I will not leave a reply on any comments about a telegram, these are spam comments. Thank you for the support on this video ❤️.
Dude you are fucking awesome that's all I wanna say excuse my language
You are brave and gorgeous, definition of an angel, may God give you absolute health so you could have school of kids with paradise eyes. When i was going through tough times these two videos made me be in peace with myself and everything else, perhaps it won't work for you but give it a try, youtube: “Fighting Faith - Firas Zahabi, Mohammed Hijab, Subboor Ahmad” and “Firas Zahabi Destroys Stephen Fry’s Complaining and Insulting God Argument (GOOD AND EVIL)”
if you ever pass from this it would be a sad reminder of how all of this (videos about cancer) was pointless, plastering you sickness for views and clicks is shameful, youre blessed to have what you have. im only 23 and i have about 5 years left, you dont see me showing the world my prosses
@@VegetableS0up7079 5 years..?
@TheMDoesGaming I can't tell if you are a troll or just a deeply inconsiderate and bitter human being. People process things differently, and Jess sharing her journey may be very cathartic for her, and helpful for anyone going through the same, regardless of the outcome.
As a women that went through infertility treatments for 10 years all I can think of is how brave and how positive you are being through this process. And to add that you have an extra weight of stress of having cancer. Jess, I have to tell you that you are so FREAKING AMAZING!! With this positivity and strength from the get go, there is no doubt you will beat this. Keep this up girl. However, please remember its ok to cry, scream and just feel like you don't have control. Its just you being normal and a badass warrior. YOU GOT THIS!!!!
How are you now re Fertility?
@@irenedavo3768 we stopped. It got to be a lot for me. We had 1 miscarriage and several fails. I’m now 47 and we decided to be furparents. We are ok with it. We have plenty of nieces and nephews around that we get to love on.
I agree totally with this comment. Jess and her mom are both war worthy warriors against this cancer.
100% agree
@@denisem1093 Thank you for answering the question and responding in such a positive way even though the outcome was not what you wanted. Your nieces and nephews are blessed to have you in their lives.
As a mother of three girls of my own , I am so proud of you. Life isn’t always fair and I applaud you for being an inspiration to others who might not have the support system that you are blessed to have. I have watched the pain in your mothers eyes as she continued to try to create content for her viewers, all the while remaining firm in her resolve to allow this to be your journey. I won’t lie…I wanted to know what was hurting her so much. I knew it had to be serious, because she has proven herself to be a very strong woman. To say apples don’t fall far from trees has proven to be an understatement. I pray that you are not only fully healed, but that your journey makes you stronger than ever. Your future children will have THE best mom. Of this I have no doubt.
💯❣❣❣
What a great post. I feel exactly the same! In my brain and heart, I knew what was wrong with Sandi. However.... I tried REALLY HARD to tell myself that theres no way that could be. So so difficult to watch Sandi and Mark go thru this. But with Jess being such a strong young woman..... that must make it a bit easier. Atleast I hope it does. How lucky they ALL ARE to have each other! They're truly an absolutely amazing family!!
@@COEXIST-ny4db totally agree
Amazing comment ❤
Couldn't have said it better, your whole family are amazing, will pray for you. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Donating 10 inches of your beautiful hair is emblematic of the kind of young woman you are:first of all, "kind" (compassionate like your mom) & pragmatic & conservation-minded (again, like your mom - let's find a use for that wool, instead of dumping it in the garbage). The Brocks show us what human beings can be: empathetic, loving, hard-working beautiful people! 💕💕
Yep, you are so right!! The Brocks are such a special family :)
You guys are so awesome about everything you do God bless you all in JESUS WONDERFUL NAME 🙏
As a type 1 diabetic I do agree that some needle sites on your body are more sensitive then others. You're so brave and you got this Jesse. We will be here cheering you and your family on during this journey and beyond!
Oh baby, you are my hero. A blessing to everyone who knows you.
Your hair is cute!
The connection between you and your mother is so strong, it melts my heart.
Jess and Sandi have an amazing bond. More mothers and daughters should be like them.
Exactly and Jess looks like mum too. Just beautiful 😍
I was diagnosed with cancer at 18, I'm 22 now and have been officially clear for 18 months. I am so glad you had time to freeze your eggs. it wasn't possible in my case and it is definitely something I think about.
