I have you in my thoughts and prayers everyday!! Watching you grow into such a beautiful woman from your Moms channels and now watching yours is so special.
Beverly, I totally agree with that! Jess is a beautiful, smart, and lovely young lady, just like her mom! I'm keeping her in my prayers for a quick recovery â€ïž
Hang in there sweetie. You are the bravest person I know because I donât think I would be able to hold it together while talking in a blog much less deal with the chemo and cancer. You have my utmost respect. My thoughts and prayers are with you daily. Sending you lots of hugs â€
Hang in there girl, you have so many people pulling for you and praying for you. We all wish we could take away your pain, sickness, and cancer, but go fight like a girl! We love ya! Prayers to everyone!!!
Week 1 â thank you for taking us along for the ride. You are so positive and strong. If you need to step away from vlogging to conserve your energy and strength, we will understand and be here when you get back
Huge hugs đ
Hang in there Jess. When I was having radiation I couldnât wait for it to be over. 42 days felt like it was never going to be done. Youâre a warrior!! Remember youâre braver than you think. You will get through through this. At the end of this you will think wow if I get through chemo I can do anything. Sending positive vibes and prayers!! Keep that humor going. It will get you through the rough times.
The beginning of chemo is the hardest because you just have so much left to do!!! But eventually you get to the end and you are just so proud of yourself for making it through!! You've got this!!!
You are so brave. After this is done, you will have these blogs to look back on and you will be so proud of getting through it and having it behind you. Keeping you and your family in my prayers!
I pray God contues to give you the strength to go through all that you are dealing with sweet girl. May the Loed bless you honey .my prayers are continually with you and your family. You are truly blessed to have them with you on this journey.
Hi Jessica, do you have my absolute respect. My sister had a lot of the same symptoms when she was going through chemo. Sleep when you have to be active when you can and just allow your body to fight this. You are doing great! I am so so so proud of you.
Thank you for the update, Jess! I love and am praying for you all the time! Chemotherapy drugs are devastating to the body's good and 'cancerous' cells and really pack a wallop. I'm so sorry that you are going through this to start with. No one deserves to have to deal with cancer. May you feel comfort, peace, healing, and strength woven throughout your life! Hugs from Alabama â€ïž
Hi there! How are you doing today?
Girl! The fact that youâre still trying your best to keep us updated and your videos going is such an INSPIRATION!!!!! But know you donât have to feel obligated to post videos. We adore you and are praying for you.
no need to pray to something that is already dead
@@Danuxsy WTF is wrong with you. Go troll somewhere else.
Hang in there. The antinausea meds gave me a migraine too. It's tough going through but look at the light at the end of the tunnel. Stage 4 ovarian cancer survivor here x3. Ask me any questions if you need anything!
Wow! You've been through a lot. I too have been in treatment for OC --twice--and am now on maintenance regimen of Zejula and Avastin. I also had hipec surgery. Are you still in treatment?
@@kate-ot5lv no, I'm done now. I just do the Avastin infusions every 3 weeks. You've been through a lot also. My best to you!!
Praying for you, sweetheart. I canât even imagine what youâre going through. But we have Jesus to walk beside us though every aspect of our lives. As it is said; DONâT TELL GOD HOW BIG YOUR PROBLEM IS, TELL YOUR PROBLEM HOW BIG YOUR GOD IS!
You are an amazing young lady! With all that youâre going through, you still find the time and strength to let us know how youâre doing. God bless you!
Is Jess at stage 4 so young?
@@mariaarroyos2925 no. I don't think hers is stage 4
after it's all done it'll probably feel like it happened in 2 seconds, but while you're in it it probably feels like forever every minute. Hang in there, it'll all be good in time. hug
Sorry you're having such a rough time. You and your family are in my Prayers. You're a tough girl you've got this. Peace from WV
Sorry you are going through this journey. I recently finished my treatment for breast cancer. Try to only take or plan for one day at a time. Donât look too far down the road. I found it helpful to cross off each day on my calendar. Like crossing off my to do list. Prayers and hugs are heading your way. From so many. â€ïžđđ»
Aloha Jess đ€
You hang in there!
