I found out I had lung cancer in 2017. I found out by going for my simple one year physical exam. I had a routine chest X-ray. The tech came out and asked me how long I had the growth in my right lung. The fun began! I went to Emory to see a pulmonologist. Then I had an appointment with a thoracic surgeon. He recommended aggressive surgery to remove the tumor. I couldn’t believe I had lung cancer because I’ve never smoked. I requested a pet scan to prove it was cancer. The tumor was in my right upper lobe and boy did it light up which proved it was cancer. I found a surgeon that did VATS because I didn’t want my chest cracked open. So on 2/27/17 I had surgery to remove the upper right lobe which contained the tumor. I was in intensive care for 7 days with a chest tube. The chest tube was so painful! The bad news was that when I was home in recovery my surgeon called me and said 3 of the lymph nodes they had taken out showed cancer. My surgeon decided that I would have a CT with contrast once a year. My 5th ct in being done 8/18/22. I’ve been single for 15 years so my daughter goes with me for moral support. Wish me continued success. I found your channel and wanted to support you. I’m 68 now was 62 when it was first found.✝️❤️💕

I will never understand why this sweet girl had to go through this. Will miss you forever Jenny💗

I love how Kyle looks at you, listens to you, take to you, loves you and how you look at him with pure love back. Teamwork here is real and you will get through this together.

I've had 3 echoes. I've never been attacked with a brillo pad(?) and no one had ever pushed so hard with the wand to hurt me. Please speak up, Jenny. One thing I've learned as I've gotten older is that you have to be your own advocate. Nicely, of course, but she needs to know! If not for your own comfort, think of the poor next person in your shoes. You & Kyle are just the best!💖

Its really important to be honest on your experiences, not just when they are testing you but also the experience during the test. Those nurses that dont get a complaint about their technique, will not know they are doing it wrong. Patients are the key for patient care and when people are being "nice" and dont want to "complain" will only hinder the care you really need. Trust me, your not complaining if you mention your concerns. As long as your concerns are constructive and considerate, it will be received well and that person can learn. Even if she says that this is the way to do it for accurate results, then request another nurse who doesn't need that much force (because you experienced that before and the results were not hindered by that technique) Dont be afraid to speak up!! This is your health!

I have had ECG 's and have never been scrubbed , she seems like a brute. You seem like a genuinely gentle sweet person but you have to stick up for yourself. These people are supposed to be caring, they shouldn't be hurting you. I am so sorry for what you are being put through.

I’m a nurse, I’ve had numerous echocardiograms, you absolutely NEED to call and ask to speak with her supervisor and let them know of her technique. It MUST be addressed. She needs to learn to be more gentle. The same with the abrasive pad. It is uncomfortable but shouldn’t be so painful. Addendum: also, as a health care professional, I would be appalled to find out I had been unintentionally hurting someone and would 100% want to know. Any ethical health care professionals would feel the same way. It was negligent on her part 1. Not to take note of your non verbal cues that you might be in pain and 2. Negligent to not ask you about pain/comfort during the procedure.

No, no, no! Say “ouch!!” You are entitled to give feedback. Next time, think of all of us supporting you to say that it hurts! ❤️

Oh my goodness... I cry with you and I laugh with you! You guys are so real and fun. You make me feel like part of your family (I'm 70). God bless you all...I continue to lift you in prayer.🙏❤

I would request to never have her again Jenny. I have had a few echocardiograms myself. There is definitely no need for it to hurt that bad. Brillo pads, that is crazy. So sorry for your suffering Jenny.💜💜💜💜

If she is hurting you, she is hurting others as well. She needs feed back. I’m so sorry.

I’m a nurse and I’ve had several echo’s. You should not be that miserable for an echo. I agree with your hubby…. “ ow!! That hurts!!” You are such an inspiration, Jenny! Truly! Your positive attitude is fabulous!! Also (“ they don’t know how unathletic you were before this”) made me laugh out loud!

Clearly she is very Heavy Handed. That is awful when you already hv cancer and pain. Some people are very rough. Definitely needs mentioning. Oh Jenny it adds insult to injury, plus the Tachycardia, then Hot water! You know, that sense of humour will carry you through. Laughing is the best medicine. Anyway onwards n upwards. You are so Brave, you both are. 🙏

Jenny you need to tell them if their hurting you. Thoughts are with you, you’ve got this, hang in there!