Congrats on the 18 month! So happy for you. Every day is a win.
Alexandra Richardson Congratulations for you, you princess! God Bless! great that you give motivation to Jessica!!! perfect example!
Happy to know you survived the challenge! We are praying all else goes well for you .
Congratulations on 18 months clear.
Congratulations on kicking cancers arse.
As your Mum said it is great that you were willing to document this for others - so they know what it is involved. Kudos to you!!
She did it all with a smile on her face! Even on the days when you weren’t even feeling it! Jess you’re truly an inspiration well done! ❤
Jess, I am a male 76yo and a bowel cancer survivor. In remission for 5 years now.
I coped because of great family support.
My thoughts and good wishes are with you and your family at this difficult time.
Your courage in documenting this is both a joy to behold and awesome
You have my well wishes from Brisbane Australia. Just so you know that all over the world people are supporting you on your journey.
Amen, Jim! Family and friend support are the foundation for the great outcomes of anything in life. My dad died in 1999 from colon cancer. He had so many growths and tumors that the surgeon couldn't figure out which organ was which. They reason for the surgery was for an area that the colon ruptured. However, by the grace of God, he lived on for almost 3 months (which was a miracle). Family and friends helped me and mom through it.
May you be blessed with many wonderful years of life filled with love and joy! Warm hugs from Alabama ❤️
You’re amazing. So is your family. So glad you are a survivor 🙏🏼❤️
That’s the magic of the internet here.
I’m living in Germany, which is probably about as far as it can get and I wanna sent you a virtual hug and a heads up for your journey.
You’ve got this and as long as you keep up your mood and your laughter it’s gonna be ok in the end.
So happy for you! A support system is everything!
Jess, if you only knew how many of us are rooting for you.
Yes. This.
Yes.
Indeed!
She is a Strong Girl 💯🙂!
@@veni.natavi.vici. can I ask Jessica a question let her know
You are so brave and your mom is a champ. Both of you keeping it together when I can only imagine the thoughts and feelings on the inside. And the fact that you donated your hair, thinking of other patients while you could choose to think only about yourself makes you a Superwoman.
Jess, I am a retired RN, worked med/surg and oncology, you are my hero. I have seen young females and males doing similar fertility treatments due to their cancer diagnosis. You will forever be an inspiration to all future teens, young adults, and child bearing aged patients. God bless you and your family…..as well as your medical teams.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your wonderful family. You are all so strong. O.K. your mom is an old softy with her sheep but a very strong person. I love her and her sheep. I am an 83 year grandma in a convalesent(sp?) home and I love your mom and her sheep. They always put women with alzheimers(sp?) in with me so I can keep an eye on them and try to entertain them. I've had four in the last 2 1/2 years and they have all loved your sheep too. They all seem to really enjoy it when the sheep run from one end of the barn to the other and then turn around and run back. I'm so glad I found you when I was recovering from Covid, neck surgery and this new residence I now am in. You've shown me what a positive attitude can do Sandi and I thank you for that. I try to keep a positive attitude and pass it on to other "inmates" as I call us. Love and prayers to your whole family.
@@joanneschmude9339Sending you hugest hugs!
@JoAnne Schmude...as a former care giver in nursing facilities and the grandchild of an Alzheimer's patient I thank you for your help with keeping an eye on your roommates. I agree with you about the sheep and how strong these amazing women are. Sandy and Jess are showing the world the truth of what some people's journey is when fighting and surviving cancer and planning for the future. I am so proud of their bravery in being public and open with everyone.