I had to help my mom through chemo. AM/PM mini mart ice milk chocolate shakes was the only thing she could keep down for like a week. The coolness felt good on her throat to.
Things will get better! You can cross off the first week! Give your parents a hug and tell them you love them and that will help them get through this next week. Give Piper a hug! He will give you those beagle breath kisses back! He's getting big! God bless Jess! Mahalo for your vids!
25 years later listening to you brought it back, your humor is gonna get you threw a long with fantastic family. Your brave and a inspiration Jess much love and hydrate lol hug hug
Jess you are in my prayers numerous times a day. Thank for showing such courage.
Jess.. you are an amazing person! I love you! You make me smile and laughâŠ
What you are going through is shitty but your doing it, gettinâ er done, as they say. Your personality is great- you are made for the camera I think⊠quite a girl you are⊠if I was your age I would want to be your friend. Iâm old enough to be your grandma - you make me feel young!
Be proud of yourself, youâve go this! â€ïž
Love from Fraserville ON đšđŠ
Hang in there, Jess! We started Chemo about the same time but thankfully I go every other Tuesday and get 4 meds over about 4 hours AND bring a pump home to infuse a final drug over 48 hours. That's bad enough but I would hate it daily, I know!! But, we got this!! đ€đ€ - Diana â€
I have watch your mom since finding her when I was going through my own health crisis which lead me to your channel. Sending you all my best wishes and hope everything goes well.
Thanks for the update sweet Jessica.â€
I worry about you constantly as a mother of 2 daughters my heart aches for you and your whole family and friends.
Keep up the fight!â€
Thoughts and prayers đ. You got this.
Thanks for bringing us along on your journey! Keep saying how you feel and asking for what you need. It helps us to understand. Big virtual hug ((â€)) headed your way.
You are in my thoughts and prayers for strength and fast recovery. One powerful woman, takes after MOM. Love you all.â€
Hold on girlie!!! Just hold on!!!! You are always in my prayers ....prayers for strength, comfort, and knowing we all love you!
I'm watching this on Father's Day here in the States. Tell your dad Happy Father's Day!! Blessings for you all.
Jess, you are quite a strong person! But know it's okay when you don't want to be or just can't! Praying for you!
Thinking of you every day with hope for a happy, healthy future!
Hello Jess!! I'm glad that you already had 1 week of quimo done and sending my prayers your way for a fast recovery!!
Cheering you on cancer sister đ Cancer SUCKS. Treatment SUCKS. Itâs ok to not be ok. Take care of you girlie. â€
I'm carrying you in my heart as you take each day of this journey. †I know when I was in the depths of my radiation sessions for treating my tongue cancer, with all the side effects in full force, the only thought that was a comfort was I was one freakin' day closer to done. You'll be done too, Jess, and be able to look back on this journey with the relief of being finished. We do what needs doing, eh?
Hugs to you and your family - I watched your mom's latest vlog so I know it's been a very tough couple of weeks between the first week of treatment and now. I hope knowing of all the healing prayers and good vibes from all of us is a measure of comfort to you. â€
Awww, kiddo, Im sorry you feel so bad. I hope you feel better. Sending love
oh I dont like to see you not feel well . Jess I'm rooting for you keep on being you !
You've got this, Jess! Have they mentioned a picc line or port instead of an iv? I have a port so the iv medications go through that instead of an IV that can get infiltrated (that's when the IV is displaced and the meds go into your skin like you described and it becomes swollen instead of staying in the vein and going through your bloodstream), just a thought though, I'm sure your team has got your best interests at heart. I Hope Piper is giving you loads of puppy love through all of this. You're tougher than cancer, and tougher than chemo! Keeping going :)
Yeah, I'm wondering the same thing about whether or not the chemo provider talked to them about a PICC (can be left up to a year or so) or a midline (has to be changed out roughly every 30 days). I'm not sure that a port being placed would be the best option considering that they are doing the chemo to prevent any potential cells from turning into actual full blown cancer and the fact that a port requires access every 30 days whether it's used or not for maintenance of it to prevent clots at the end (I have one too but I access at least three times a month so maintenance is just a part of my care).
