I don't think you realize how beautiful your hair is. Stop trying to hide it and embrace it. When your husband tells you it's beautiful, it is definitely beautiful.
Girl I’ve had super curly hair all my life and I use to fight it. Now I just let it go curly and I get so many compliments on it. It’s so easy, wash, condition and go. Praying for you both always! God’s blessings and much love always 🙏♥️
So good to to hear everything you both had to say. Thank you for explaining how the depression effects you. The fact that your husband is in tune with this part of you is amazing and huge. His support is something I wish for but it takes someone very special to understand. Take care and I'd love to see your garden. Try some essential oils for your hair to hopefully tame it to your liking. I think you are cute!❤
You are so lucky to have your hair! I was first diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2000. After chemo, radiation and a mastectomy, my hair did not come back. I have been wearing wigs since then. So happy you are doing better😊
What would I like to see from you? I'd love to see your garden, and see whatever you'd like to share...your recipes...I'm just so glad to see you guys!
Brian is so respectful and attentive with you, besides a lot of other wonderful compliments I could add. God bless him. Still praying hard for you both, beautiful Jessica!
This man loves his wife. This is what love looks like. I'm old and, like most people, never had it myself. Only 5% of adults are even married so anyone who is loved and happily married is the exception.
Agreed! I grew up in the 60's when long straight hair was the thing, and spent years fighting my curly frizzy locks and trying to "control" it. Until I realized it could be a gift if I let it and learned to embrace it. I think as it gets longer the weight will relax some of the curl, but whatever. It may be different for you but it really is beautiful!
I feel that the main reason people tune in...no matter what you guys are doing...is because of the loving, tender, supportive love you share..its just really comforting and affirming to behold..especially in this topsy turvy world we live in..sharing time with you is so calming and sweet...the fact that you have faced and weathered this storm together..is a true testament of your love
Two-time cancer survivor here - cancer is definitely a life-changing event. There is the person (and loved ones) before, and then the person (and loved ones) after. It is an exclusive club we belong to, and those not in the club are unable to understand why we don’t just wrap things up and move on. I don’t think they are insensitive-they just have a different frame of reference. You will both find that cancer becomes integrated with the rest of your life. And in the process you will start to feel whole again. Congrats on the scans, on the garden, on the positive improvement from a new medication, and on the more relaxed demeanor emanating from you both!!!!
I would love to see more whole food plant based cooking videos, a garden tour, what you eat in a day, meal prep videos. I'm so glad that you're doing well!!
"Replaying the scenes" ...this hits so close to home. I recently got access to a portal of my medical records since I was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer last August. I made the mistake of reading through the doctors and nurses notes. I replayed those moments and the ones that I repressed. In the moment I felt incredibly overwhelmed and sad. My dad and I hugged for a few minutes and he reminded me that it was a record of all that I had overcome and that it was okay to grieve what had just happened to me. I think I'm beginning to truly understand the phrase "this too shall pass." The scars and memories are still so fresh. Let's be kind to ourselves. Hugging you both so tightly from afar.
Jessica! The hair! Adoreable! I’ve been a curly girl all my life. It’s indeed a mixed blessing. Welcome to the curly club! I’ll be turning 70 next month and have actually been at peace with it for more than a few decades now. My secret weapon for moisture and humidity is actually called Frizz Ease Secret Weapon! It’s a leave in conditioner in a purple tube by John Frieda. I put it in my hair when wet. Also sometimes as a finishing cream when the curls are a little more dry or crazy. It’s reasonably price at around $9 and is at most pharmacies, Walmart, target, etc…. Good luck on your coming life chapters. So happy for your success, post cancer. I’m also a cancer and chemo survivor from breast cancer. Keep on smiling! 🌺
This is such a unique and special channel. Since you asked what we would like to see from you next, I think it would be interesting to see what you two eat in a day, or even a week -- especially with how busy the two of you are right now. Two real-life people, with busy schedules, eating whole-foods, plant-based -- let us see how you make that work on a daily/weekly basis. 😃
Would love to see the garden, WFPB recipes, the dogs, and cute curly hair lady with Brian. But only when the time is right for the both of you. Miss you two. Thanks for sharing your healing journey. Jessica the way you react to all that has been thrown at you and Brian seems normal and relatable to me. Sending continued healing prayers❤❤❤
It is SO great to see how delighted Brian is with the current status (scan results, etc) and HOW MUCH HE JUST SIMPLY ADORES YOU, JESSICA❤❤❤❤❤ We're so thrilled for you both and grateful for the update💗
Can I just say, we are just so thankful you are sharing at all. Jessica, you have amazed me. You dealt with this like a CHAMPION. I cannot get over how healthy you look -- and it may well have been your plant based diet. But I thank the Lord you're alive and well. So much.
Menopause can cause depression, anxiety and memory or focus issues, without going through what you have had to deal with as well. Its what the drop in hormones does to us. You are doing so well Jessica. You are such an inspiration to us all. Big hugs from Australia 🇦🇺 🤗💕xo
I know!!It takes some serious work to get things balanced when there's not another issue. And I was the poster child for doing good and all. I did was mess up for a couple of years of major stress. Boom my life is a nightmare.