@@joanneschmude9339 Madam, you are also such an inspiration. ❤️
@JoAnne , "€;•Inmates", that's interesting. That's what I refer to most of us residents at the "independent living facility for 55 and up" where I am an ( inmate ) of the medical industry. Witch has confiscated my driving privileges. They just keep running test after test on those expensive machines and it's been over 10 months since I nosedived into the carpet with a staph infection of all my internal organ.!! but I'm doing just fine now. After the maximum allowable time Medicare (7 days), will pay for a hospital say.!!!!! The one that can clear me just keeps making the test more difficult. I wonder what my plan F premium's going to be this year ? You should , you could qualify for the Pla-C, if you qualify for the C? No I've checked, I don't qualify.!! The land that I rent out for faster pastor pastor Pastor Come on talk to text Pasture. Just to annoy, their persistents , they won't answer my calls anymore. I've come to the conclusion that, that pile of dust that used to be my car in the underground parking facility can sit there and rot😢❗ I bought me an E-bike to get around, squ medical industry. Voiced my opinion with a few of the technicians but I can't with the doctor's or they will consider it a possibility of rug rage Rugrats yeah that's good, that's good talk to text Road Road. I can get 100 miles on a set of batteries with this baby by peddling. Not enough to get back to the town where I used to live and get my taxes done. Going to have to depend on the good old US male that's funny, United States Postal Service. Hope you found this humorous Jesse? Been praying for you and your family the whole time. I was micromanaging in my mind your injections. Been there done that, not fertility but been there done that, love and prayers🐶🙏 this confused my daughter-in-law. 👇🏼
👉🏻🌝👈🏻

Years from now, when you kids grow old enough to understand, I hope they will give you a extra hug, because you surely deserve it for the extra effort your putting in.
Respect for sharing the battle.
Such an amazing and brave young lady!! I'm really touched by how you say "we" are doing "our" fertility treatments. I think it speaks to the amount of support you are receiving from your mom. Bless you Jess and you continue to be in my prayers. #StayStrong
Dear Jess, My daughter was just diagnosed last March with ovarian cysts. The first doctors were not taking her seriously (probably because she is only 18 and she isn't good at advocating for herself yet). I stepped in and helped her because of your video! She recently saw an amazing specialist who is taking her to surgery next week! Thank you for sharing your story... It is probably saving lives... and you will probably never know that it was because of YOUR video! Prayers continue for you and your family.
Pro tip from someone who’s been on this journey, if you roll the vial on your open palm while the needle is in instead of shaking it doesn’t make bubbles and is easier to draw! I hope you never have to do it again but good info to tuck away. So proud of you Jesse you’re such a trooper ❤
You may have just given great pro tip to someone else that also needed it...Bless You
Jess you are a Warrior Child. Your mom is a Warrior by your side. Baby girl you surrounded by Warriors you don’t even know. You got this !!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
You are one strong and brave young woman. Love the connection you and your mom have. I’m close with my parents and that is such a special bond. You’ve got this girl. ❤❤. You can cry and be emotional all you want. We are here to support you through this journey.
Jess, you are a rock star. Most of us would have already fallen apart. Thanks for allowing us to be on this journey with you. I believe you will get through this just fine. This is just a speed bump in your life.
You ladies are BOTH so brave. I have three adult children. Two daughters. I’m sitting here crying with you. This is heart bending stuff. You are BOTH so BRAVE.
There's a lot of sacrificing when you're a parent and you're already sacrificing for them! You're a champ! Prayers to you and your family!
I had such mixed emotions watching this video, Jess - wanting both to support you by watching and yet feeling intrusive for seeing the emotion playing out before me. I am the mum of three young children and can't imagine going through what you are, nor watching my children go through what your mum is watching you go through. Beautiful inner strength was shining through both of you, through all the sadness, tiredness, uncertainty, hope and grit ❤
As a mother of five adult children I am so proud of you. You remind me of four of my five so much, (the fifth has a bit more struggles that it has taken time for him to find his feet) you are taking the pitfalls and real sucky stuff with stride. Thank you for sharing it our journey, you have a awesome support in your puppy, family and the teams who are working with you.
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
Aweee Jess….. we love you and are with you! Personally I am honored that you are allowing us to support you (and your family) through this.
Exactly.
I follow your Mom on Sheepishly Me and my heart goes out to both of you during this cancer journey. Take of yourself and I hope you did well on your finals.
It's easy to give shots to your animals but it's entirely different when it's your child. Having to even watch is difficult for any Mom. Having gone thru stage 3 cancer and beat it I know you can get thru all this Jess. I'm now working on year 14 being Cancer Free. Prayers being sent your way for you as you go thru all your procedures. ❤🇨🇦 🇺🇸❤😊
The strength and courage of your spirit is astounding! Especially for one so young. We are all here, Jess, cheering you on. Prayers and love! ❤
Jessica, I'd just like to let you know that I had one of my ovaries removed at 19. And part of the remaining one a few years later. My youngest child was conceived with 1/4 of an ovary. You've got this!