Omg this was the best thing I’ve ever seen, Jenny giggling about the hot water. I love her, lol. I can’t even imagine how Kyle feels when I’ve known this lady *online* for half a year and watch old videos because I miss her… poor Kyle & kids.

Sorry she put u in more pain ,the woman needs be told she’s being rough. She has no clue it’s hurting, It’s ok to say something sweetie. Don’t suffer like again like that plz So proud of you you’re doing great, your strong , you will beat this Cancer Plz stop saying” my can cancer” Don’t claim it, it’s ur enemy ,that u will beat ! Cancer get out of her !!!! Jenny your a survivor God bless you n strengthen you give u peace in ur heart You’re awesome ❤️ Rachel in Texas 🤗

I am a nurse and we are here to offer comfort. Everyone else should do that too. Love and healing to you ❤️

Jenny, there is definitely no need for it to hurt. I know how hard it is to speak up because I am the same way. But I have learned over the years, that I have to advocate for myself no matter how uncomfortable it may feel. Being able to speak to all of my providers has made my health journey & mental wellness, so much better. I love the ways your hubby supports you....it's beautiful! My hubby does too, but in different ways. I really wish my hubby could throw in emotional support too, but sadly its just not who he is. I do appreciate all he does to support me & my journey....our journey. I have a lung biopsy on Aug 15th to see what the mass is in my right lung. I'm trying not to think about what it could be. My prayers are with you for your broncoscopy & every day as well. Hang in there my friend. You are stronger than you realize. 🤗💗💗💗

Omgosh!!!! Jenny, she was being awful to you!! She needs to be watched! That is so mean! Definitely talk to your doctor!

I’m so sorry that you and your husband have to go through all this crap. I’m an old lady, 67 years old and it saddens me to hear/see young people like yourselves going through this. I believe that your state of mind is very important and as far as I’m concerned you two are in the right place. I will keep you in my prayers 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️✌🏻

I like you Jenny. 😍 Your full of spunk. Your never give up, and your such a strong woman. Keep that smile, and laugh Jenny.

Beautiful Jenny , my heart goes out to you darling. You are a precious Soul and you must tell them when it Hurts or it's uncomfortable sweety. This is YOUR LIFE AND BODY. you been going threw alot already and you deserved all the Love and care and compassion threw this journey also Tell them please sweetheart. I'm praying for you ... God bless your wonderful hubby too what a true GEM HE IS 🥰🥰🥰🥰💞💕💞💕🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞. HUGS from Tampa Bay Florida . Love Milly

I would strongly encourage you to say “ow” or something when a health care worker hurts you unnecessarily. You are completely in the right. There is no reason for you to suffer unnecessarily. You aren’t being rude or mean, you are simply saying that hurt you. And if the water is too hot, say something. You aren’t acting tough. You need to advocate for yourself ❤️❤️❤️

I love the sparkles in your eyes. You are such a special woman. You go girl! You’ve got this❤️

I will continue to keep you and your family in my prayers. You are one strong woman!! It was wonderful to see you laughing in the car at Kyle's jokes. Some days we have to look a little harder for the bright side but it is there. Keep fighting!

Awe you got this girl!! God is protecting you!

Jenny you're such an inspirational young lady who as giving strength to so many people. I sorry that your experience has caused you a great deal of discomfort, especially as your in so much pain. But now and then we sometimes need to be reminded that we're not always doing things correctly, and the best way to know that is through feedback. God bless you Jenny sending you all my strength and 🙏 prayers

Speak up, chica! Let 'em know they're 2 rough (maybe they do not know). We are (all) praying for great news. The good news Gods please come forth.

Omg Jenny don’t let them hurt you…I agree with your husband to say something ….you are so strong and I so enjoy your videos……you are the best…..xo

Jenny, I pray for you each day and I am sorry some people just lack kindness . God Bless you and your wonderful family! 🙏🙏🙏❤️

I can imagine, you already feel somewhat out of control because of the cancer diagnosis. Having a nurse tech impartial to the pain and emotional stress you are feeling doesn't help. It's ok to let medical personnel know if they hurt you, or cause you stress! Self advocacy is the only thing you can control in those critical moments. For your own mental and emotional health. You deserve it. 😊

I broke my wrist and my fingers are swollen. I use a little olive oil on my finger and my ring comes off easily. Also, Kyle is so good at making you feel safe and comfortable. You have a sweet family. My prayers are with you.