@@lesliehyde Right, I use my port daily so it makes more sense for me but I think Jess said her chemo schedule is for 12 weeks so a midline or picc would be perfect. I heard Sandi mention that she spoke to one of the doctors when they went for an appointment and were going to try set up getting iv fluids at home which makes it even more worthwhile than just an iv. Iâm sure they will figure it out though, I donât want to get too intrusive with medical advice. đ âșïž
Jess you and your Mom are just adorable. Loved seeing the close relationship you both share. HUGS to you both.
Been sending prayers to you everyday and hope youâre receiving them in spirit and hope you are doing well, keep on fighting Jess!!â€ïžâ€ïž
What a fighter you are, keep it up and completely agree with you that this is a chapter of your life that "we" don't wanna repeat :) Best wishes for the rest of the lines in this chapter still.
Saw a nurse on your momâs channel suggested numbing sore throat lozenges to tolerate swallowing. Hang in thereâŠyou got this, girl.
My BF has throat cancer, and thereâs a shortage of viscous lidocaine right now, he canât get it, so as a substitute, weâre using Vicks VapoCool spray. Itâs a little expensive, but it contains 5% benzocaine and some menthol, and does provide some temporary relief. Itâs not really what he needs, but it works in a pinch.
I pray for you every night, Jess. You are so brave and strong. Hang in thereâ€ïžđđ»â€ïž
You are such a strong young woman. Quite an inspiration! We keep you in our prayers!
Iâm so sorry you have to go through this but youâre so strong, a lot stronger than you think and you got thisâ€
You have been so brave through this whole process JessâŠyou are an inspiration and Iâm continuing to pray for you!
Thank you for sharing this rough journey with the world Jess.
You are super brave in sharing your story. Healing thoughts and prayers for you an your parents with you on this journey.â€â€
Hey Sis! It's so good to hear from you! Your sweet momma has been keeping us in the loop, but it's good to see your sweet face. We're praying for you! Chemo is nasty business, but it works.
Piper is such a good girl. She's been "helping" with the sheep. It's pretty hilarious.
Keep trucking along. You've got this! Don't forget to hydrate!đ
Thanks for this update, Jess. I know it takes a lot out of you. I keep you and the family in my prayers daily. Stay strong. You got this!
You are doing great. Just focus on one day at a time. That day is done and over with. Sending you positive energy and healing thoughts.â€
More power to you đ
I'm praying for you đ
Thank you for posting your chemo experience. You are handing a tough situation very well. Chemo is never easy for anyone. You're handling it well. Take care.
Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I've read some of the other posts and see that others have traveled the same road. Hang tough, hydrate (love your kidneys) as it flushes meds out of your system, eat as possible. All of us are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.
Thinking of you hun!! You are your mothers daughter!! With that being said you are a tough beautiful woman!! This will kick your ass but you will fight back even harder and be stronger for it!!! We love you girl!!â€đšđŠâ€đšđŠâ€
Keep up the good job hun. You'll beat this thing. You and your mom are so cute together. You and your mom are so brave and I know you'll are tired but soon it'll be over. â€â€â€â€â€â€
Stay strong, Jess. You can do it!! I know those Chemotherapy drugs wipe you out, and the drinking of a lot of fluids sucks, but keep your eye on the end of it all. You'll be strong, healthy, and Cancer free. My prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. Your friend, a Retired Paramedic, and a S&R Dog and Handler Team Trainer and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn đđđšđŠđ
Jessica, you and you family are showing so much grace. Those who do not have anyone in their families or circle of friends going though a tough time, you are their eyes into this experience of the nurses who are helping and caring for everyone in this same situation. My father did dialysis every Friday. I realize it has some stuff the same and some stuff not the same. God Bless You. I would like to have a sister in your mother and daughter like you. P.S. I loved your video showing your travels in Iceland.
STAY STRONG YOU CAN DO THIS!! STILL PRAYING FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!