Im in awe. 😮
I’m so thrilled you were successful in conceiving after such significant intervention! Congratulations! (Total aside; my godmother/aunt’s name was Dolly. She left us years ago but every time I run across her name I can feel her arms around me in a huge hug.)
Amazing! The human body is incredible
Jess, you and your family continue to be in my daily prayers. As a father of 5 and grandfather of 16, I cannot imagine the mental and physical challenges you and your family face. May God provide the courage to battle this disease.
The pen one reminds me of the one I use every day for diabetes. It's called Tresiba. You're awesome Jess. Praying for you and your family. ❤ Edited to add: You're so lucky to have your mom through this. I lost my mom while on my first cancer journey.😢
Jessica,
I Love You!! Thank You for doing these videos!!
I'm an 82 year old grandpa. My Bride and I had our own vigil as our oldest daughter battled a brain tumor during the COVID lockdowns. (Thankfully, it's currently in remission.)
I love watching Your mom and her sheep. You are people of the land, that's why God gave You an extra special strength. I know Your parents would gladly step in and take this for You, but alas, we all have to sit by and lift You in our continuous prayers as You journey, But Not Alone.
Grandpa.
I had both ovaries and Fallopian tubes removed exactly 48 hours ago. I had an 8 cm mass on my right ovary and a small started on the left. Luckily,as a post menopausal woman I didn't have to go through what you are. You have got this girl!! And if you need to cry,then cry.
Good luck to you
Even then, Jess didn't *need* to do this necessarily. She *chose* to because she wanted to at least have the *option* down the road to *maybe* have kids. It's not like she'd die without getting fertility treatments 🤷🏻♀️
Good luck 2u
Wishing you a speedy recovery ❤
I hope you feel better knowing the cysts are gone. I still have my left Ovary for hormone reasons, but 3 years ago I had a 15cm and right Ovary, tubes removed. As you know very painful after. I feel for Jess as like you I had my children already. Pray you heal and all goes well. We will be cheerleaders for Jess and family.
We Fans Jess are So Very Touched that you and your Family are allowing us to be with you all in such trying times. There are times when Words just can't convey what we all want to say and this is absolutely one of those times. Just know MANY are holding You and Your Parents and Jack in our Hearts Daily! Love and Prayers From COW-lumbus, Ohio MOO🥰🙏
So well said. All aboard for TEAM JESS! Sending hugs and prayers for you, Mom, Dad and Jack.♥🤗🙏
Jess, you are not being a baby! I did fertility treatments so I could donate eggs to a friend. Yrs ago when I did it, it was 1 shot in the arm until the last day, 2 in the butt. You are just braver than I was. And I LOVE your hair! You've got this!
Jess, dear, I love your positivity through all this. But you must know, we’re here for you on the days you’re mad at the world, they days you don’t feel like getting out of bed, and the days you feel emotionally exhausted. We’re here for those days too.
17:41 VERY BRAVE GIRL! Love you Jess. Thank you for sharing this leg of your journey with us. Sooooo many people are praying for you and sending tons of love and support. Glad you have your mom with you. I know that your dad and Jack are a big support too!
God bless you sweetie ❤️
On day 5. All have to say is you have EVERY right to cry and be emotional. Any of the days you have that right with everything you have been going through
You are though a strong young lady.
Getting 4 eggs to freeze is honestly amazing.
Dear Jess,
As I sit down to write this, my heart is filled with empathy and understanding for what you are going through. Cancer is a formidable foe, and one that I know all too well. From 21 until 23 as a young guy, just until very recently, I fought that foe, I found myself battling this insidious disease, and it was a fight that lasted for over two years.
During that time, I underwent countless rounds of ineffective chemotherapy, endured more than 13 surgeries, and faced more challenges than I ever thought possible. But through it all, I refused to give up. I fought with every fiber of my being, and I emerged victorious.
As I look back on that difficult chapter in my life, I am filled with a deep sense of gratitude for all of the love and support that I received along the way. And now, as I extend my digital hand out to you, I want you to know that you are not alone.
