On Friday, June 3rd, 2022, I was diagnosed with cancer. At 36 years old, this was not something I was prepared to deal with, but here we are.
Earlier in May, I started having a pain in my lower abdomen, and after an ultrasound they found a complex adnexal mass in my left ovary. We made plans to schedule surgery, but after the pain intensified, a trip to the ER resulted in a 12 day hospital stay.
They were set to remove the mass on June 3rd and send me home the same day, but what they found in surgery was not something any of us expected. The mass, which turned out to be malignant, was not only in my left ovary but had attached itself to my uterine wall, cervix and the outside tissue of my bowel. It was also growing around, or encasing, my ureter, which is the line that passes urine from the kidney to the bladder. Because of my ureter’s involvement, I’ve had pain that mimics that of a kidney stone and also mild swelling of my kidney.
Unfortunately, they were not able to remove all of the cancer around my ureter, as it would have caused more damage than good. So at the moment, I cannot say that I am “cancer free.” Further treatment and possibly another surgery will be required, but we have a ton of unanswered questions as we wait for the final pathology report, which is expected this week.
I am still in quite a bit of pain post-surgery, and all of your well wishes and prayers are so appreciated.

Even if you don't believe in God. You will be taking to him a lot. Try and keep a good attitude and learn everything you can so you can make informed decisions concerning your care. Big hugs!! Also try and find the most knowledgeable doctors. That makes a HUGE difference too. Big Hugs!!! ❤️ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hey Jessica…. In 2010, after 6 months of surgical biopsies, I learned I had a stage 4 cancer…. Once they figured out what I had, they blasted me with chemo and it totally worked. Two years later, I noticed something was wrong and I was diagnosed with an early stage endometrial cancer. That was resolved surgically. It’s been 10 years since I’ve had cancer!!! You are young and have excellent support in all the important ways. You’ll do what you need to do and you’ll get to the point where you’ll do what I’m doing…. Saying you once had cancer and you’ll boost the spirit of those who are new to the experience. You’re going to be OK : )

Notes from a Cancer Servivor. 1. Let people give and do for you, it is their way of helping and show they love and care for you. 2. The american Cancer Society was a great support for me when I was battling cancer many years ago. They had a program which helped pay for housing near my treatment center. So I could travel a day or two before treatment and be rested and ready on treatments day, rather than getting up at dawn to drive for hours before all day treatments. 3. One day at a time, one task at a time. 4. Rest and Self care for you and Brian is so important- surround yourself with a good support system- Family and Friends.

Hang in there, Jessica. Cancer is a scary word but everyone's cancer journey is different. My mom was diagnosed with ovarian cancer stage 3C at the age of 39. This was in 1997 and treatment options were exceptionally limited. It was basically surgery and very toxic chemotherapy, that was it. I will tell you just from experience and from working in medicine that there are so many new targeted treatment options available as far a chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy, etc that are so much less toxic and don't cause as many side effects. And this goes for all different kinds of cancers not just ovarian, so if it turns out to be something else just know that there are treatment options. One thing I would recommend (and this was something that my mom was great at) is becoming a staunch advocate for yourself and your healthcare. What do I mean? Ask questions, ask as many questions as possible. If you don't like a doctor's answers, find a new one. Get as many second opinions as you want, go to a big cancer institution (MD Anderson, Mayo, UCLA, Memorial Sloan Kettering), ask about clinical trials. If you're in pain tell your doctor, if you're nauseated tell your doctor. Just advocate for yourself. As for those medical bills, because of the No Surprises Act which became law this year, the out of network surgeries or physicians/surgeons that you saw cannot be billed as out of network because this was an emergency situation and you would have no way of knowing those physicians or services being provided would be out of network. You also did not have a choice in the matter because again this was an emergency, so they CANNOT bill you as an out of network service. You're right that you will still owe your max out of pocket amount for the year, but don't let the hospital dick you around and say they are out of network. All you have to say is "No Surprises Act", and all hospitals are REQUIRED to follow this law or face hefty fines and penalties such as losing the ability to be reimbursed my Medicare/Medicaid. I know I'm a complete stranger, but I wanted to leave you some encouragement because your story resonated with me and I know my mom would have wanted me to show you some kindness and send support through the computer to you. Also, when she was diagnosed in 1997 she was given 6 months to live....she lived for 17 years. Doctors don't get to make that decision for you

I'm glad to have read your comment. I learned some things that I hope I never have to use. My mother was diagnosed with cancer in 1994 or 95 (she didn't tell me until 95) and she ended up with an out of network anesthesiologist that screwed up what little insurance she had. She had just changed insurance and to save money had dropped her cancer insurance. She and my dad spent a lot of time on the phone dealing with billing departments. Fortunately, the pharmaceutical company gave the drugs at no cost. She just had to pay for the administration of them. The local hospital told my mom as long as she was paying something, the bill collectors could do nothing (hospitals evidently automatically send their bills to collection agencies. My mom paid a little bit each month toward each bill. Eventually she realized one doctor stopped billing her - they evidently lost her files, so she never ended up paying them. It was a roller coaster, but they got through it. As an adult, as soon as I could add supplemental cancer insurance on top of my normal full medical, I did. I hope I never have to use it.

