@@vegassurvivor2745 It's clearly explained on that page: "Although they have medical insurance that we hope will cover a bulk of the costs, there will be a significant out of pocket cost as they fight to find the best possible treatment options. For those in the plant-based community, you know Brian will be in charge of preparing ALL of Jessica's meals with only the BEST organic produce to flood her body with phytonutrients, which will certainly result in increased grocery bills. They are also looking into a potential stay at TrueNorth Health Center in California as Jessica prepares for treatment. Following surgery, it was confirmed that despite their best efforts to make it work, the doctor who operated on Jessica is not "in network" for her insurance. Because she came in through the ER and was treated at a hospital that is "in network," we have been assured there won't be any issues with the coverage for her initial surgery and hospital stay, but after her June 22nd follow up appointment, any visits to this doctor would be considered "out of network" and not covered AT ALL by insurance. Because of this, they are currently searching for the right doctor to help fight the cancer in the best way possible, and have expanded their search beyond St. Louis in hopes of finding the perfect fit. There will likely be a lot of travel costs associated with her treatment. It is going to be a long road ahead, but Jessie and Brian are remaining strong as they put together a plan and get ready for battle. Anything you can contribute will go directly towards these expenses, and we can't thank you enough for your generosity at this difficult time."

@@cindyshepherd2208 That’s horrific. Unfortunately, you’re right. I’ve red that it’s actually quite common that a man will leave their spouse when they get sick. It’s more common this way around. It’s really sad. 😔

In 2005 I was diagnosed with Stage 1C2 ovarian cancer at the age of 42. Up to that point I was completely healthy and I passed all my yearly exams with flying colors. I started to have back discomfort which then radiated to the abdomen. The CT scan revealed a mass on my right ovary. I was scheduled to see the surgeon on Monday and during the weekend the pain continued to intensify greatly. I kept calling my OBGYN about the pain and she kept telling me to take the pain pills and hang on til Monday morning. By Monday morning I could barely stand. The surgeon took one look at me and rushed me into surgery. My ovary had ruptured. He was so infuriated with my OBGYN that he called and screamed at her for not listening to me when I told her how bad my pain was and that my abdomen had become hard. I had a complete hysterectomy and six rounds of chemotherapy. I was able to get through that difficult time because of my strong Christian faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. He provided me with great comfort. I also looked on the bright side of things. When I suffered nausea from the chemo I joked that it was a way to keep my calorie intake low and didn't have to worry about weight gain. Ive always struggled with my weight my entire life. This was the one time in my life I did not think about weight gain. When I lost my hair from the chemo. I celebrated by buying fun wigs. I looked on the bright side of things like never having a bad hair day. Was excited how fast I could shower when I didn't have to shave my legs or wash my hair. Celebrated how smooth my skin became during chemo. I really tried to focus on the positive things and was thankful for everything. When one is faced with cancer your perspective of what is really important in life changes. Everything that I worried about in the past I came to realize was not important at all. Spending time with loved ones became so important. At the time I was a Pediatric Intensive Care Nurse and I learned a lot from my patients. Little kids are always happy and see the joy and wonderment in everything. They can feel awful one moment but the second they even start to feel slightly better they are happy and wanting to go to the playroom. So I tried to emulate them. Patients who have a positive attitude do so much better and I was determined to do everything in my power to have a good outcome. So I trained myself to see the positive side to everything and it worked. So to sum this all up. My time with cancer was not the funnest time in my life but it certainly was not the worst time either. It put a lot of things into perspective that I still carry with me today. I have been cancer free for 17 glorious years. You can do this Jessica. Look how brave you are with making You Tube videos and how people can be so cruel and mean with their comments. I personally think that is way scarier than cancer. You are one strong woman and I have no doubt you will come through this journey with flying colors. I know just how scary this can be but you've got this girl!!!