I have a tremendous amount of respect for you, Jess, and I know that you are a fighter too. Whatever the future holds, I believe that you will be able to overcome any obstacle that comes your way. And most importantly, I hope that you are able to find happiness and joy in the days ahead.
In closing, I want to remind you that you are loved, you are strong, and you are capable of achieving great things. Keep your head held high, and know that there is a community of people who are rooting for you every step of the way, at least I see this in the comments all around.
With love and admiration,
The new hairstyle is adorable! Love it 😍 You are strong, you are healthy, you are smart, you are beautiful and you are loved very much!
Our love and prayers go out to you sweet Jess and your dear family daily through this journey. As a registered nurse, a mom of daughters with fertility issues and a grandma I want to sincerely thank you for your transparency and your bravery in sharing this very personal medical journey. Hugs sweet Piper….. .
Every time I tell my daughter that it's ok to cry, we both cry and then laugh at ourselves. It's healthy and a way to get those emotions out. Sharing a good cry with mom/daughter is a team building exercise 😉
Your partnership with your mom is so inspiring and moving. Thanks for sharing your vulnerability. AND: I LOVE your haircut.
Thanks, Jess, for documenting your journey. I know it is hard on you and your family, but we are glad to come along with you. Keeping you all in prayer.
Your mom. What a good lady. As a mom, I can’t tell you how my stomach just hurts watching you have to do this, and it has to hurt worlds more for your mom. God bless you, Jess.
Jess you are braver than you will ever know. Sharing your cancer and fertility journey is going to help so many others. I love your positivity! Many prayers to you🙏🏼
Jess, Your retrieval was my husband’s bday. Lucky 13. Our prayers are with you through out your journey. 🙏
PS You have great taste, We have the same duvet on our bed 😊
I’m watching this again a year later, with new understanding. My 23 year old daughter was diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkin. she was diagnosed, saw the oncologist, got a port placed, then started chemo in 10 days time. We hope for a miracle in more ways than one. ❤
In South Africa there is a saying "you strike a woman, you strike a rock" which speaks about the strength of a woman...and you Jess are a mountain of strength 💪 ❤
Jess, you just went thru another form of childbirth. I think that you are a very brave young lady. You also have an amazing support system. Your awesome mom sat with you during all your shots. I will be praying for you.
My granddaughter went through this about 5 years ago. They extracted 16 eggs. Like you, she was a tough little lady and did it all herself. You’re going to be fine. Like your mom said, it is good that you’re documenting this to look back on later. My prayers for you and family.
What a treasure this will be for her future children to look back at...to see what their mom did to be able to have them!
What did you name your puppy?
Hugs and prayers for you!!
@@kathleenleeper9276 Puppy is named Piper.
Your sense of humor and bravery are so revealing of your true character. You are amazing!
It's a good thing that you have so many people to support you!!❤
You are living proof that one can cry and be brave at the same time. So impressed with you and your family!
Jess, your journey will definitely help someone else that might be about to go through the same as you… And you’ll be able to share everything with your children in the future, you’ll be able to let them know that you thought of them way before they were born… I can see you come from a line of strong worrier women, Send you and your family lots of love and blessings from Pennsylvania 🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼♥️
I cannot imagine what you must be feeling internally Jess. You and your mom are both incredibly strong. Sending light and prayers your way from Winnipeg, Canada.
The fact that you can smile in the face of such adversity is really inspiring. Thank you.
Jess is so strong. Id be crying with every needle and making my dad hold my hands while mum did it! You got this Jess!
Thank you for bringing us along on your journey. You are so strong! Allow yourself those emotional days. People need to cry just like pressure cookers need to steam. I think that Piper is a wonderful addition to your family and your mental health.
From someone who had a complete hysterectomy at the age of 27, I thank God every day he gave me my babies early in my life, though my parents weren't happy at first with my teen pregnancy, I was very bless with 3 of my own 2 step children and 1 adopted son later in my life. So good luck with the treatment and prayers for you and your family through it ALL!
❤ You've GOT this, Jess!