You two are such a good pair. You compliment each other well. True teammates! I am so sorry that the nurse was rough with the wand. You are a rock star!

Wow Jenny you are so strong!! First let me say that I'm so happy and relieved that you got the ring 💍 off!! Now as for the wand jabbing nurse REQUEST FOR A DIFFERENT NURSE. The reason I say that is you've had the procedure done a few times by others and weren't put through the pain like this one has put you through. If you had experienced the same with all nurses than I'd say that it's a normal but painful process. Since it happened only with her the common denominator is HER. I'm praying for you to get a different one for the next time you have to do any testing 🙏.

Jenny,you are so brave and positively amazing...Kyle is wonderful and loves you so much💕I hope you can have a peaceful evening and enjoy being home with your family, and recover from this hard day! I hate everything hard you have to go through in addition to having cancer.The treatments and procedures can be so brutal! You are so loved,and all of your You Tube family is rooting for you!!! What an inspiration you are 💗❤️💜

Jenny you are truly a beautiful soul. I cannot imagine how difficult this is. Your strength & courage is everything !!!!!!!!!!

You are so brave, both of you. Prayers 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼

Jenny, you do not have to suffer through these tests! It is okay to yell, scream, say stop, you are hurting me! I will never understand why pharmaceutical companies can't discover something that will eliminate the pain of cancer. just saying.

Tell them when they hurt you!! There is no need in that.It doesn't mean you are a wimp or anything like that it is just plain and simple they don't need to hurt you!!! Just be honest with them and if they are rude you need to tell the doctor. I will be praying for you and your sweet family.God bless you and help you with your pain and battles.I will be praying for a complete full healing for you.God bless you.

you are such a warrior,and yes you are brave.nobody knows what you go threw until it happens to them or someone they know.prayers for you and i am here for you .

I’m glad that you got the ring off. Your finger looked so sore and with all you are going through you shouldn’t have to have added pain! ❤️😊

I know the hard thing is you have to continually adjust your life to modify the damage you feel each day and sometimes it just takes that one extra step at the doctor's office that throws your balance off. For me I have to rest every two hours and it's hard to even get out of bed. I think sometimes people don't realize that you have to recover from the tests too on top of the cancer. Hang in there! Don't beat yourself up about it. HUGS.

You are so fortunate to have such an amazing supportive husband. I can tell he truly loves you and is trying his best to be there for you in every way he can. Keep your head up! You’re doing great and you’re gonna beat this!

Always speak up for yourself! Don’t ever feel like you are burdening them.

Please speak up, tell the nurse when she hurts you. You are so kind! Continuous prayers your way! I can’t wait to hear your praise reports as You experiences your healing! You are such and inspiration! You and your family are amazing! God has a special plan for You for many years to come!!!

I’m so sorry you had to deal with that. I have had several echocardiogram’s over the years. Only one time did they use brillo pad and then push against bone to get results. Torture! That is just wrong. Hang in there. You’ve got this. ❤️

Jenny, your hubby is right! Just ask her if she needs to press so hard to get a better image. She may not realize how hard she is doing it and unfortunately may be doing it to all her patients! She needs to know that she hurts you (and prolly all her other patients) Please dont b discouraged at your shortness of breath...right now your lungs are sick...(both lungs)they are getting better though! One step at a time honey, one step at a time! You are a worrier! I know it was hard...but YOU DID IT! We are ALL PROUD OF YOU!

I’m sorry you felt discouraged today, Jenny. It’s a rough road for sure. Hopefully you’ll be feeling better soon as the inflammation decreases.I was just remembering yesterday how my dear departed Dad had to snip my ring off years ago.

