Brian Gets a Kidney Biopsy

[@robinmaynard1640]

Brian: this is what equality is. Trust the process, you two will be stronger in the end.

[@denisecostanzo9596]

You are a living example of marriage …and standing by each other and lifting each other up when you’re down. A beautiful example of sacrificial LOVE ♥️

[@FawnhillFarmhouse]

Sending prayers! My husband just had kidney cancer. They removed a portion of his right kidney and he needed only six month. Follow up appointments… No chemo. he is doing fabulous a year out. Sending prayers to Brian and thinking of you all.

[@bflogal18]

Brian, I get it. I’m the caretaker in my marriage. It was difficult to accept help when I had a surgery and was down for a few weeks. But ultimately, that’s what marriage is about. We care for each other. It’s your turn, so sit back, follow your doctor’s recommendations and accept the fact that you are loved.

[@MarthaGarrett]

I couldn’t find a place comment. But I wanted to thank you for keeping us in the loop. We’ve fallen in love with you and are praying for you and these updates are so so appreciated.

[@eleanoraquitaine2966]

Elsie is gorgeous! Happy Mother's Day and prayers for the best news all around.

[@beekind1940]

Prayers for you both. And wishing Jessica the best Mother's Day ever!

[@michhart4237]

After my own massive struggles watching you two beautiful people has seriously made me question the universe. How can this happen to mum and dad when you've just got your beautiful daughter, then life kicks you in the guts again. Jessica you are looking amazing, Brian there is nothing wrong with being loved and cared for, it's what real love is. ❤

Gluttony is a sin. It’s in the bible.

​@josemama1 Aren't you a bright ray of sunshine? We all sin, including you. Thankfully we can go to our heavenly Father and ask for forgiveness. Why can't you just be nice?

[@wanya_telborn]

Omg! Wow calm down

[@maryblais7791]

I love that you two communicate every emotion. It is rare as a couple. It is perfect for a strong committed marriage!

[@susannebrorby5992]

It is hard going from the caretaker to the patient, but what a gift you are giving to Jessica to take her turn as your caretaker.

[@ronnimesser]

I was diagnosed with clear cell renal cell carcinoma in November following a nephrectomy. The mass was found by accident on mri for my back in September. I didn’t have to have a biopsy though, they just went straight to nephrectomy. I now have Addison’s disease ugh and having some new symptoms so back to the oncologist I go tomorrow! Praying all is well for you both

[@jessicabellone913]

Wishing you good luck at your appointment tomorrow! ❤

[@lisatowan4536]

Sending love and prayers your way. Cancer is a beast and the worst roller coaster ride ever! Praying for a good outcome for your appointment.

[@heidik-lady8135]

Brian is blessed to qualify for biopsy 1st. Didn't get one just had a mass too big so kidney just came out ! At least you know ahead of time how much needs to go or stay.

[@faithf4988]

Brian....just surrender to the idea of being taken care of....it's temporary :) Happy Mother's day, Jessica :)

[@debbiecrum7585]

Happy Mother's day Jessica. The first one is always rememberable.

[@patmeek9094]

I will pray for each of you. How can this happen to you? It is so unbelievable. Continue to pray and rely on God beside you.

I'm a kidney nurse & the recovery is pretty quick and I wish you a speedy recovery x

[@cececat9549]

As always, prayers to both of you, If you remember, 3x cancer survivor, different Cancers! You'll be fine!

[@Craftygirl56]

Brian I’m not going to lie it seems so strange to see you as the patient this time. Praying so much for you and your beautiful family. Prayers for abundance of strength and blessings no matter the circumstances.

[@toniabrock7677]

Jessica, is much stronger than given credit for. She just has a different process. Brian I hope you allowed her to do the caregiving. covering you both in prayer as you go through this time.

[@Its_me--Boo_Radley]

Of course you are both exhausted. Worries about Brian's condition, stress about Jessica's follow-up and caring for Elsie (which I'm sure while it may be exhausting, is also the bright spot in your lives) ... it sounds like a perfect storm. I know you'll come through it and be stronger on the other side, but it's the "getting through it" that has to be challenging. Hoping for the best possible results and outcomes for both of you wonderful people. Happy Mother's Day, Jessica!

[@sarahhendrickson9795]

What incredible parents you two are. That girl is so special and so lucky to have your guys love ❤

[@terri5757]

I hope all went well with Brian’s biopsy results and that all of Jessica’s tests and scans came back well. Hugs to Elsie. 🤗

[@sleepycalico]

Brian, your serenity shines so brightly even when you are exhausted. I bet it was worth it to talk in the car so the talking part of the video could be marked off on the day's check list. I hope you had a good rest for the rest of the day. Happy Mothers Day, beautiful family. And Jessica, your hair is so adorable it makes me grin.