I was diagnosed with Ovarian cancer in 2012 I was 26 years old. I went to the ER my bp was 210/168 when I got there they took me straight back did all kinds of tests. The doctor came back in and told me I was in total kidney failure and I had a huge tumor crushing me. I was transferred to a bigger hospital where I had emergency surgery to remove a 11lb cancers germ cell tumor. I started chemotherapy a month later. I did 3 rounds of chemotherapy and I’m 10 years cancer free. I have a lot of long term health issues from the chemotherapy and the tumor crushing me for who knows how long. I just had a hysterectomy because I was still having issues and because of my cancer risk. Praying for y’all you will get through this it’s just a bump in the road. I look back at how far I have come. The doctors told my parents if I didn’t go to the ER when I did I would not be here today. God will help you get through this.

Hi Sweetheart. I had ovarian cancer in 2011. I went through the surgery and chemotherapy. Here it is 11.5 years later and I am still cancer free. I was 52 at the time. You and I are actually lucky because our bodies told us something was seriously wrong. Your’s was pain, mine was the size of my tumor (huge). There was no ignoring those signs. Many people have no noticeable symptoms until it is in an unstoppable stage. I am sending the most healing thoughts and prayers your way! Stay as strong and positive as you can. Of course there will be times when you are depressed, angry, or scared. That is so normal considering the weight of this diagnosis. That is when your wonderful supportive family and friends will be there to hold you and lift you up. Always feel free to reach out and be honest. If there is one thing I learned from my cancer, it is that life is too short to not be honest and able to open up to your loved ones and them feel free to do the same. It changed all of us for the better!

I'm so hopeful that you'll be relieved of pain now and that the journey will only be upwards. Best wishes.

It isn't unusual at stage 3/4. Early diagnosis is rare since it can be so silent. My sister was diagnosed stage 4 as she was having such congested feeling/difficulty breathing (there was cancer cell filled fluid surrounding her lungs as it turned out). The week before that she had been running marathon distances with no issues (she was a serious runner).

Stay strong. I had stage 3 cancer with a high grade tumour( s). I had my bladder and uterus removed at the age of 49 ( too young for bladder cancer apparently 😐) That was 12 years ago and after that major op and some chemo, life is GOOD and I am 12 years cancer free.

I looked over the blood results. 2 were within 1-3 points from being high and 1, 2 points from being low. I researched and they ALL had the pancreas in common. CT showed a mass in the tail of her pancreas. Biopsy showed suspicious mucosa(pre cancerous cells). The oncologist was great. Already being on an all organic diet, the nutrition nurse said she would do great. They took the tail of pancreas, and spleen. If I hadn't have been vigilant with her blood results, that silent timebomb would still be growing. Always do your own research if you think they are missing something.

There was a lot of breast cancer (in dad's side of family). My sister then got diagnosed at 43 with ovarian cancer and got genetic testing. Turns out we have a BRCA1 mutation. I got tested and was positive for the mutation, so I had my breasts removed preventatively at 32 years old. I still have my ovaries, but I should probably have them removed also (I'm 52 now).

Love the reminder to 'get it checked'! Also - should a person spit/cough up ANY blood, go straight for an x-ray via the doctor. I nearly didn't, but a friend insisted and it saved my life. (Well the surgery did, and my lung lobe - the one that remained on the left side - expanded a bit so I have 90% of my previous lung capacity. Grateful!) Wishing you a good recuperation, Jessica.

So sorry to hear about this ... but it sounds like your doctors are on top of it.... You ARE young & healthy, I hope your recovery and the trajectory of your recovery is smooth. I'm a lot older than you and had a cyst on an ovary (thankfully, not malignant) and I remember that fear ... I had to have a full hysterectomy due to fibroid tumors and they removed one ovary when I was 40. I actually wish they'd removed both at that time to negate the fear of Ovarian cancer once and for all .. but I was kind of a mess and didn't think about that. Just keep thinking good thoughts, taking care of yourself and seeking the best care you can get. XXX

Oh my! I am so sorry to hear the news. :( My husband was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer that has spread to his lymph nodes and bones. Prognosis is not good at that stage. He's not even 50 years old yet. It has been extremely stressful and emotional for the both of us. He's been really good with changing his diet, though, and has the spirit to fight this tooth and nail. I wish you the strength to do the same, Jessica! You will pull through this! Wishing you both all the best.