My family jokes that my cat is the reason my grandfather's cancer was caught! He took her outside, she got spooked, and he fell. He went to the doctor thinking he had a tailbone injury from the fall, but they determined that it was a rather large tumor putting pressure on other parts of his body. While his cancer was one that is difficult to treat, that intervention probably got us more time with him than we would've had otherwise.

@@sl4983 I’ve been out of oncology nursing for a long time. Everybody’s response to chemo is individual. It’s things you’ve heard of maintaining nutrition and hydration. They used to emphasize protein, and I’m confident a plant based diet can provide enough. Maintaining calories is important. If calories and hydration become an issue, you could try smoothies with additional powders supplements. I don’t use powders but there are many good ones. Thrive is an athletic line but has a good balance of protein an other elements. Smoothies have the additional benefits of hydration and digestibility. That might be getting ahead of things. Oncology teams are trained specifically and have their way of dealing with things. I would look to them.

Yes! I had two 3 ring binders. One binder for doctor's notes, prescriptions, test results, business cards from every doctor or nurse I saw, etc. Another binder for EOBs from insurance company and medical bills. I kept a tote bag with the "treatment binder", a pen, post it notes, $20 cash, a bible, MP3 player loaded with sermons and Christian music, small blanket, photos of family, and a notebook to write down my questions. Being super organized gave me a feeling of control in the chaos of cancer. If your money is tight, call up your local thrift store and explain why you need 2 binders. Many kindhearted clerks will go check if they are selling any. Try to get the 3 inch or bigger because you will have a lot of paperwork. Also make yourself a medication log for after surgery because some medicines make you a bit loopy. You want to take everything on time, not skipping not doubling dose by accident. I looked up my cancer on KZfaq and Google. Got many ideas that helped me a lot. My oncologist was a good surgeon but didn't give me any clue about post surgical challenges and there were MANY. Luckily other women had posted their journeys which helped me tremendously.

Your brave words of “I’m not going to let the cancer take over me ..” touched my heart so much!! My first born was born with HLHS or half a heart. People sometimes make me feel like I don’t take it serious enough because his diagnosis doesn’t consume our entire life. Even though my son will eventually need a heart transplant he is more than just HLHS. He has a beautiful purpose in this life just like you and I think with God we can turn these enormous mountains into blessings. I’ll be praying for you and your family. Stay strong and draw near to God. 💚

Thyroid cancer survivor here, 44 y/o. Thank you for sharing your story. I had my thyroid removed 3 years ago at 41 y/o, after removal they told me they found a large but slow growing cancer in my thyroid. It was a very backwards situation for me because I found out after the cancer was removed. I went through radiation therapy. And luckily the cancer did not spread to my lymph nodes. So as of today I am cancer free and being monitored by my doctor. I am still considered a stage 1 cancer patient. If I am still cancer free at 5 years after removal. I am an official cancer survivor. You have support here. Cancer is scary but it can be survivable. Follow your doctors orders and live light heartedly each day.

You got this! My husband was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in early Dec last year. It had metastasized into his lymph nodes and his liver. The mass was large enough that it had almost completely blocked his colon and a week before Christmas he had colostomy surgery. He has since had a week of radiation and just finished 18 weeks of chemo. He has had some more scans and we see his surgeon this week for more info. We are in Canada so very grateful we won't be seeing a huge medical bill when all is said and done. Be blessed and strong, you may have cancer, but it doesn't have you.