When you and your mom were sitting in the truck looking at the camera, you were twins !!!! You're both beautiful! Hang in there, in my prayers đ
You are so down to earth about this go around. Just taking it in stride. I hope other young people watch you go thru this. Mat be should be the poster child of cancer. Keep your spirits up. And give your momma a BIG hug! What a cheerleader, confident, chauffeur.
Iâm so glad you had a nice oncology nurse. They make all the difference. Iâm also relieved you are napping and resting. Sending healing energy and hugs.
Jess you are a warrior. Youâve been in our thoughts and heart all the time. â€â€â€â€â€
Iâm so sorry youâre so sick but yes, getting it over is your hope for a long life without cancer.
You go girl! Sending love!đŠđâ€ïžđ
Jess, you're handling all this with so much grace and dignity!
I'm old enough to be your grandmother, and I am so proud of you!
Keeping all of you in my heart!
Sorry for what you are going through. †You are so much like your magnificent mother.
I am feeling this to my bone and tears to boot. You are teaching me about what really matters in life and the need to question our reality. Such a blessing to be anywhere near for this kind of experience. But I went through it before when my younger brothers girl friend came down with ovarian cancer. Visits at Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto. Sorry I can't continue.
Hang in there -you are being a brave individual and are extremely helpful to others going thru this same thing.
I know it can be rough and you can get so sick but wishing all the best going thru it. My thoughts and prayers with you .
I always remember you in my prayers. More power to you
Hang in there. Many prayers for you and your family.
I just saw you on your momâs page. You were pulling out your loose hair, please remember it grows back. And you have a beautiful face and no hair will totally work for you. It grows back, it grows back, and if youâre not comfortable with it great wigs out there. You are beautiful no matter what because you rock from the inside out. Love you Jess stay strong and so up. đđđđ
Stay strong mentally. Your body is going through a lot of stuff itâs not accustomed to, but your positive attitude will see you through.
You are fighting the toughest fight of your life, get rest whenever and for however long you can.
Love you Jess and STAY STRONG. â€
I'm amazed you have energy for filming and narrating. Thank you for sharing your journey. You got this!
Jess, thinking of you. I was aller 14:08 gic to one of my chemo meds. They had to stop, send me to the er, then the next day I had to go back. Had to premeditated with benadryl and another med and before they started the chemo they premedicated via iv. Just made the whole day of chemo longer. Just keep on being brave and strong. The big picture is to get to the end. You are strong and you can do it!
.
Sending healing thoughts and prayers to you daily.
Jess yall are in our prayers.
Youâre so brave to put this out for all the world to see. I hope it helps you as much as I know it helps others dealing with the same lousy circumstances. Love to you đđđđđ
Jess †man your really kicking this nastiness in the but...we are with you all the way sweetheart UK ENGLAND đŹđ§ xxxxxxxxx
We are going through this with you and sending our love. Iâm sorry you have to go through this. You are being very brave. â€
I am so impressed with how brave and strong you are! My family and I are praying for you. â€â€
Jess so sorry you are going thru all of this thoughts are with you and your family love to all
I messaged this on your moms video: "Since smoothies are all jess can eat i would make sure you pack it full of protein to help keep her going! †you can search replacement proteins online. For example: chia seeds, spinach, avocado, nuts, tofu......there are tons of options! You can also get in touch with a nutritionist and tell them what her stomach can handle (smoothies atm) and they can help make sure she's getting the right nutrients. Also something to look into is liquid IV. It is a hydration multiplyer electrolyte power. Amazing for dehydration! đâ€"
wishing you all the best jess x
You got this Jess! Youâre so brave and doing a great job †sending hugs xxx
Praying for you Jess!!â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžđ
Oncology nurses are the best! So glad you hooked up with the best of the best. Speaking from personal experience here. I found that when feeling at my worst it helps to remember that chemo is just a chemical poison that's killing the cancer. Unfortunately it attacks the good you too, but the that just means the chemo is working. The worse you feel, the cancer is getting hit the hardest. You're going into this with a strong disposition, a strong family and friends, and a great big world out here pulling for, and with you.
You are so strong, Jess! We are praying for you!
Hugs and caring. You are on a hard path, but you will make it. đ€
Praying for you Jessica! Thank you for the weekly update!