When you said that you have to live a different than people who haven't had this happen. I understand what your feeling. But here's another way that might work. You're back to start one. Live as if it never happened as much as possible. Don't hang on that next scan. Live your life as if nothing has happened if you can. It's a massive learning curve, Easier said than done. But right now you're just a person who's growing curly hair l o l. Please don't think of yourself as anything differand or a manifest something of is something other than you're well. It's the thought process in this dress that does the most damage I am convinced. Work in your garden, Love your husband! Enjoy life you're here and things aren't any different at this moment. Don't go past the day that you're and as much as you possibly can again like. I said it's a learned behavior. I made so many comments here that i'm embarrassed. But I have dealt with this in more than one way with myself and other people. And the people that do the best are the ones that just go on. I know it's hard. But then again it's just as easy. And like that dear person next to you said you're doing great. So many things happen to us during living. The only thing we can do is keep going forward and living in that exact moment enjoying everything we possibly can. And from an outside perspective you seem to be able to do that well. So you have a good start in that process i'm trying to explain the best I can. Don't live as somebody with cancer when you've been given a good report. Take it and go! Find that hair gel.
I would really like to know what you’re eating thru all of this. Are you staying WFPBnsos?? Also I really appreciate how Jessica is presenting the issues and feelings she’s coping with post surgery. This is SO helpful to so many.. the cancer part, waiting, blood work, scans, ongoing …. And your anxiety. Since millions of people deal with anxiety and depression, discussing this in depth is extremely helpful. You do it in such a way that it’s very relatable. So thank you. You are both shining your light… and it’s glowing. Rockstars .. both of you.
You look amazing, Jessica! The curl in your hair is super cute, and your eyes are dancing with light, which I haven’t seen in you before. Brian, you’re such a wonderful man and I can see the stress of this last year is leaving your body. Be good to each other. ❤️🇨🇦
Your hair looks adorable. Can we talk about the flawless skin!!! You both look great. Have you lost your taste for certain foods or gained a liking towards others that you were previously averse to since cancer/treatment? I’ll watch anything you guys care to share but would love to see the continuation of the WFPB journey. Continued prayers from Canada!
u lol beauty inside out ur hair is so beautiful glad to see u and everything and everyone is ok still ur supporters right by ur side first God and then brian so consistent by the grace of God keep praying and and continue to put God first love y'all In God we trust God blesses us all !!!!!
I’ve never seen you guys “in the kitchen.” I found you after I was diagnosed with stage four ovarian. My journey has paralleled yours, only about seven months behind yours, down to the liver lesions. I’ve got two more rounds of chemo left and am deep into surgical menopause and just last week started leaving Zoloft for a more menopause friendly antidepressant. Thank you for sharing your story. I feel seen and heard when I hear you share how you feel. So please keep doing that, even as you maybe find your way back into the kitchen. It’s made a big difference for me. ❤❤❤
My hair post chemo/radiation came back in wavy vice stick straight but came back in my normal dark brown. My mothers black hair came bqck in post radiation wild and crazy gray. So its all very individual i think. Sometimes after all the medical issues have been resolved and there is a sigh of relief the aftermath can have its own issues like worry about the future and every odd symptom can contribute as well as a view of ones own mortality. Ive been there but ive found i can get past this sometimes by just doing things i enjoy-gardening/reading/enjoying my dogs and my little wildlife and barnyard buddies and my family and music. It helps.
Everything today is good, that’s what matters. I’m looking at the next two weeks testing for my monitoring appointment for my Lymphoma /Leukemia. I’m 2 1/2 years from diagnosis and W&W(watch and wait) no treatment yet. I’m the gal that was caregiver for my husband for over three years. He lost his fight 14 months ago now. I turned 75 on May 1. All we can do is keep the faith, try to keep busy. I suffer from the number one complaint of my diagnosis Extreme Exhaustion. I listen to my body and take a rest when needed. Your outdoor garden is a blessing. I too am gardening only all in containers and a GreenStalk. It’s my blessing. It’s just me and my Kitty M&M. Daughter and grandson are here for a visit. I think your hair is adorable, like Brian said Super cute. Hugs and continued prayers. 🤗🤗💜💜🙏🏻🙏🏻
Did you have chemo, You said , ''no treatment yet'' , Why not?I had Lymphoma and its very treatable... Well, good luck with whatever you decide to do. I'm also by myself with my cat Buster and a garden ( 2 years cancer free as of April..) Elaine
@@eveny119 I have never had treatment. Labs have been good, Pet CT and, CT’s showed shrinkage early on. I’m monitored every three months as are many of us on W&W. Congratulations for being Cancer free.
Firstly, congrats on coming so far! I have been more of a lurker than an active, participating subscriber, but I am subscribed and have been following your journey. I can't fully express how beautiful it is to me that Brian has been so attentive. He seems to be closely watching you and always at your side. From what I can tell, you found a good guy. Regarding content, I think it would be awesome to see all of the things you're doing now, while transitioning into your new normal: Activities, outings, what your plant-based diet looks like these days, little "day in the life" sorts of vlogs. After seeing all of the appointments, the hospital visits, the medical updates, etc., I want to see you on the other side of it, doing more and more of the things that you had to put on hold for awhile. I've watched you fight; now, I want to see you living victorious! ❤
All i can say is we LOVE you! I came to the channel to learn about food and what to eat. I ended up learning about Love, courage, and honesty. A reminder that being who you are is good enough :) Thank you from the heart!