Hey Jessica!! This is a very long story … Brian can read it to you if needed 💕❤️🙏🏼 I hope as you read this, you’re able to be as comfortable and as pain free as possible…. and also feel our love to you from the comments and our prayers (if that resonates with you, if not… our happy, well wishes 💕❤️🙏🏼) I wanted to tell you about my gramma… I’m 52…. And when I was a wee little girl, just age 6 My beautiful gran was diagnosed with colon cancer…. Hers was just like yours, but opposite (if that makes sense)…. In other words hers started in her colon but wrapped around her uterus, bladder, ovaries…. Etc… my gran was 58 at the time of diagnosis….. It was an incredibly difficult surgery and recovery…. It ended up being stage 4 colon cancer…. Lots of lymph nodes removed and 15 inches of her colon…They gave her heavy doses of radiation, 2 1/2 years of chemo and endless drugs of Lord know what….. Yet she had the most positive attitude of anyone I’ve ever met…. I literally worshiped her, the literal ground she walked on, she was my most favorite human in the entire world…. My gran knew this and knew that at just age 6, I couldn’t handle the diagnosis that she had been dealt…. So she didn’t tell me…. I was just so little….I had no clue…no one told me… What follows is one of the funniest moments in my entire life…(not funny then, but funny now)…. This story is still told at our yearly family gatherings 😐😬…. It’s kinda a side story, to the story I’m trying to tell you. Maybe Brian can read this to you, as it may be long. A bed time story of sorts… with a super happy ending 💕❤️🙏🏼 I grew up on my grandparents farm… as I mentioned my gran had been diagnosed with colon cancer…. Had all the treatments imaginable as per 1976 standards….the works…. Of course all her hair fell out…. Every bit of it…. Now as I had mentioned above, I was just 6 and had no clue about said hair loss or cancer…my gran was a very beautiful woman, even at 58 and she knew it (my 85 year old mother still jokes that my gran never passed a mirror without looking at herself 😜)… so of course my gran got a beautiful wig, it 100% looked like her real hair… it was incredibly expensive and looked amazeballs…. One night, 2 years into my grans cancer journey, it was in the winter and now I was 8 years old… we were driving back to the farm from Mass (my gran was a very devout Catholic) we went to Mass 3 times a week, and when she couldn’t go due to being so sick from the chemo…. The priest would come and offer her communion at the farm. So it was winter and pitch black outside, no moon light even….. we pull up to the farm and park the car in the open barn, where the car used to be parked… We get out of the car and walk up to the porch…. It was a little covered porch area that was screened off…. It had a ramp, like a wheelchair ramp that went up to the house….we noticed that gramps forgot to turn the light on for us…. I shut the screen door behind me, so we were inside the pitch black screened off little porch…. My gran reaches up to turn on the light with the old fashioned pull light, the string kind…. She pulls the string and the light goes on…. At that exact moment 5,678 moths start flying all around us….. they had somehow got trapped inside the little screened off porch…. My gran and I both begin screaming and in grans struggle…. She accidentally flips her wig off……. It was like slow motion…. My mouth hangs open….. I no longer cared about the moths flying all around us. My little mind was racing….”How can my grans hair be on the ground?”…… (I didn’t even know what a wig was!!) …..my gran is bald!! What is happening?? “How does hair just fall off?” “What is this trickery?” “What’s happening”….. so my little face had just a look of total shock…. Mouth still open….I just stood there, eyes wide and blinking fast “blink, blink, blink”….. so my gran by now is hysterically laughing….. I mean like pee your pants laughing…. I’m still traumatized and a tear rolls down my cheek….. so confused….. “what’s happening”… so gran finally gets the door open and we go in somehow, without letting all the moths in( they never locked their doors 45years ago, out in the country)….. So we get in the house…. She puts her wig back on, bends down and says “teence (my nic name)…. It’s time to tell you that I have had cancer, I have had cancer treatment….that’s why I’ve been so sick… it made my hair fall out…. But I kicked it’s ass, it won’t be back, it doesn’t live here any more… I didn’t tell you because you’re such a kind hearted person, and I knew you couldn’t bare it, but don’t you worry, it won’t be back and I’m going to be just fine”……I had never, a day in my life heard my gran swear…. Or even raise her voice…. And she said a swear and she said ass !! I was just so lost, so confused, so scared “why doesn’t gran have hair, will I get cancer and my hair fall out? Is it like the flu? What is happening”?????? “What is cancer? Is it bad” I had so many questions and my gran answered all of them so sweetly with a smile and giggled when I asked silly questions that an 8 year old would ask.. Gran didn’t wear her wig that night…. She said it felt good to not have “that itchy thing on”… I could not stop staring at her bald head… even bald she was still so beautiful 💕❤️ We played crazy 8’s until late into the night that night…like we always did when she felt well enough too…and she would occasionally burst out laughing…. 😜🥸😬…. Especially after I said “I can’t believe your bald gramma, and that uncle Bud has more hair than you “ it was a family joke about uncle Bud being bald in his early 30’s …. We all gave him a hard time about it…. He was a good sport about it….of course she had to call and tell him that I said this, because she thought it was hilarious….. it didn’t matter that it was to late to call…. If the joke was good enough, gran called you to tell it to ya 😂 Fast foreword 32 years later, to 2005, my beautiful gran passed away of old age at 92, the saddest day of my life…. My beautiful gran got to see me get married….. have 4 beautiful babies…. Spend 31 Thanksgivings with us…. And Easter’s….. and Christmas’s ….. we made so many memories together and my 3 oldest kids, have wonderful memories of her!! She was diagnosed at age 58 with stage 4 colon cancer…. Given Less than a 10% chance of surviving …. All her lymph nodes in her groin were removed (tho this did cause her problems with lympthodema (sp?) in her left leg for the rest of her life)…. Small price to pay!!! ….. she not only lived but thrived!! She was happy until her dying day at age 92… she passed from natural causes…. In case you are wondering, she did mostly eat plant based…. If offered meat, she wouldn’t be rude, she would eat it…but she mostly ate plant based her whole life…. I would describe her diet as very Mediterranean ….Lots and lots of beans, veggies, tons of potatoes and lots of fermented foods such as sauerkraut and other veggies and also fresh pasta (we are Austrian, from near the Italian border, my grandparents came to Oregon in 1937 and used the national homesteading act to purchase their property ) …. I hope my grandmas story inspires you and gives you encouragement…. Because it can happen for you too, think of how much better the treatment is now, 45 years later even!! My grandma thrived and so can you!! We will kick cancers ass with you! In memory of my beautiful gramma Marie 💕❤️🙏🏼 Much Love from Oregon 🌲🌲 💕❤️~Trina~ (I’m very sorry about any typos, I’m to tired to proof read it)