[@jessicabellone913]

Tiny nurse Elsie is absolutely precious! ❤ Praying for both of you! Healing thoughts and vibes are being sent your way. 🙏

[@JenniferJohnson-v2w]

My father is a kidney cancer survivor. Caught early, the prognosis is usually very good. He's 15 years post op and doing great. He just has to be careful to take care of his remaining kidney. I'm sure you'll do great Brian! So glad this was caught.

[@motherblank]

The mutual respect and love you two have for each other is so amazing!❤ Prayers for good news for both of you. Happy Mother’s Day, Jessica!

[@beverlyhromec337]

Oh my! You guys are just absolutely precious to be considerate enough to make US a video report on such a trying, exhausting day! Thank you! You're right, we DOOOO want to know! Praying praying. Much love, support, and appreciation. Cares and prayers!

[@Nannerchan]

It tests your strength as a couple. You are strong.

[@Denise00700]

Thank you for keeping us updated! We care about you. Such a beautiful family! Praying for you… 🙏🏻 🕊️

[@PPN451]

Whenever you are fatigued, situations magnify...get some much needed rest....praying for you guys....

[@mruggier0]

When my kidney mass was incidently discovered I was told by Cleveland Clinic a biopsy wasn't needed. The only way to determine if it was cancerous was to remove the tumor and then biopsy. So I suppose each Cancer hospital does things differently. Mine was removed robotically and it was found to be a 4cm chromophobe, which is cancerous. No treatment but closely watched for 5 years with scans and blood work as well as symptoms ,if any. Chromobobes prognosis is measured by size. It will be five years in July. So far so good. This type of cancer if it reappears is in the chest , not kidney. Sure hope Brian result are better than mine and no cancer!

[@edb425]

Praying for you! I truly feel everything is going to be fine. Elsie is such a beautiful child! Happy Mother’s Day Jessica!

[@theresarolla8499]

Sending lotsa love & prayers for both of you & Elsie too! 💕💕🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@kellyhenry4187]

Brian, I hope your recovery goes smoothly, please realize that when you love someone, caring for them is a higher calling and provides its own fulfillment. Happy Mothers Day Jessica! This is a great example of how a real loving marriage works.

[@WhimsyF-sr1ns]

It's hard to rely on other people. It takes a great amount of humility. Sometimes we have to learn to receive from others when we are in difficult situations.

[@juliebaker9266]

Thanks for the update. You are both a picture of love that I enjoy seeing good things happening to so I pray for complete healing and health for both of you. Good things are coming in the future.Hang in there and just keep loving eachother.

It’s ok Brian. Marriage is like this . Sometimes you are the caregiver, others you need care. You are a beautiful couple and a great example for others.❤❤❤

[@christinetaylor5726]

As the caretaker in our family, I totally understand how hard it would be to have someone caring for me. Prayers for you both. And Happy Mother's day Jessica.

You both contribute to your marriage and family together, the way it should be. And those dynamics may change with time. Life is an endless challenge, and it's a huge blessing to have someone like that to go through life with. Prayers for positive outcomes.

‘For better or for worse, in sickness and in health’. Sometimes these vows take on a significant meaning when you are faced with something like this. Prayers, love and strength for a good result. So surreal when the roles are reversed and you are now the patient. 💜

[@papabear2515]

Do whatever you each and both need and want to do - you owe NO ONE any explanations, answers or ANYTHING! Without question, you’ve been hit with more than most couples will have to deal with in a lifetime. It’s not fair or understandable. I encourage you both to let no one in your life - especially KZbin commenters - who don’t support you, uplift you and provide you with the love and light you deserve and need. Holding you close and sending healing and peace your way. Kathleen

[@Diligent-dp7gi]

Elsie has grown and gotten so big! She's a real cutie. I've been with my husband for almost 40 years now and we've had our own share of each of us being sick. I much prefer being the ill one!! I get so anxious when it's Bill. So I understand where you're coming from, Jessica. But I know, for me, it was a privilege to help take care of Bill when he needed it. So, Brian, you don't need to feel bad or guilty when Jessica needs to help you and take care of you. I'm sure Jessica feels much the same way I do--it's a privilege to help care for you when you need it just as it was for me to help Bill when he needed it.