Thanks for sharing the update. Wishing you both much health and well being! It would be fun to have a garden tour, learn what you eat in a day or for you to share some new or favorite recipes. Also, sharing about your journey - from meeting, marriage to weight loss/weight gain and life experience has been a special part of your channel...So, thank you both for sharing such personal experiences 💓
Jessica I just had my 6 month checkup. Everything you are saying I am feeling just like you. Everyone thinks I should be kicking up my heals because I’m cancer free. But I have neuropathy very exhausted after work. And the hair is totally crazy 😜. My hair dresser cut it twice just to get the fuzzy ends off. She told me to us Morocco oil and hair gel in my hair. It has helped keeping it a little less wild. I always had curly hair but this is crazy 😜. We just have to let it grow so we can actually have a hairstyle. I think of you very often and pray for you daily. Listening to your story makes me feel not so alone. I wanted to reach out to you to tell you that you are not alone. Sending 🙏🤗❤️.
Love your hair Jessica! Brian is right, it is super cute!!! I, personally, would love to see a garden video! Show us what you have been working on! Gardening is hard work and I love getting ideas from other gardeners. Then, when you have a harvest, maybe Brian can whip up a new dish with your bounty! Stay focused on the Lord you two. God did not promise us that life would always be easy but that He would be there to walk through it with us :). You’ve got this!!!
I would like to see and hear about your journey forward eating to derail cancer formation. There is a lot of new material out there, new studies, that show that a proper diet involving variety of foods, as in the blue zones (Mediterranean and Asian diets), that will help the body to fight off the formation of cancers.
People would KILL to have hair like that! It's absolutely gorgeous. You are a natural beauty. Use hair creams/oils to tame it and keep the frizz down, but you are very lucky to have such great hair -- from my humble pov :) And you look great in the pixi cut. Yay! So happy for your good medical news. Very very happy for you both.
Wish to see wfpb recipes & garden produce updates & walks w/doggies(singing too:) Moving on is not forgetting, just living life! You've got this...stay strong!❤
My hair went curly from chemo also. My advice is let it grow because the curl falls a little down from the weight of the hair. Happy results of scans were good🥰
I will watch whatever you guys do. I am so thankful you are doing well. I love curly hair. Just let it curl. You are beautiful, Jessica. Love you both❤️😊
Welcome to the world of curly hair!! I've had curly hair all my life and you just kind of let your hair do its own thing. You can't really tame it too much--it's going to do what it's going to do--regardless of what you want it to do!! I'm so glad your scans were good. But of course you can't just put it on the shelf. No one that's actually going through this could. I'm glad your depression and anxiety are better as well. I hope that will continue to improve for you. You've dealt with a lot in the past year (both of you have) and you've both handled it with courage and grace and I admire you both so much. You're an inspiration.
Awesome news on the scans and new meds and improvements in your mood! Hang in there on the brain fog--be patient with yourself. Your body and mind have been through so much on this journey. And thank you again for continuing to share your journey with us
I am so glad you are doing better Jessica and that you had great scan results. I would like to see day in the life videos. What you eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Your exercise routines. Activities outside of the home.❤😊
Multicolored curly is really cute on you Jessica! Maybe keep it cropped for a while .. at least during the summer and blow it out in the winter? So glad to see you guys again. Thanks for the update.🕊
You two have been through so much, and because you've shared so much with us, it feels like we're almost your friends now. In terms of making new videos, maybe ask yourselves, what would we want to share about what's been going on lately with a good friend? It could be a new recipe that you're really loving, but it could also be a reflection on something going on, or a lifehack or insight, who knows. But we're all rooting for you two to be as happy and healthy as possible and would love to continue to hear how you're doing. Thanks for the update :)
I’m so glad you’re doing so much better Jessica. You definitely have a bit of a spark about you this time and it’s good to hear your scan results are going in the right direction. Gardening is a great way to sort out your head - I know I find it very therapeutic. Perhaps you could show us round your garden? I’d love to know what you’ve both been planting and planning! 🍓🫑🥬
1) Yay for clear scans! 2) Your hair is super cute. There are curly hair product that can help keep the curl definition and minimize the poof. 3) Yay for the garden; I'd love to see what you planted, what grew, what didn't, and any hopes you have for the future or things you'd change going forward. 4) I love that you have shared what your chemo recovery is like, I feel like it can help people living with cancer recovery survivors as well as people in the thick of chemo. 5) You look so much brighter. I'm glad that the medicine change seems to be helping you, and I'm SO SO SO Proud of you for everything you have achieved. 6) Brian, you're a rockstar and I'm so proud of you.
I think your hair is cute. When my hair grew in after cancer, it was super dark and very curly like yours is. Mine did go back to its natural state eventually. I’m 29 years post cancer!
My sister is remission from ovarian cancer. She was diagnosed around this time last year. We have followed your story. I am so grateful for her and I am so happy that you are doing well. Your hair is adorable. Truly❤
Luv your naturaly frosted hair! "Let it grow..let it grow"...feel joy with all the positives now moving forward from a yr ago!! Bravo! Count your blessings!❤
I’m just so happy for the clear scan results! Also…your mental health is so much better too! So awesome! I know after cancer I think therapy can be really helpful! The trauma you experienced in such a short time might be something you could talk over with a professional!💕
When my sister's hair grew back it looked exactly the same after chemo. Great news on the scan. It really shows that you both pushing for surgery was the right call. I totally understand the singing thing. When I'm super depressed I don't sing either.