I am relatively new to your channel and just want you to know that as a cancer survivor of 16 years I understand the emotions you are going through. I was so scared in the beginning but once I had all my reports in and I had a treatment plan, I felt in more control. You are blessed to have a wonderful husband and support system and never be afraid to ask for help. Just so you know, the American Cancer Society has something called Hope Lodge which is housing for people undergoing treatment away from their home in another city. I know there are 30 Hope Lodges. Once you find out what your plan is and where you treatment will be, you may want to see if there is a Hope Lodge. I know an application has to be submitted. It is free and a family member can obviously stay with you. Although it won't be easy, you can do this. I will keep you in my prayers.

Jessica and Brian, you are in our prayers. Having gone through cancer, I can tell you the road ahead is going to be a journey. It is going to be just as hard on Brian as it is for you as he will be your most important care giver. Please look into cancer treatment centers of America. I went to them for most of my treatments and what I loved about them was; you didn’t have to make many decisions, they set up a plan for you and lead you through everything. They do the whole big picture not just leave you in a guessing game of what do I do next. If finances are a problem, they can help send you in the right direction for help. There are people who donate and if needed, you can set up a go fund me page and I know your tube followers will be able to help. Please don’t be too proud to do that. The last thing you two need to worry about is how your going to pay for treatment. Take it one little step at a time. No matter which way you plan on going, just know you have to do what you believe is best for you. God bless you both and know you are in our prayers. I was never a real religious person before but I can honestly say, when there was a prayer chain that my friends started for me, I felt those prayers and it gave me comfort that no matter what happens God is there.

There is always hope, teal sister. Will be watching and praying for you. There is no test or exam for OC its discovered. Women need to insist on ultrasounds if they think anything is up. It affects the young as well as older women. Celebrate the little joys, be kind to yourself. During chemo stay hydrated. Every cancer is uniqiue, hope your therapies are successful. Blessings to you.

I had stage IV ovarian cancer (clear cell adenocarcinoma) diagnosed at age 31 less than a week after giving birth to my first child. I had symptoms throughout my pregnancy but it started out as an ovarian cyst on my left ovary, seemed total normal until about six months into my pregnancy, it grew to a ridiculous size. They couldn’t get it out during my c-section and were shocked at what they found when they opened me up to deliver my baby. They call ovarian cancer the silent killer because there are very subtle signs and symptoms, such as bloating, feeling full quickly, fatigue - all things that we associate with our normal periods. There’s no test that exists for ovarian cancer, with the exception of a CA125 count, which isn’t really definitive and very subjective. My CA125 only ever reached the mid 60s while I knew other people had numbers in the high hundreds or even thousands. The typical CA125 range is 35 and below and can be run with regular blood work. I’m hoping the pathology comes back soon for you so they can get a treatment plan together. Please hang in there! I’m 3.5 years in remission, so it’s possible.

Beautiful girl, do not feel guilty AT ALL for accepting the help that people want to send you! Just remember, folks would not be doing it if they didn’t want to. You are a good, sweet, loving and deserving person. Sending you love and healing light.

My heart really goes out to you! The beginning of this journey is the most difficult because you have so much information to take in and learn all at once but it also feels like it takes so freaking long to get all the information and to start fighting the fight that you are so ready to start battling. I am a survivor and I work in a women’s cancer specialty. Your attitude and dedication to healing will get you through this. You are on the right path and I can’t wait to be here when you tell you is that you have officially kicked cancers ass! Stay strong sister you’ve got this!

I heard once ‘your mess becomes your message’. Jess, you have helped others as you have shared your battles with weight/depression/anxiety, and it’s crappy that you were given the mess of cancer too, but you are the right messenger for so many. 💜
