Question, after having had a big abdominal surgery during my 30s, wondering what your plans are for recovery & traveling home? Are you planning to stay in the area for a long time?

For those not on Instagram, Jessica posted a story this morning. Surgery lasted 8 hours. She’s tired and in pain but was able to get up this morning. Waiting on pathology, but doctors are encouraged by what they saw. ❤

This is for Brian - day of surgery she will come back feeling great as she will have a lot of drugs on board. Post-op days 2-4 are tough. Lots of fluid changes going on in the body, pain and lots of that sort of thing. I’m a nurse, and also the main support for my mom who went through the same exact surgery 2 years ago. It’s a big a** surgery and the body takes time to recover. Thinking of you as the support person!

Sending you prayers. I had a routine 45 minute hysterectomy scheduled. 5 hours later, I no longer had a uterus, omentum, "fat pad", appendix, cervix and had my intestines scraped (my cancer is like pain spatter). They found 2 types of cancer...one removed completely with the surgery. The other is a rare form of ovarian. No chemo or radiation - the type I have doesn't respond to either. I take arimidex. That's it since surgery. Given 50% chance of survival at the 5 year mark. It's been 7 and I just had my annual check-up with my oncologist and I continue to be in remission. Miracles DO happen! Sending you prayers for healing and the lack of cancer everywhere!

[@sandyrose2398]

So happy that the surgery will happen tomorrow - and I know that you'll be FINE!!!!! I posted a few months ago. I was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer, Stage 3, in 2006 - I had symptoms from Dec. 2000 but I didn't know that it was cancer. I didn't have medical insurance so I didn't go to the doctor until November 2005 when I turned 65 years and was eligible for Medicare. I'm single - no family - and didn't ask one question of the doctor/oncologist/surgeon. They didn't give me any information. I didn't know if I'd survive - as my mother died of Ovarian Cancer in Jan. 1982 (the doctors were clueless in those days.) Today the medical community is so much more educated with so many new treatments, drugs, etc. I had a total hysterectomy, removed 1 lymph node. I had 6 rounds of chemo and when I got home, a home-health nurse came to my house around 4 times to give me shots, epogen/neupogen. It took me one year to recover - and I've been cancer-free from 2007 - 16 years!!!! No one would ever know that I was sick and I'm now 82 years young. Good Luck to Both of You. You're the most adorable couple. Sandy in Calif.

Otomy = cut / incision. Ectomy = removal / cutting out. You are right, it IS ‘oof’ for oopherectomy. Salpingectomy is removal of fallopian tubes. Oopherectomy removal of ovaries. A great friend of ours was diagnosed with neuroendocrine cancer of pancreas last year .. they initially refused surgery because of location & extension of it but finally said actually maybe we can do this. She had her pancreas, spleen, gall bladder and a large section of small intestine removed alongside a part of her stomach. Looking at her now, 4-5 months later you’d never know she’d been through all that. Neuroendocrine tumours are known to often be very slow growing and act very differently from others, so i’m thrilled that you are able to move along with surgery. I had adenocarcinoma of colon ten years ago, i had 17 inches removed and i believe it was 37 lymph nodes - i expected to wake with a temporary colostomy but didn’t. My mum was also diagnosed with the same and had a permanent colostomy at the age of 80. She coped very well with it. I believe this is the type of uterine cancer cells you had? Try to avoid dr google - go to reputable cancer charity sites. Google is full of woe when it comes to any form of cancer, primarily because very few write blogs etc about successful outcomes, because there’s nothing more to say really. Charity forums usually also have folk who have been through successful treatment and come out the other side fine. I was a forum moderator for a while on beating bowel cancer (uk) and there are guys there who were given terminal diagnosis over ten years ago and are still here. With my friend it’s now all considered a chronic illness that she has to deal with. Constantly monitored. She is a type 3 diabetic (due to removal) and is only daily antibiotics for life as she has no spleen. Her scar went from underarm to underarm below chest level, extensive cut .. but it healed beautifully. I feel your relief at having this done, as well as the natural anxiety that goes with it. It sounds like you have a superb surgeon with a lot of empathy which is perfect. See you when it’s all done!

[@An__-]

I'm so glad the surgery is happening. I didn't like the idea that they would "give up" without knowing for certain if the lesions were cancer...especially when your mom has liver lesions. Even if it is expected to be cancer, it isn't definitely and so they should be fighting for every little chance you can get for full cure. I'm glad that you advocated for yourself. If it turns out to have metastasized, this surgery will put you in a better place for fighting the remaining cancer. YAY! Good luck and safe recovery!

I can tell you guys are feeling good about the surgery tomorrow. I am so glad and hope that you get great news from the results. I teach a medical terminology course!