But even though he tried to hide it and stay strong for me...I think his pain was more painful than my own. You both got this, your love is strong and will get you through ❤

Thank God you had pain so that your attention could be brought up to it and you could get it in time and remove it for good! 🙏🏼❤️

This takes me back years to when I was 40 (I'm 76 now). I'm in the UK and for 2 years my GP treated me for IBS - the pain came every 3 or 4 months and wasn't obviously linked to my cycle. In fact my ovarian cyst had attached itself to my bowel - on one occasion I fainted from the pain. When they opened me up I also had a cyst on my right ovary! They gave me a full hysterectomy followed by about 10 years on HRT. I was so happy to have that op, and say goodbye to that pain.

I'm so sorry. :'( This was a very big announcement... A very life changing event, and you shared it with everyone. I commend you for your strength right now. You can really see the love you two have for each other, and it's very heartening. We are all here for you as well. I'm sending you blessings & hugs.💖

Hearing you talk about your experience before surgery, and then right after when you woke up, made me tear up. I had a hysterectomy just a year and half ago, and I had the same experience waking up. Just wanting our rocks to be there for us. I'm praying super super hard for you. So much love your way.

God Bless you. My Mom was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and uterine cancer simultaneously at age 38 while I was a high school junior and I remember it all like it was yesterday. It was tough on her no doubt. Those were scary times no doubt. However, I am 50 now and she is 72 and going strong! Please know you are in my prayers and that you will triumph and be a beacon of hope for others.

Hello....everything you are going through completely mirrors what my wife and i went through in 2017 when she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. i really feel for you guys as i recognize every step and thought we had. i want to say to brian to keep doing what you are doing...the support you are giving is invaluable to her...im proud of you. i wouldnt wish this journey on anyone....thoughts and prayers for strength.

your wife’s situation was unique to her unfortunately- but this girl clearly 👧 has gynaecology problems and not pancreatic by the sounds of it ….

I’m so sorry for what you’re going through. I can’t imagine how scary that must be. Hang in there

Jessica and Brian, I have watched your videos but never commented. After watching today’s video and seeing how open you are about inviting us into your most personal experiences, it feels wrong to watch without commenting and sending you support. You both mean so much to your viewers and I know we are all wishing for Jessica’s full recovery. I hope you feel bathed in love and healing energy.

There are no words that can express how much my heart feels for the two of you. Bravery and love. Fear and gratefulness. So many emotions will touch you both moving forward but the bond between you will conquer them, nurture them and allow grace to fill your heart's. Don't waste time on trying to understand the "why". Square your shoulders, lift you head and look the beast square in the eye and kick its ass. We all will be here to cheer you on. Love from me. ❤💯

I am a cancer survivor. Keep talking and sharing, express your fears and your thoughts because saying then out loud removes some of your anxiety. I also sympathize with your pain, you handled it much better than I did, so good for you. It will make you mad and sad , but the way you are choosing to share it is a good approach and you will need a very large support network for the next year or two. Know that every person who has ever heard those words has had your emotions, felt your fear, and questioned why me, why now? But in the heat of my fight, I focused on the phrase that God gave me this life because I am the one strong enough to live it. He is there, leading a lot of valuable people into your life’s path, so be grateful and live your very best life every day. I’m praying for you and Brian both.

Did you know that June 5 was officially your first National Cancer Survivor's Day? It's the first Sunday of each June and will have extra special significance for your journey. Now you have joined us in Survivorship, and we will collectively celebrate our victories every June! You've got this!