Oh Jenny, I’m sorry the test and the nurse hurt you. You are so brave and now is the time to let her know that she is hurting you. No excuse for her causing you pain. You are going thru enough pain already, I pray for you that you will conquer this cancer and you never have to experience this again. I am so thankful that Kyle can be with you. He definitely is your hero!🙏🏻😘

Jenny I had the same experience when I had my test done on my heart. The lady hurt me so bad I finally told her to stop. She looked at me like I had no right to stop her. I was in pain for days after and very bruised as well until I heard your experience I thought maybe it was done that way as it was my first time having it done. I'm in Canada so it wasn't the same lady or was it. 😂😂 Sending you lots of love and hugs I'm getting through all of your videos I didn't realize you started out with rating food from different restaurants that was so cool. Take care and stay safe 🙂

Girl you are stunning in that green!! Sooo the experience you had with the echo was unacceptable. I’ve had that test as well and like the others it wasn’t uncomfortable at all. You can act surprised and be like “oh”!! Oh my I’m very tender….and hopefully she’ll apologise and be gentle. Scrubbing um no no nope nada. When you speak up just think of it as you being an advocate for those like the elderly and children who may need an echo one day and get her and they can’t speak up. Something like that a mind set change to help you get through that uncomfortable moment. Your a sweet kind woman with a gentle soul not wanting to hurt others feelings bless your heart Jenny! I’m sending prayers your way all the time and your always on my mind!! Remember girl….you got this!!!!

You are the customer, always remember that. God bless!

God bless you, strengthen, watch out for you, hold close and comfort you. Sending prayers for you and your husband.

Honey I agree with your husband, you should say when it hurst. Prayers going up for you . 🙏🏼

Kyle has such a fun personality along with his caring and loving personality. You are a beautiful couple. Always in my thoughts and prayers❤️

It’s amazing what an Apple Watch can do.At one time only Doctors could do these test.What a crazy world we live in.😳

Yes it does hurt and I would ask her to be easier because you have had it done other times and it didn’t hurt. God Bless you. Sending you prayers and hugs.

What a sense of humour 😂 im glad you could laugh, i bet Kyle like me was so angry at this woman, how many suffering heartbroken folk is she hurting?, yous have enough pain, i just love michael, a great companion for Kyle and Ellis, good role model, this cancer journey is a way of life now, no wonder you grieve your old life Jenny, it is so beautiful to see you cancer free and so happy in older videos, safe times, happy times. Love yous all ❤❤❤ 😊xxx

I'm sorry you are suffering. Your hubby is such a good guy.

So glad you slayed your test! Great job! Continuing to pray for you and your precious family. 👏🙏❤️

First of all, lol on the water story. That’s probably something I would do. Too polite to say anything so I would’ve just drank it! I’m so sorry that Nurse was not gentle with you. It’s unfortunate that some people don’t realize how their actions affect others. Especially when you’re going through something so difficult. Wishing you all the best with chemo next week and your test! We will all be thinking of you!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Ahhh sweetie. Sending love and hugs. You have such a great soul ❤️

Sending prayers and love ya bunches 💗

You’re an amazing woman! I wish you strength and I keep on praying.

Hi Jenny! I’m a nurse and personally would want to know if you’re uncomfortable or hurting! So don’t be afraid to speak up for yourself! You are very courageous and positive! I always look forward to your videos and have included you in my prayers! ❤️

Jenny, you must be your own advocate! Speak up when needed. There was no excuse for your ECG to be painful. Speak up girl! I love your laugh😄

Your in my thoughts always hugs to you and your family

Yes, the brillio pads hurt and so does the wand .it is painful! Usually they give me something in my vein to "light up" the heart. I'm praying for you.

Wishing you all the very best, Jen 🥰 Iris

Jenny please read your messages regarding your echocardiograms & please do as advised from those who have had it done. 👍🏻😉 I don’t even know you but that doesn’t matter just wanting you to know you are soO BRAVE & always look so gorgeous. I pray GODS HEALING HANDS on YOU 🙏🏻 -

Thanks for sharing I glad you got the ring off good luck with your test that are coming up

Hi Jenny, You are an inspiration and you make me at my great age to feel humble and lucky that I came across your channel. I pray for you and please tell the nurse when you’re hurting. No one can feel your pain but you and you can’t be too nice you have to advocate for your well-being. Aloha

Oh Jenny please let them know if something hurts.. i keep you always in my prayers.. 💗

So glad for this post. I think of you daily and pray for sustaining good results. Haven't heard anything from the Krocks, makes me worry for Jessica.

Jenny please speak up! Your husband is right "speak up" I work in Healthcare and you are your advocate with your health ❤️ You're so sweet but if something hurts or your uncomfortable let them know!

You can remove tight rings with string. Slip the end underneath the ring and wrap the string around your finger towards the tip. Then unwrap the string from the piece you put underneath. The ring will come off like it is working up a corkscrew. I've used this as a funeral director. I think there are some You Tube videos on it, too.