Honestly Jessica, I think your hair is the cutest right now! I would keep the pixie and just keep it cleaned up around the edges. You seriously rock this look and if you feel you need to have a little more control of it then use some paste. Happy to hear everything is finally on the right track. Busy yourself like you're doing with work, garden, family and some new recipes. We're here waiting for the kitchen stuff again. Much love & big hugs!! ~M
So good to see your video!! From someone who’s always had straight hair with no curls whatsoever - I envy those new locks of yours! Something that I’d enjoy seeing is videos of you gardening, via shopping for the seeds/plants, general garden planting, tending & progress. Jessica - If you ever start to feel the blues hitting you, I’d suggest you pull up your videos, with the volume turned off, & just sit & watch how Brian looks at you. That man is madly in love with you. I know when feelings of depression set in there’s almost nothing we can do but go through them & wait them out, but maybe those Brian looks of love & admiration might ease it just a touch.🤍 Again, wonderful to see your post! 🙂
Content - I'd love more of everything, lol. Physical health updates. Mental health updates. What you're eating. How you're getting exercise. Recipe ideas. Dog updates! How about a walk around your city - healthy for you and fun for us. A drive around your city with some stops at restaurants and grocery stores. All of the above with plenty of chatting. I always feel like I'm spending time with friends/neighbors when you post. Most of all, I'm happy to see you both looking so good. You seem more relaxed. Prayers that everything continues to go well for you both.
Thanks for the update. You always turn up with a video about the time it occurs to me that we haven't heard from you in a while. I'm glad the scans were good, and I hope they will stay that way. As for new content, I'd love to see you doing recipes again. You've said you have some already recorded, so I'd love to see them and maybe some new ones!
Curly girl here..... milkshake products are amazing, the leave in conditioner mousse is a life saver. Don't brush or comb dry use a spray bottle to dampen it/refresh. Some shaping may help too but be careful if you want it longer.
I am 76 y/o triple negative breast cancer survivor., of six years. Rejoice in your continued success, and love for each other. I have learned to treasure each day, as we never know if we will have another. Live your fullest life…and take one day at a time. Hold one to each other. None of us k ows what lies ahead, so make the most of the moment. I am looking forward to more recipes that are simple. And congratulations to both of you. What a milestone. Think of how far you have come. Yikes! Fyi….this is Kathleen not Don
Always glad to hear from you guys. ❤️Happy to hear your scans were good. Many prayers have gone up in your behalf.👍🏾Your hair looks cute. Get a small pair of hoop earrings. Earrings add pizzazz!(I never leave home without them.)As far as content goes, any topic is fine with me. A casserole recipe would be nice for the fall so there’s plenty of time for that. Brian,you are the best!! Don’t forget to also take care of YOU!
Hi Jessica and Brian, SO happy to see you two. Jessica your hair looks so cute. I had my hysterectomy when I was 28 which caused hot flashes etc. My doctor had me take Vit. E and it really helped. You might want to run that by your doctor. You look so much happier this video. You had gone through so much and then menopause hits. Hormones or should I say lack of them can also cause depressing. I am praying for the both of you. Brian you are an amazing caretaker and husband. You have both been so strong. You are both so blessed. Big hugs and blessings
Jessica, so nice to see you and Brian back on YT. I think your hair looks really fine, I like the curls and thickness. My hair is super fine and thin, so I think you are lucky with your hair. I am glad you are feeling more yourself now and that your depression is lifting somewhat. I would love to see more cooking and gardening videos and obviously keep us updated on your progress moving forward too.
You could now focus on being a pioneer in doing videos on how to stay super healthy living in the aftermath of cancer. As a year 2 colon cancer survivor myself, I find there are lots of people who talk extensively about "preventing" cancer. You could be the pioneers in all things to do with "surviving" cancer with healthy living principles. Plant based eating is of course key, movement is v important eg studies show a 30% improvement in disease free survival if you just exercise about 6 hours a week after cancer. I would love to have people like you to watch to keep me going as I fight to keep cancer recurrence at bay. No-one in the plant based community focuses on "stopping cancer coming back". It's a real gap for us. Thank you so much. You are such lovely people and I'm so glad you have good news.
I am so very happy to hear from you!! Good to hear you are adjusting to your new normal. I would love to see the recipe videos you have. Post when the timing is best for you. We can wait. Wishing you both all the best as you continue to navigate your recovery.
Glad to hear that you are feeling better. Your hair is beautiful and you look great. Brian your a good man to stand and support Jessica with her health.
So good to hear from you both. That being said, never apologize or feel obligated to post videos at a certain frequency. You take care of yourselves and each other. I love your hair. You are so pretty and it is cool to have 4 different colors. You two have been thru hell and back. I have curly hair. You look healthy and happy
Give yourself some grace during this time of healing. It took me over a year to be able to speak a full thought. The brain fog was horrible but it goes away…slowly. You are moving in a positive direction but give yourself time to let your body heal on its own time. ❤
I don't think you realize how beautiful your hair is. Stop trying to hide it and embrace it. When your husband tells you it's beautiful, it is definitely beautiful.