This was so incredibly brave of you to share and to go through. It also proves that women are just the toughest people out there. Sending all the love and prayers for nothing but blue skies and good news for you both. Y'all have been a calming presence in my life the last few years and I'm honored you let us in on this journey with you. ❤️

Sweet girl, everything is going to be ok, hang in there and know we are with you! (Hugs)

My heart goes out to you. I got a breast cancer diagnosis last September... it's such a shocking diagnosis. May your guardian angels guide and keep you in their loving care. Prayers for you and your family. Walk your WFPB path even more faithfully from here on out.

I’m so sorry to hear you’re going through this. You telling your story and being open is going to help so many. Your channel has helped me so much through the years. Please keep ups updated and I will keep you guys in my prayers.

I wish you a speedy recovery from surgery and a good prognosis going forward.

Oh, Jessica. All my love to you at this time. Sounds like you've got good doctors, and a good support system around you. Much love. Rest well.

Sending prayers for a fast recovery. Hugs and warm wishes to both of you.

Oh my goodness, you guys.... I’m so bone deep sorry this is happening. Praying for wisdom, strength, peace, and grace as you go boldly where so few would be willing to take us. May your transparency and courage serve to buoy your spirits as you begin to see even a fraction of your impact SO FAR. Believing good things for you both!

Well said i.e.Presents, 100%

I’ve been worried… thank you for the update. I’m glad Brian is by your side. Just know the Lord is with you both during this process. Praying that the Lord will give guidance and peace. Love you guys💕🙏🏻

Jessica and Brian, I am so glad you’re on the other side of this procedure and that you have great family support, great doctors and nurses to take you through the rest of the journey. It’s amazing how this changes your KZread presence. I think you are going to be even more proactive in continuing a healthy lifestyle and encouraging all of us to do the same. Thank you for allowing us to see your journey. Brian, you are the kind of husband that any wife would want by their side. Your strength gave Jessica strength to get through the pain and surgery. I hope you both can get some sleep, although I know that is difficult in a hospital. And I also hope that Jessica’s pain is way down.

Dear Jessica and Brian, You are right to share because other people are going through the same types of things. I was diagnosed last June with Cancer. With the support of a great team of doctors, my amazing husband and my friends and family supporting me all the way through treatment, I am currently cancer free. Just hearing that word the first time is so incredibly shocking. Sending hugs and prayers.

This is my first time I’ve ever seen a video of you guys. I believe it was fate that I seen it in my feed. You are amazing. Knowing what your body is doing and the different feelings is amazing. Stay in tune to your body and it’ll tell you what it needs. Cancer was found and removed and I pray that GOD has his hands on your surgeons and they got it all. STAY TRUE TO YOU AND YOUR BODY. SHARE THIS FOR ANY AND EVERY ONE TO SEE. ❤️

I've watched you guys occasionally but am especially drawn to how close you two are. it's pure, genuine an rare. this news has me rattled, so sad and upset for you. funny how KZread can bring people's lives together. I care. I'm Catholic so have a super strong devotion to the holy rosary. I'll be praying rosaries for you guys and continue to follow the process. love and hugs from a grandma in Kentucky

I admire your courage in documenting this and sharing it so openly with us. It's a privilege to support you, and I know I'm not alone in feeling that way. I'm sure many other Krock Pots feel the same. I am sending you all the vibes for gentle healing and for compassion towards yourself as you absorb and navigate this news and the news that lies ahead. We are here for you. You are not alone. Brian, you have been an absolute rockstar in every way. Please take care of yourself too. Sending you both lots of love.

i went through something similar at age 36. cervical cancer solved by a radical hysterectomy. changed my life, and weirdly, for the better. i too was free from issues up until hearing that i had cancer. i had such peter pan syndrome that i was in disbelief, and felt humiliated. found out that humiliation is an opportunity for growth, which i experienced, and for that i am thankful. my thoughts are with you guys. glad you have each other, and such a wonderful loving family.

