring, countless pens and several bills to be paid shortly. It has saved my sanity.
Kudos to you Jenny for getting thru this. Wish I could take your pain away. Tuff journey for you. Stay strong I know easier said then done. Kyle will take good care of you like he always does. What a dedicated husband. That's the way it should be you two love each other so much. Rest when you get home. Prayers for all of you.
Praying for your family and you 🙏❤️💙💛♥️
You all don't realise how strong and unbelievably amazing you are.
I pray you all don't have to keep going through this anymore.
I pray for a full cure.
Nothing is impossible.
Love to you all.
Truly inspirational family, God bless each one of you.
🥰🤗🤗🤗❤️💙❤️💙💙❤️❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙💙❤️❤️❤️
I wish I could give you and Kyle big hugs and comfort. I pray every single day for you
Jenny it is so amazing that you are so openly sharing your feelings. We all will, at some point, be experiencing similar emotions, fears in response to a traumatic diagnosis. You are very young to be going through this but what a high road you are taking and you are helping every single one of us as you share your journey in life.
I agree. I don't think Jenny knows what a treasure she is. Being vulnerable like this is helping, and will hope, so many people to cope with their treatment. It also helps others to understand better what their loved ones are going through. The same for Kyle. It's also a beautiful thing for their children to treasure.
You’re going to be fine ❤ I work in oncology and I’ve seen patients older with way worse diagnosis be cured , ur going to be perfectly fine Jenny ❤❤
Girl, I even have my dental work while sedated due to very bad anxiety so don't feel bad for having to use sedation for pain!! We have to do what we can however we can and with all what you're going through, you are quite entitled to ask for something that makes it so much easier for you! x
The anticipation anxiety is sometimes worse than the procedure. I pray you will have peace and good experiences in the future with scans!! Don't EVER feel self conscious. I'm a nurse BTW.
Was specifically praying for you! Still praying
Being comfortable is soo important! DO NOT be embarrassed cry and feel how ever you do NO shame. We are with you 100% !!❤❤
Your husband is the best! You can see how much he loves you! You are blessed!
Jenny, we all are praying so hard over here for your recovery ❤️🩹 love from Balgal beach Queensland Australia 🇦🇺🙏🙏🙏
Our 43 year old son has stage four cancer and the mental therapists have helped him so very much. I can't help him and he needs to say things that his Momma can't listen to. Please get that help. You have such a wonderful support system and a therapist would help make that even better. Hugs to you as you also travel his horrible road. We're in this together.
Jenny, you are such an inspiration please please give yourself some grace. The sedition is there because some people need it regardless of age or strength. There are no cookie cutter rules as to who needs it.. Each person is different.. DON"T let that lead you to places it wasn't meant to.... You WILL BEAT THIS!! I have zero doubt. God IS working on you... Keep trudging. Even if you don't always see it HE IS healing you!! XoXo ❤ You are in my multiple times a day prayers.
Hi Jenny I came across your videos and was hooked!! About a month ago I was diagnosed with epitheliod peritoneal mesothelioma cancer!! To be able to watch someone’s cancer journey right now for me is a blessing because I feel like even though we have different cancers the feelings of anxiety, nervousness, and worry are the same!! I’m still a little new to this diagnosis I have my app with a surgeon 3-16 to discuss surgery and chemo!! I am absolutely terrified!! It has been the longest 2 months of my life!! I am learning a lot from you and I appreciate you sharing your experience so so much!! I am praying for you daily as I am a woman of faith and I believe that miracles do happen and I am praying so hard for us both!! Watching your beautiful little girl and sons interaction with you makes me smile because I know right now even with my own children (4) every moment is precious!! I am so happy to see how much support you have with your hubby and family!! I am so grateful I have my husband with a great and very positive character as yours!! God bless you honey I will be thinking of you every day as I walk my journey of cancer to!! Good days and bad but those precious moments I will not take for granted!! Sorry this is so long god bless you “we got this” momma “we got this” sending many 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Feel all the feels my sweet Jenny. Like Kyle said, you are not the first person to take an MRI in that fashion. It’s CoH’s job to make you feel as comfortable as possible to get an accurate scan. They were always and still are so accommodating to my needs. I’m always praying for you. Thank you for sharing your concerns with us. We expect you to be around for a very long time! 😘💖🙏🏼
My 16 yr old daughter Muriel had Osteosarcoma (bone cancer). It spread to her lungs and then her brain. 5 years of lots of hospital visits. Reliving lots of things I had sort of forgotten. Sending prayers your way. It is a journey for the whole family. Had a 1 yr old and 4 yr old at the time when she was diagnosed. Hard to do it all. Glad you have a great hubby. Due to the pain, my daughter was put on methadone, which I was so against. It actually was very helpful with the pain and our daughter was able to live life more normally thanks to the methadone.
i hope she is ok 🙏🏻 - can’t imagine - bless you all 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