There are SO many people who love you and sweet little Piper who thinks you hung the moon -- we are all rooting for you! 🎉 Go, Jess, GO! ❤❤❤❤❤
Wow Jessica! You are a warrior. Despite how scary this is, you're carrying right on, you and your Mom. She's a warrior too - you definitely came by it honestly! You're both in my prayers every day. Sending healing light and love.
Such a smart move. I truly hope that you make a total recovery. Thank you letting all of us go on the journey with your family. My daughter had to give herself a shot everyday when she was pregnant because of previous blood clots. Wasn’t cancer but still scary.
I know that your new hair “style” was a difficult decision to make. You are so wise in choosing to cut it and that decision shows a level of maturity beyond your years. I like that you are taking control and trying to minimize emotional distress later on in your chemo treatment. And Jess, the hairstyle is perfect. You radiate the beauty of an angel. Hugs, love, and all the things!
Today might be your surgery. Continuing prayers for health & healing & for compassionate, competent health care team 🙏🙏 gentle virtual hugs for you & your loving family 💕💕💕💕
As a multi time surrogate I can tell you the injections are always intimidating, that first week of injections was always something I had to work my self up to. You did an excellent job of getting it done so much faster than most people
I thought she rocked the injections like a pro, too. As a nurse, it is hard to do the first one, yet it gets easier each time. It's tough trying to put the idea of stabbing yourself on purpose. Thank you for being a surrogate! Applause! Warm hugs from Alabama ❤️
What a hero you are to those you have helped!
I am so amazed by your spirit and your positive attitude! You have the best family and friends! What a support staff!! You got this lady! Hold your head high! You are loved!
As a Sandi follower for a few years I can attest to the crying😊 but I love it. She's human. And so are you. More people need to show the hard parts of life as well. You are awesome Jess. I love that you donated your hair. Way to be awesome.
Someday you'll be able to show your son/daughter how brave you were and the lengths you went to, to have them. Awesome young woman..
You shared something that most of us will never have to experience . Brave, brave, brave 😇😇😇💜
You'll look back on this journey somewhere down the line and say wow. Because you'll see just how strong you were when you needed to be ❤ Thank you for sharing it with us xx
As a momma to an 18 year old girl my heart aches for your momma! You two ladies are BEASTS! I had yo give myself 6 shots a day for 6 months in my tummy. Different reasons but I remember how hard it can be mentally to do it!
You are a beautiful soul and I am praying for a clean bill of health once this journey is over! Thank you for allowing us into your world! Love and Hugs from Oregon, USA!
You have so much support here on TH-cam. We are all with you ❤️
Was für eine wunderschöne tapfere junge Frau !!!!! 🫶🙏🙋🏻♀️Alles alles liebe für Dich und deine Familie 🙏
I’m so glad you have the opportunity to freeze eggs for your future! Now go and kick cancer’s @ss! Prayers to you all!
I love how your mom leaves the needle in the med bottle, keeps the needle sharp.. you got this Jess
Hugs to you and mom. And thank you for choosing to share your journey.
Hi Jess. I follow your mom on her Sheepishly Me channel and when she shared your cancer news I came over to watch your channel. I just want to say you're so brave and I know cancer is a scary diagnosis. But you're so positive and I think that helps, but feel free to cry. It's your journey but thank you for including us in it. You rocked those injections like a pro. I'm praying for you, your mom and the rest of your family. Btw I love your hair!! Hugs.
I was a gestational diabetic with my last kid, and now I have type 2. Needles all the time.
My secret was to NEVER THINK ABOUT IT. you place the needle, turn your brain off, and go!
I love that you need to control things by doing it yourself. It's nice to have options, but doing it yourself is awesome!
YOU GOT THIS. much love.
Jess, you are amazing. I cannot believe how much sunshine you exude even in the midst of these struggles. I saw how hard your Mom is struggling to watch you go through this and yet I can hardly believe what a truly loving, supportive relationship you two have and how beautiful that is. I wish you many decades of joy together! Keep holding each other up!
You've been handling this very admirably, Jess! Glad you have your family for support. You've got this!
Jess, I have to tell you that you are so FREAKING AMAZING!! With this positivity, Jess, you and your family continue to be in my daily prayers.