I found you guys three years ago. I've always loved your style and quirky humor. You made weight loss and lifestyle change seem attainable with a good dose of laughs and fun added in. You guys have the support of so many people you've never even met. You are so brave, Jessica, even when it doesn't feel like it. We love you and support you

My heart sank watching your last video because the symptoms you were describing were exactly what my mom described. 16 years after surgery and chemo she's still totally fine though and she's in her early 80s so I'm convinced you got this too! I'm so glad you listened to your body and got help.

Even though the results are not what you and we would have all hoped, I’ve been impressed with the way you advocated for yourself at the beginning, something I would not have done at your age. Prayers for your recovery and good outcome. Thank you for letting us in on this, as your audience very much cares about you two. My experience has been that it is very helpful to have an outside medical resource to bounce things off of and to advocate for the patient, so I hope there is someone like that in your life. Hugs.

I’m praying for you Jessica. And for Brian. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Keep an eye on your ca-125. My mom’s went down like crazy when the chemo started to work. I’m so sorry sweetheart. But we’re all here praying for you and sending our love 💗

Sending you love, prayers and a speedy recovery 🙏🙏🙏🙏. I know you are gonna be fine 😉. You guys are blessed with knowledge about plant based eating which most people in your position are not. That's a great advantage that will help you along this journey. Thank you for sharing with all of us 🙏❤

You two are such a beautiful couple. I'm so glad the surgery was successful and you are doing better. You are a strong young woman and I just know that your recovery will easy and quick. 💗

I know you will beat this cancer and have a full recovery. Sending love, prayers and positive thoughts to you and Brian.

Watching you here in the UK, I wanted to send you my best wishes for a full recovery. You are very brave sharing your story with everyone and you and Brian are the sweetest of couples. I will be thinking of you both xxx

Thank you so very much for sharing. It means a lot to me - I am two years into my diagnosis. It is how I found you guys. I grew up in the Midwest and food was the focal point of my rural family - not to mention - my date to the prom -so your experience of the logic of plant based not making immediate emotional sense has always resonated with me. My oncologist told me to go plant based to help give the medicine a boost. You guys and my diagnosis have actually helped clarify what I need to do, and there is good in that. Not that there is anything good about cancer. But it is what has been laid in our laps. Now we find the good. The way forward. You are surrounded by love - both of you. That’s the best medicine. You will be given loads of advice - but all I can say is - once the treatment plan is in place - simplify your lives as much as you can. Whatever annoying things on your to-do lists that have survived the great pandemic clearinghouse, now is the time to kick them to the curb. Just make sure it’s on trash day. ❤️

From thinking maybe a stone to cancer and then still wanting to tell/share the story, that's very cool. It might help someone like you mentioned who was afraid to check a pain out or putting something big off. I'm still newish here, I don't know you guys yet but wow, what a great thing to have your hubby and your mom. Sending all the well wishes to you. PS: Sorry to hear about your grandparent passing as well. Lots and lots of good wishes your way. Until next update, Cheers, Ivy.

When I had my ovaries removed, it was supposed to be laparoscopic and take 20 minutes. They had to open me up, and I was in surgery for four hours. Between that, complications that had me back in the hospital within 24 hours, and the instant menopause, it was quite the wild ride.

I am so sorry that happened to you. I had to go back in for another surgery and they took my other ovary after discovering endometrial cancer with the pathology report. I can't have HRT and I am 4 week post op from them taking it.

So sorry ...I had the same situation. Took a week for the instant menopause...best thing for me was 2 years of hormones.

"Morphine is so goooood" I remember feeling that when my appendix blew up in my 40s. I completely get why folk could get addicted to that. It doesn't actually take away the pain but it makes you relax and you don't care any more - which is a real help. So sorry to hear that your diagnosis was at the worse end of the range of possibilities. Most cancers don't grow fast so remember that this likely started a long time ago and now it's out your healthy diet should be a real help. Best wishes.