Girl I’ve had super curly hair all my life and I use to fight it. Now I just let it go curly and I get so many compliments on it. It’s so easy, wash, condition and go. Praying for you both always! God’s blessings and much love always 🙏♥️
So good to to hear everything you both had to say. Thank you for explaining how the depression effects you. The fact that your husband is in tune with this part of you is amazing and huge. His support is something I wish for but it takes someone very special to understand.
Take care and I'd love to see your garden.
Try some essential oils for your hair to hopefully tame it to your liking. I think you are cute!❤
Totally agreed
You are so lucky to have your hair! I was first diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2000. After chemo, radiation and a mastectomy, my hair did not come back. I have been wearing wigs since then.
So happy you are doing better😊

This man loves his wife. This is what love looks like. I'm old and, like most people, never had it myself. Only 5% of adults are even married so anyone who is loved and happily married is the exception.

It's the thought process in this dress that does the most damage I am convinced. Work in your garden, Love your husband! Enjoy life you're here and things aren't any different at this moment. Don't go past the day that you're and as much as you possibly can again like. I said it's a learned behavior. I made so many comments here that i'm embarrassed. But I have dealt with this in more than one way with myself and other people. And the people that do the best are the ones that just go on. I know it's hard. But then again it's just as easy. And like that dear person next to you said you're doing great. So many things happen to us during living. The only thing we can do is keep going forward and living in that exact moment enjoying everything we possibly can. And from an outside perspective you seem to be able to do that well. So you have a good start in that process i'm trying to explain the best I can. Don't live as somebody with cancer when you've been given a good report. Take it and go! Find that hair gel.
I would really like to know what you’re eating thru all of this. Are you staying WFPBnsos??
Also I really appreciate how Jessica is presenting the issues and feelings she’s coping with post surgery. This is SO helpful to so many.. the cancer part, waiting, blood work, scans, ongoing …. And your anxiety. Since millions of people deal with anxiety and depression, discussing this in depth is extremely helpful. You do it in such a way that it’s very relatable. So thank you. You are both shining your light… and it’s glowing. Rockstars .. both of you.
Giving thanks for clear scans. Love your curls. I would enjoy seeing a tour of your garden and what you plan to do with your harvest.
Great news! I would like to see your way of eating through your journey.
For me, I’m just looking forward to seeing your faces for years to come. Literally anything you’re feeling up to is a joy to watch. ❤
I agree 💯 ❤
You look amazing, Jessica! The curl in your hair is super cute, and your eyes are dancing with light, which I haven’t seen in you before. Brian, you’re such a wonderful man and I can see the stress of this last year is leaving your body. Be good to each other. ❤️🇨🇦
The "eyes" have it! Motion passed!
I love how he looks at you.
Jessica: "I've got notes here..."
Everybody watching: "We knew you would."😊
You have a beautiful full head of hair. Embrace it and let it grow and then decide.
So glad you are doing well and hope it just keeps getting better!
My son loved his after chemo hair but it didn't last. Once he got it cut, it grew back normal. Don't hide your warrior hair, you look great girl!!
My husband left his Croc’s laying in the kitchen floor yesterday and I immediately thought, I miss Krocks in the kitchen! And now here you are!!
Your hair looks adorable. Can we talk about the flawless skin!!! You both look great. Have you lost your taste for certain foods or gained a liking towards others that you were previously averse to since cancer/treatment? I’ll watch anything you guys care to share but would love to see the continuation of the WFPB journey. Continued prayers from Canada!
Thank you, science, medicine, doctors, nurses, researchers, etc 🙏 🙏 🙏
Your hair looks so cute Jessica! ❤ Congrats on the clear scans! 🎉 You got this! 🎉
u lol beauty inside out ur hair is so beautiful glad to see u and everything and everyone is ok still ur supporters right by ur side first God and then brian so consistent by the grace of God keep praying and and continue to put God first love y'all In God we trust God blesses us all !!!!!
I’ve never seen you guys “in the kitchen.” I found you after I was diagnosed with stage four ovarian. My journey has paralleled yours, only about seven months behind yours, down to the liver lesions. I’ve got two more rounds of chemo left and am deep into surgical menopause and just last week started leaving Zoloft for a more menopause friendly antidepressant. Thank you for sharing your story. I feel seen and heard when I hear you share how you feel. So please keep doing that, even as you maybe find your way back into the kitchen. It’s made a big difference for me. ❤❤❤
I love your positive outlook Brian and Spring definitely helps-but the greatest gift jessica can get is the support she gets from you!
Let's look at your lovely porcelain skin though??? You look healthy and radiant..I am so happy for the results of your scans, thank God!!
My hair post chemo/radiation came back in wavy vice stick straight but came back in my normal dark brown. My mothers black hair came bqck in post radiation wild and crazy gray. So its all very individual i think. Sometimes after all the medical issues have been resolved and there is a sigh of relief the aftermath can have its own issues like worry about the future and every odd symptom can contribute as well as a view of ones own mortality. Ive been there but ive found i can get past this sometimes by just doing things i enjoy-gardening/reading/enjoying my dogs and my little wildlife and barnyard buddies and my family and music. It helps.