I am a nurse and I took giving injections for granted... until... I had to give myself 60 days a shot... I cried every time I had to shot myself. Once the needle was in it was a bit better.... but it hurts... and I was so scared. I never took it for granted anymore. It made me a better nurse. So yes my sweetie, you are brave. Plus the hormone swings... you are incredibly strong Jess. And you are doing great. ❤❤❤. Hang in there you are going to be okay... your positivity and your strength will give a lot of people courage... I am proud of you. 😊
For anyone else who has to go thru self-injections, it hurts less if you pinch more skin tighter, and shake the skin slightly before injection. Kind of think how a dentist pinches and shakes before giving lidocaine - it basically distracts the nerves for just long enough to lessen pain from a needle. (I have to inject myself every two weeks. It sucks, and I’m glad you’ve made it thru this part, Jess.)
Stay strong Jess all prayers for you. You will have beautiful health children in the future.
Girl! You have a million reasons to cry! You cry and lean on all of us and your sweet sweet mama all you need! We love you ❤
To see you giving yourself the needles amazes me. I am the mother of 5 daughters and it would scare me to death to have any of them do what you are doing. Science has changed your world so that you can reproduce later when you are clear of the cancer. You attitude is so good. I, for one are supporting you with prayers and good wishes. I am Canadian and in Ontario.
So proud of you Jess. You don’t have to be a champion all the time. ❤
Praying for a quick journey through your treatments. You’re a strong young woman and I’m sure you’re helping others.
Jess, I'm so impressed with how you are handling everything. You are so brave, strong, and positive. You also have an amazingly supportive family. Your mother is first class, she's a warrior, and a mama bear. I know that you know how lucky you are to have her in your corner. Jess, I'm sending you so much love and so many prayers.... For healing and strength. Also for your family as well. When one of you feels overwhelmed or weak, may you be lifted up by the love and support of each other. Blessings to you from Cleveland, Ohio 💜
Well said!
Hormones and a women's healthcare is honestly key to long-term mental and physical well-being. Unfortunately even in this day in age Canadian health-care is still behind on understanding and research in this field. I wish you the absolute best Jess and thank you for taking a very very personal and private matter of yours and vlogging it so that others around the world can also see its a true struggle, not just for older women but young women too. You and your family are brave. Wishing only positive vibes from New Brunswick Canada❤❤
I’m a big fan of finding the humor in the situation. Remember, The universe doesn’t give you more than you can handle. ❤ And you’re really lucky that you’ve got a mom that’s handy with inoculations. 😂 I’m glad she reassured us that “it’s not like she does it in the barn.” Thanks mom 😂
You are amazing! Your hair is soooo cute, and Piper is an amazing little support lovebug. Keeping only good thoughts and lots of prayers every single day.
Jess, I mentioned on your last video that you might really enjoy watching fellow Canadian YTers, Eamon and Beck. Beck went thru what you're doing now, just last year and documented her entire journey from finding out, fertility drugs, egg extraction, surgery, chemo, radiation, hair loss, wigs or no wigs, sickness, depression, exhaustion, doctors visits, and luckily, the coming out the other side and returning to their van life in Mexico.
It's such a great story and so inspiring. I keep thinking it will resonate with you because you have so much in common.
Good luck and stay strong. You've got this.
So cute how pipers paw is on Jess shoulder saying I'm here mommy. Love it
Hey Jessica, I am so PROUD of you!!! the injections are a pain, I know because I have given myself Insulin shots for over 20 years now and I know how much it hurts at times and I get very tired of doing the injection. There are days I just want to say " No, Not Today" But I can't. So right now, You are my Hero... Here I am at 64 and having a 20 year old as my Hero, Ain't that something. So with that said, I will continue to pray for a awesome outcome for you and beat this cancer. You got this. Keep smiling, it is a breath of fresh air. Bye
This is the hardest thing you will ever do. It is also the biggest gift that you can share this whole journey with your family. You're gonna rock this!
Jess, I admire your positive attitude and I really appreciate that you’re taking us along on your journey. I’m sending you and your mom emotional support, much love❤ and prayers for your rapid recovery🙏🏻
GOD BLESS YOU JESS!! STAY STRONG!!
Prayers. You're so brave!
You've got this Warrior!!
Praying for you!!