Medication doesn’t cause addiction. Those who suffer from addiction, it’s not caused by medication, the medication is why they are using to self medicate something else not being treated. Anxiety, mental illness, trauma, a learning disability etc. They have began to realize many adults who have been diagnosed with bipolar are actually autistic, and have self medicated not fitting in, trouble at work, their job, etc. 40% of people in jail are thought to be autistic and or have a learning disability. The CDC actually just admitted that they were wrong by placing all of these limitations on prescribed pain medication. What they did was actually cause a bigger issue by misplacing the blame . If someone has an illness or disability that needs pain medication or anxiety medication, and they are not given it, they are pushing people to the streets where they are buying fake medication laced with fentanyl, that has been brought here from China and Mexico. These people are still not addicts for going to the street for medication. They are treating what they can’t get prescribed which has led to accidental overdoses . This includes combat veterans, the elderly and disabled . While prescribed pain medication went down almost 40% , overdoses went up 400% . They make the problems worse. Less than 2% of people prescribed pain medication will ever deal with addiction or misuse. . The damage this stigma has caused has cost people their lives. The things said to pain patients, disabled, or people going through an illness, by family, doctors, or friends, that are based on misinformation, opioid phobia, etc. Are deterring people from accepting pain medication or advocating for themselves to have their pain treated . This has led to cardiac issues from uncontrolled pain, elevated heart rate, blood pressure AND the body does not heal properly of pain is not treated after surgery, during an illness, or painful condition. It puts stress on the body. When women are pregnant, it’s actually advised by doctors who Haven’t went down the opioid phobic road , that expecting mothers who were on pain medication, continue on it because the stress to the baby from the moms pain not being treated is more dangerous. There are ways to make sure the baby is ok as well when delivered. I hope people can start to move away from the addiction and pain medication connection. Addiction is someone self medicating SOMETHING. The substance itself does not cause addiction. If that were the case. Liquor stores would be illegal. Alchohol prohibition caused more problems. How come everyone who’s bought alchohol are not alcoholics ? Because that’s not what caused them to be addicted, it’s the substance they used. The gabaprentin they are giving to everyone instead of real pain medication is actually harder to get off of ,causes serious issues cognitively, permanent memory issues, and there are lawsuits against it. It literally stops the brain from making new snapses . People are more dangerous driving on gabaprentin than real pain medication. It’s similar to drinking and driving. And people who try to go off of it have terrible issues, so they think it’s helping because they get worse trying to stop taking it. Let’s encourage people to get their pain treated, and try to not mention addiction. Or any guilt or worry of a risk because they need it. There are people who deal with shame for needing pain care. I do advocacy in the disability community for pain patients. We have people who are no longer here because they are denied medication, or have refused it due to the stigma, or a family member making them feel like an addict , or they feed into the idea they could become addicted and suffer needlessly. There are people who don’t intend to do this . Or do it out of lack of knowledge that this is such an issue with the stigma

@@tastyrecipesonabudget1689 hello what u saying so true.i have fibromyalgia and arthritis and have spinal fusion and that isn't even everything. I couldn't believe some of things doctors have said to me .I spoke with a retired doctor he said alot of them don't care.well since they don't care I don't care to give them my money to be treated badly.take.care

Jessica, I am so sorry. I don’t even have the words to say everything I hope for you. I will try. I hope you heal quickly from your recent surgery. I hope you have peace during a time that is so confusing, stressful scary. I hope you get all the answers you need quickly and whatever needs to be done in terms of treatment also comes quickly. I can’t imagine. I will say though, you did give me a chuckle at the beginning of the video when you said the thing about the potatoes - I was thinking the same thing after I watched the part one to this video! You got this girl! And you have Brian and this beautiful community that you both created to give you strength and support you along the way!