What a BLESSING it is that you have such a Loving & Supportive Husband. : ) Praying for your health & recovery. Your curls are very Pretty : )
It was nice to hear from you guys, Jessica it’s great to hear your doing better. Stay strong and we ❤️ you guys.
Everything today is good, that’s what matters. I’m looking at the next two weeks testing for my monitoring appointment for my Lymphoma /Leukemia. I’m 2 1/2 years from diagnosis and W&W(watch and wait) no treatment yet. I’m the gal that was caregiver for my husband for over three years. He lost his fight 14 months ago now. I turned 75 on May 1. All we can do is keep the faith, try to keep busy. I suffer from the number one complaint of my diagnosis Extreme Exhaustion. I listen to my body and take a rest when needed. Your outdoor garden is a blessing. I too am gardening only all in containers and a GreenStalk. It’s my blessing. It’s just me and my Kitty M&M. Daughter and grandson are here for a visit. I think your hair is adorable, like Brian said Super cute. Hugs and continued prayers. 🤗🤗💜💜🙏🏻🙏🏻
Did you have chemo, You said , ''no treatment yet'' , Why not?I had Lymphoma and its very treatable...
Well, good luck with whatever you decide to do. I'm also by myself with my cat Buster and a garden ( 2 years cancer free as of April..) Elaine
@@eveny119 I have never had treatment. Labs have been good, Pet CT and, CT’s showed shrinkage early on. I’m monitored every three months as are many of us on W&W. Congratulations for being Cancer free.
You are recovering, getting back to health and your hair is beautifully curly. Embrace your journeys!!!
Firstly, congrats on coming so far! I have been more of a lurker than an active, participating subscriber, but I am subscribed and have been following your journey. I can't fully express how beautiful it is to me that Brian has been so attentive. He seems to be closely watching you and always at your side. From what I can tell, you found a good guy.
Regarding content, I think it would be awesome to see all of the things you're doing now, while transitioning into your new normal: Activities, outings, what your plant-based diet looks like these days, little "day in the life" sorts of vlogs. After seeing all of the appointments, the hospital visits, the medical updates, etc., I want to see you on the other side of it, doing more and more of the things that you had to put on hold for awhile. I've watched you fight; now, I want to see you living victorious! ❤
We want to see a garden tour, obviously ! Glad to hear you’re doing better ❤
This is my suggestion too. Glad to hear things are getting better! You two are amazing and wonderful people 💕
All i can say is we LOVE you! I came to the channel to learn about food and what to eat. I ended up learning about Love, courage, and honesty. A reminder that being who you are is good enough :) Thank you from the heart!
Thanks for sharing the update. Wishing you both much health and well being! It would be fun to have a garden tour, learn what you eat in a day or for you to share some new or favorite recipes. Also, sharing about your journey - from meeting, marriage to weight loss/weight gain and life experience has been a special part of your channel...So, thank you both for sharing such personal experiences 💓
Jessica I just had my 6 month checkup. Everything you are saying I am feeling just like you. Everyone thinks I should be kicking up my heals because I’m cancer free. But I have neuropathy very exhausted after work. And the hair is totally crazy 😜. My hair dresser cut it twice just to get the fuzzy ends off. She told me to us Morocco oil and hair gel in my hair. It has helped keeping it a little less wild. I always had curly hair but this is crazy 😜. We just have to let it grow so we can actually have a hairstyle.
I think of you very often and pray for you daily.
Listening to your story makes me feel not so alone. I wanted to reach out to you to tell you that you are not alone. Sending 🙏🤗❤️.
Wild Cheering for clear scans!!!🎉🎉🎉❤
I honestly, really like your hair better than before, it's so so totally ADORABLE! ❤
THIS is what we have been PRAYING for love! 💕
Love your hair Jessica! Brian is right, it is super cute!!! I, personally, would love to see a garden video! Show us what you have been working on! Gardening is hard work and I love getting ideas from other gardeners. Then, when you have a harvest, maybe Brian can whip up a new dish with your bounty! Stay focused on the Lord you two. God did not promise us that life would always be easy but that He would be there to walk through it with us :). You’ve got this!!!
I would like to see and hear about your journey forward eating to derail cancer formation. There is a lot of new material out there, new studies, that show that a proper diet involving variety of foods, as in the blue zones (Mediterranean and Asian diets), that will help the body to fight off the formation of cancers.
People would KILL to have hair like that! It's absolutely gorgeous. You are a natural beauty. Use hair creams/oils to tame it and keep the frizz down, but you are very lucky to have such great hair -- from my humble pov :) And you look great in the pixi cut. Yay! So happy for your good medical news. Very very happy for you both.
Wish to see wfpb recipes & garden produce updates & walks w/doggies(singing too:) Moving on is not forgetting, just living life! You've got this...stay strong!❤
Jessica your hair will go back to what it was before in about a year or so. So glad you are doing good! You and Bryan are the cutest!
Prayers out for both of you. Jessica…love the hair! Love the curls and the color. Don’t dye it. Thank you for the update. Hugs to both of you❤
My hair went curly from chemo also. My advice is let it grow because the curl falls a little down from the weight of the hair. Happy results of scans were good🥰
Great news! I love your hair, I have curls too. You can blow dry it to reduce the curling.