Great video as always Jenny, very real, raw experience with very real raw love ❤️ ❤️. Xx

you guys have so much Light and Love in your eyes ...its everyone can feel it from you . I know how hard it is to be so positive . you guys are amazing .. and Beautiful

You are a trooper speak up when they hurt you,lotion or baby oil will get your ring off!!!Prayers for you

Continued prayers for you!! You are the strongest woman I know!! I love that the fire department came to your house to help you! My dad is a retired firefighter, so I have a love for them!

I agree with your husband...you must tell them if they are hurting you! Absolutely! Be an advocate for yourself. Please. Also, they don't need to use a brillo pad to clean a spot for the sticky patches....they can use alcohol swabs to clean your skin of any oils so that the pads stick. I'm glad you got your rings off! I was going to suggest you just get your rings cut off...and it's an easy repair that doesn't cost much. I had that done a few years ago....opened the front door of an Arby's restaurant and while still holding onto the door, the door smashed open onto the outside wall, bending my rings so out of shape I couldn't remove them. Went to a jewelry store right away and they cut them off for me. Nothing like a little drama! ha! Sending prayers for you...all will be ok.

You need to be a advocate for yourself. If it hurts tell them. I’m a nurse and I would want to know so I could change my technique. We take a oath not to cause harm or unnecessary pain to our patients. Please stand up for yourself, some things hurt and some don’t. I would mention your your echo experience to your doctor. You should not feel discouraged. I would have left the cup of water! Lol 😂 Next time ask for cold water!!!!! God bless you you and your family are in my prayers . Your husband is the best !!!!!

Hi beautiful Jenny, I'm so sorry for your bad experience with that nurse. Gentle is the way to go. I'm sending you so much love and healing prayers always ❤️ 🙏 xxx

Just found you. Your an inspiration. God bless both of you and your drs. ❤️🇦🇺🙏

So sorry about the pain you've experienced. You should definitely address this problem with City of Hope administration. The tech who performed this procedure may need additional training. Take care.

Sending big love ❤️ to you and family.

The only way I can get my ring off when it swells like that is put something really oily on it. Ugh I hate you have to feel so much pain from that lady. You better speak up if that happens again. You are to sweet and precious. I laughed so hard when she gave you hot water lol.

What a horrible nurse!!! I’d say of the 99% of wonderful nurses I’ve had care for me, there was 1 nurse i seriously kicked her horrible self out of my rooms and told her to never come back! You are you best advocate and the only one who knows how your body feels. And sweet lady, if you report her you may be preventing her from hurting someone else. Always do the right thing even when it’s tough!

Follow you from England, you are both amazing. Prayers and love xxx

I just found your channel earlier today and have been binge-watching your videos ever since. I really appreciate your honesty and think it's wonderful that you are sharing your story. You seem like an amazing person and you have the most beautiful family. I am praying for you and your family and sending love your way.

I found hair conditioner gets my rings off easy peasy. Glad to know the fire department provides this service, too. Blessings to you. 🙏🏼

💜 please, please, advocate for yourself Jenny. It won’t always be easy, but there’s no reason to put up with medical staff making it worse for no apparent reason. Sadly, I’ve had to much experience with this. Thanks for sharing your feelings. 💜🙏🏻

Hi Jenny! You look fabulous!!! Rosy cheeked and glowing! Winnie’s video was precious. Thank you! I’m so sorry about the pain. I’m still praying every day! Happy to hear things are moving along. I’ll be praying about the bronchoscopy. Rest in God. God never fails. Love and hugs, Mary

Praying for you! 💖

Just let the manager or head nurse k ow about her treating you. I had it with a medication what was poked in and she just jammed it in and pressed it in my arm . Told the nurse and she got a lecture. Praying for you all!!

Jenny still praying. Things are going to be better.

I'd get this ladies name and when you book your apt, request anyone but her. You have every right not to have someone hurt you.

Please tell her to stop. That happened to me too, and I told her to stop. Don't e afraid to tell them that it hurts. They will get somebody else to do it.

So glad to see that beautiful smile back. Pretty sure you’d outrun me any day. Keep rebelling!

Good afternoon, You are both so cute and so strong as a couple. Jenny, courage and resilience well describe your path. Do not ever let go you have the best of person at your side. Despite what happens you remain so sweet and composed. The very best to you and I will go on listening to you.