I just love you, Jessica. You have been an inspiration to me. I’m so sorry you are going through this tough time. Please know that I’m praying for you both. And your families. I just watched Brian talking to the camera about how he’s taking care of you the best he can, and of COURSE we know he is! I’m so thankful that you guys have each other while going through this valley. Much love from nan ❤️😘 (in northern Illinois)

God bless you both. My prayers are with you and your family. I was diagnosed with cancer last May, 2021. I was just like you in having a hard time understanding that I had cancer. During my treatment, no one was allowed to be with me because of the restrictions with covid. I'm so glad you are able to have the support around you. Here I am a yes later. I have gone through chemo and radiation after first having surgery. I'm starting to get my strength back. I pray your journey is easy and you recover quickly. God bless you

Omg I’m sooo sorry, hugs and prayers…I honestly, broke down, and cried, after watching this…!!! Hang in Jess, you’re on your way,to recovery. And with Bri, by your side, he’s awesome, you’ll be back, to your great self, in no time!!! 💔😱😢🙏🏻❣️❤️🌞

Jessica and Brian, I'm so glad that you have each other to lean on. Telling your story will help many, and possibly save lives. To say "Thank you" hardly seems enough. Your bravery, openness, and love for others is beautiful. You've got this, Jessica! Praying for you, Brian, your mom, and the whole family! 🙏

I'm so sorry, Jessica. This must be really hard for you to fathom. It sounds like they caught it early enough to where you have a great prognosis for the future. Lots of well wishes coming your way, and a huge shoutout to Brian for taking such good care of you and being your rock when he is so scared, too.

I've had breast cancer. Hopefully it is gone, and time will tell. You've suffered a lot with this! I'm glad there are answers. Please keep us posted. 🥰

Jessica, upon seeing your journey and watching your videos, let me say, you are definitely a rock star. When I was 20, I went through the same thing, except the mass was on the right ovary and tube. I am so very sorry for this excruciating pain your experiencing. It’s the worst pain. There is no way to get comfortable, and I was willing to stand on my head if necessary!!!! Morphine is fabulous after hours of that pain. My tumor was bigger than a grapefruit, and my tube, which is the size of your little finger, was now the size of a quarter. After surgery, we finally got the pathology report back, and it was benign. My daughter had a terminal brain tumor in 2018. They agave her 3 months, and she’s still here doing fine. Don’t lose hope, where there is a will, and you have that, God will provide. Blessings 🙏🙏🙏💕

As I wrote on a previous video, my daughters and I have had surgery on our ovaries. I did have ovarian cancer-2009, and my daughter had endometrial ovarian cancer. She had surgery and no one suspected cancer until the path report. She then went to an ONC/GYN surgeon who performed a de bulking surgery. Chemo was recommended for her-2021. It is a shock to say the least. I know how your mom must be feeling. Sending hugs and prayers your way.

You got this girl! We are all sending hugs and positive thoughts!!

"bad things don't happen to me." Only very young people say that Jessica. Bad things happen to all of us. In a way, it's kind of nice for your bad thing to happen here and now, when and where you can handle it with strength and resilience, and tell a story of a bad thing with a good outcome. Immunotherapies are going to save you and all of us and you can show the way.

From the moment I clicked on the video, I instantly thought you might have a mass of some sort. My mom had cancer and had no symptoms until she had unexplained bloating, side and shoulder pain, and nausea. I’m SO sorry you’re going through this. Sending you so much love ❤️

I’m so sorry to hear this☹️ That was such a special moment seeing you with outside with your family. You have love around you and I wish the best for you! High five to Brian for bringing in Peef👍

Praying for you, Jessica. Stay strong!

It's amazing how much pain a growth on an ovarian can produce and between the nausea and vomiting is incredibly debilitating. I've had 2 episodes involving my ovaries, one was a dermoid cysts the other was when the remaining ovary twisted causing blood supply to be cut off causing the ovary to swell to the size of a cantalope; and each time, the symptoms are very much the same as what you went through; and the morphine pain meds only lasted me about 20 - 30 minutes before I was literally begging for more, it only went away after they did the surgeries to remove them. I was very fortunate to have neither be diagnosed as cancer either time. You are in my thoughts and prayers for a speedy cure and recovery! You got this! This is so treatable these days!