I am so glad you are feeling better physically and mentally. One day at a time dear Jessica. Love from a fellow cancer patient in Australia xx
I will watch whatever you guys do. I am so thankful you are doing well. I love curly hair. Just let it curl. You are beautiful, Jessica. Love you both❤️😊
Welcome to the world of curly hair!! I've had curly hair all my life and you just kind of let your hair do its own thing. You can't really tame it too much--it's going to do what it's going to do--regardless of what you want it to do!! I'm so glad your scans were good. But of course you can't just put it on the shelf. No one that's actually going through this could. I'm glad your depression and anxiety are better as well. I hope that will continue to improve for you. You've dealt with a lot in the past year (both of you have) and you've both handled it with courage and grace and I admire you both so much. You're an inspiration.
Awesome news on the scans and new meds and improvements in your mood! Hang in there on the brain fog--be patient with yourself. Your body and mind have been through so much on this journey. And thank you again for continuing to share your journey with us
it's her smile and giggle that makes her adorable
Your hair looks cute on you. So happy you are feeling better. Garden tour would be nice.
I want to see the garden, the cooking, the vacations and riding those bikes. A fresh start.
I am so glad you are doing better Jessica and that you had great scan results. I would like to see day in the life videos. What you eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Your exercise routines. Activities outside of the home.❤😊
Multicolored curly is really cute on you Jessica! Maybe keep it cropped for a while .. at least during the summer and blow it out in the winter? So glad to see you guys again. Thanks for the update.🕊
You two have been through so much, and because you've shared so much with us, it feels like we're almost your friends now. In terms of making new videos, maybe ask yourselves, what would we want to share about what's been going on lately with a good friend? It could be a new recipe that you're really loving, but it could also be a reflection on something going on, or a lifehack or insight, who knows. But we're all rooting for you two to be as happy and healthy as possible and would love to continue to hear how you're doing. Thanks for the update :)
Jessica, I am a curly gal, and product is your friend - curl cream, mousse or gel. I love your curls!
I’m so glad you’re doing so much better Jessica. You definitely have a bit of a spark about you this time and it’s good to hear your scan results are going in the right direction. Gardening is a great way to sort out your head - I know I find it very therapeutic. Perhaps you could show us round your garden? I’d love to know what you’ve both been planting and planning! 🍓🫑🥬
1) Yay for clear scans! 2) Your hair is super cute. There are curly hair product that can help keep the curl definition and minimize the poof. 3) Yay for the garden; I'd love to see what you planted, what grew, what didn't, and any hopes you have for the future or things you'd change going forward. 4) I love that you have shared what your chemo recovery is like, I feel like it can help people living with cancer recovery survivors as well as people in the thick of chemo. 5) You look so much brighter. I'm glad that the medicine change seems to be helping you, and I'm SO SO SO Proud of you for everything you have achieved. 6) Brian, you're a rockstar and I'm so proud of you.
So glad to hear the great news!! Your hair is adorable. ❤️
Oh my gosh, your hair is absolutely adorable!! Love it. Keep living your life and I’ll keep praying for your continued good health.
You have been through so much Jessica. I am glad to hear the great news both mentally and physically ❤❤
I think your hair is cute. When my hair grew in after cancer, it was super dark and very curly like yours is. Mine did go back to its natural state eventually. I’m 29 years post cancer!
what super adorable hair!!! looking good!
My sister is remission from ovarian cancer. She was diagnosed around this time last year. We have followed your story. I am so grateful for her and I am so happy that you are doing well. Your hair is adorable. Truly❤
So good to see you two back again. You are looking so healthy and pretty. Love the natural freedom your hair is doing. God Bless you both
Luv your naturaly frosted hair! "Let it grow..let it grow"...feel joy with all the positives now moving forward from a yr ago!! Bravo! Count your blessings!❤
I’m just so happy for the clear scan results! Also…your mental health is so much better too! So awesome! I know after cancer I think therapy can be really helpful! The trauma you experienced in such a short time might be something you could talk over with a professional!💕
Would be so nice to see a garden tour and regular updates on what you grow and how you process it in the kitchen to nurture your health ?
When my sister's hair grew back it looked exactly the same after chemo. Great news on the scan. It really shows that you both pushing for surgery was the right call. I totally understand the singing thing. When I'm super depressed I don't sing either.
Honestly Jessica, I think your hair is the cutest right now! I would keep the pixie and just keep it cleaned up around the edges. You seriously rock this look and if you feel you need to have a little more control of it then use some paste. Happy to hear everything is finally on the right track. Busy yourself like you're doing with work, garden, family and some new recipes. We're here waiting for the kitchen stuff again. Much love & big hugs!! ~M
From people I know that beat cancer they do return to to being just like before. Don't underestimate yourself.
So great to see you both!!! Missed you! Checked frequently your TH-cam channel for new video. Holding you both in the Light. And hugs.
So good to see your video!!
From someone who’s always had straight hair with no curls whatsoever - I envy those new locks of yours!
Something that I’d enjoy seeing is videos of you gardening, via shopping for the seeds/plants, general garden planting, tending & progress.
Jessica - If you ever start to feel the blues hitting you, I’d suggest you pull up your videos, with the volume turned off, & just sit & watch how Brian looks at you. That man is madly in love with you. I know when feelings of depression set in there’s almost nothing we can do but go through them & wait them out, but maybe those Brian looks of love & admiration might ease it just a touch.🤍
Again, wonderful to see your post! 🙂
Jessica, this is such good news :) :) So happy you're getting back to doing more things.
Content - I'd love more of everything, lol. Physical health updates. Mental health updates. What you're eating. How you're getting exercise. Recipe ideas. Dog updates! How about a walk around your city - healthy for you and fun for us. A drive around your city with some stops at restaurants and grocery stores. All of the above with plenty of chatting. I always feel like I'm spending time with friends/neighbors when you post. Most of all, I'm happy to see you both looking so good. You seem more relaxed. Prayers that everything continues to go well for you both.
Thanks for the update. You always turn up with a video about the time it occurs to me that we haven't heard from you in a while. I'm glad the scans were good, and I hope they will stay that way. As for new content, I'd love to see you doing recipes again. You've said you have some already recorded, so I'd love to see them and maybe some new ones!
Curly girl here..... milkshake products are amazing, the leave in conditioner mousse is a life saver. Don't brush or comb dry use a spray bottle to dampen it/refresh. Some shaping may help too but be careful if you want it longer.
Sooooo happy to see your smiling faces.
I am 76 y/o triple negative breast cancer survivor., of six years. Rejoice in your continued success, and love for each other. I have learned to treasure each day, as we never know if we will have another. Live your fullest life…and take one day at a time. Hold one to each other. None of us k ows what lies ahead, so make the most of the moment. I am looking forward to more recipes that are simple. And congratulations to both of you. What a milestone. Think of how far you have come. Yikes! Fyi….this is Kathleen not Don
I'm so glad to hear the good health news! And I personally love the new hair style! I would call it the free style. Curly, wavy. Cool! It looks thick.
Like everyone else, would love to see the garden and hear about more recipes. And just day to day life. So happy to hear from you both today!
Always glad to hear from you guys. ❤️Happy to hear your scans were good. Many prayers have gone up in your behalf.👍🏾Your hair looks cute. Get a small pair of hoop earrings. Earrings add pizzazz!(I never leave home without them.)As far as content goes, any topic is fine with me. A casserole recipe would be nice for the fall so there’s plenty of time for that. Brian,you are the best!! Don’t forget to also take care of YOU!
Songs about dogs are always a good sign. Well done Jessica! x
Hi Jessica and Brian, SO happy to see you two. Jessica your hair looks so cute. I had my hysterectomy when I was 28 which caused hot flashes etc. My doctor had me take Vit. E and it really helped. You might want to run that by your doctor. You look so much happier this video. You had gone through so much and then menopause hits. Hormones or should I say lack of them can also cause depressing. I am praying for the both of you. Brian you are an amazing caretaker and husband. You have both been so strong. You are both so blessed. Big hugs and blessings
Jessica, so nice to see you and Brian back on YT. I think your hair looks really fine, I like the curls and thickness. My hair is super fine and thin, so I think you are lucky with your hair. I am glad you are feeling more yourself now and that your depression is lifting somewhat. I would love to see more cooking and gardening videos and obviously keep us updated on your progress moving forward too.
Love to see your garden! Mine is definitely my place of calm and keeps me in a good place 👍🏼
You could now focus on being a pioneer in doing videos on how to stay super healthy living in the aftermath of cancer. As a year 2 colon cancer survivor myself, I find there are lots of people who talk extensively about "preventing" cancer. You could be the pioneers in all things to do with "surviving" cancer with healthy living principles. Plant based eating is of course key, movement is v important eg studies show a 30% improvement in disease free survival if you just exercise about 6 hours a week after cancer.
I would love to have people like you to watch to keep me going as I fight to keep cancer recurrence at bay.
No-one in the plant based community focuses on "stopping cancer coming back". It's a real gap for us. Thank you so much. You are such lovely people and I'm so glad you have good news.
I am so very happy to hear from you!! Good to hear you are adjusting to your new normal. I would love to see the recipe videos you have. Post when the timing is best for you. We can wait. Wishing you both all the best as you continue to navigate your recovery.
Glad to hear that you are feeling better. Your hair is beautiful and you look great. Brian your a good man to stand and support Jessica with her health.
Your hair is super cute! Throw some mousse in it and let it air dry. Rock some fun statement earrings!
Such great scan results. You can see the joy, relief and happiness with the results
Your hair looks so lovely.I love the curls.Embrace it!
Glad to hear the good news about scans.
Bless you both!❤🇨🇦
So good to hear from you both. That being said, never apologize or feel obligated to post videos at a certain frequency. You take care of yourselves and each other. I love your hair. You are so pretty and it is cool to have 4 different colors. You two have been thru hell and back. I have curly hair. You look healthy and happy
Woo Hoo 🎉 🎊 on the scans. Cool hair, embrace it 💜
Give yourself some grace during this time of healing. It took me over a year to be able to speak a full thought. The brain fog was horrible but it goes away…slowly. You are moving in a positive direction but give yourself time to let your body heal on its own time. ❤
Glad you are doing better! I have a small backyard garden. I would love to see yours this year, and of course some of Brian’s recipes.