I’ll be praying for you tomorrow, Jessica. I know God will look after you and be with you in the operating room. I had this same surgery and He did that for me. Yes, you’ll have a long scar, but, as everyone told me when I said something about it it’s your battle scar. It saved your life. I was warned about the maybe having to have the intestinal operation, but it didn’t happen. The only problem I had was low blood pressure the day after. They gave me a blood transfusion and I felt so much better. You will have physical therapists getting you out of the bed and walking with a walker as soon as possible. And, yes, it hurts but they say you have to move that it’s not good to stay in bed. The worst part for me was trying to get out of the bed. It was excruciating until one of the PTs told me to use the bed rail to turn on my side then use my elbow to help me up. It really does help. Take care. I know you’ve got this.

That's the only place that they said showed any cancer (cholangiocarcainoma) so I'm just still dealing with non-alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver and is looking pretty good with meds and labwork every 6 months and an endoscopy every other year now (used to be every year) as I have been dealing with this and hepatic encephalopathy for 6 years now. Best wishes for you, truely. My liver doctor at KUMC, Dr Olson, left there in December and is now at Mayo, man I will miss him so much.

Congratulations! Praying for best possible results! No more stinkin' cancer! Dear God, please bless Jessica's surgical team with wisdom and skill as they navigate her unique body. Bless her with healing. Give Brian the strength of his love. They are amazing Christians and are loved.

Praying for your surgery tomorrow 😘☺️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

My friend had cancer metastasized from colon to liver and that has been about 30 years ago, so take hope

I wish you all the best and my fingers are crossed for you. Greetings from a Danish fan. Glad you have your loving husband by your side through all this.

It’s not weird to be excited for surgery to have cancer removed . I was not even a little nervous for my breast cancer surgery because chemo was hard and I was ready for them to remove the remainder of cancer . Prayers for your surgery and recovery 🙏

[@kathystevens8163]

You got this, Jessica. May the good Lord protect you during your surgery and give your Medical team the knowledge, skills, and abilities to bring you success.. 🙏✝️ Brian, waiting will be difficult. Stay positive.... Blessings to you both.... 🙋‍♀️

Jessica, I had a hysterosalpingooopherectomy when I was 30. I had my children (3) and the 3 c-sections had damaged my reproductive organs and they required removal. I did fine. I really don’t feel like I ever went through menopause (although I am getting hot flashes now, at 71 - who knows why 🤷🏻‍♀️). You will do great. We have come a long way since the 70’s as far as keeping us safe during surgery. Fun fact: I have a hereditary bone disease which has given me a ridiculous tally of major surgeries. 42 during my lifetime! You have Mayo clinic! I had one orthopedic specialist who was a proctologist- I had a biopsy for suspected breast cancer and the surgery was performed by a proctologist. I never had any complications in all my surgeries except a little nausea from anesthesia they used “back in the day” I didn’t want to post my life story…sorry. What I wanted to say was if I ever had a man that looked at me the way Brian looks at you my life would be complete. But nobody has looked at me that way. Ever. 2 1/2 marriages, I have never seen that look. You are one lucky lady. I choose to believe your luck will continue and your weird medical condition will weirdly be easier than the first thought to cure. Good luck tomorrow. Don’t be nervous. It’s going to be painful, but they have drugs to help that.

Thank you for telling us what is going to happen. Many prayers will be said for you tomorrow. 🧡🧡🙏🙏

I hope all went well with today’s surgery!! No updates yet on Instagram so I’m checking here. Congrats on 100K subscribers!!!! ❤

Jessica I LOVE your positive attitude. You're awesome and so is that lovely man there standing by your side. I'm so glad you have a team of doctors who are really taking their time being sure each move they make and recommend is the best for you. Having a good team makes all the difference. I strongly feel, no, I know my husband was treated like cattle. He was just a number and a profit. Holding you in my prayers.

[@anitavalerio7437]

You have such a good attitude and great support from your husband! Prayers for you that everything will go well! God bless both of you and your families!

Boy, this had me scared! I thought this was a recent video (September, 2024) but it's a year old. Thank God!

[@bridgetmcgowan4584]

With your positive attitudes and mindset that’s half the battle right there. My prayers ongoing. I agree the surgery sounds positive. You’ve done your homework, you’ve had multiple opinions, I believe it will give you the answers you need. Sending hugs and many prayers. Your both Amazing! 🤗🤗🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@danielbobberson9849]

there is an update in the IG account...sounds like good news at this point

[@oilfreeara277]

Thank you for letting us know

[@areyoukidding1431]

Thanks for that! Some only use KZbin so have to wait. I would think the community option wouldn't be too involved but don't know.

[@danielbobberson9849]

@@areyoukidding1431 i don't know if they have used community before. some don't know about it. I only joined IG for a few people that I follow...don't post etc. The update pretty much indicated initial report from dr. good which I think is great as these surgeons usually know what they are seeing, the spread and potential success. The path reports will confirm. Knowing Jessica a YT will be up in a few days. These first days are tough. I will report if there is more on IG. Such a great team Jessica and Brian.

[@areyoukidding1431]

@@danielbobberson9849 Thank you so much, that is very nice of you!

[@leem200]

Will be praying for you. You will be ok. Prayer and diet works. Know someone who was given 6 weeks to live,six with chemo and six weeks without. 10 yrs later guess they were wrong. Also, removed the cancer in throat, nodes and he is still cancer free. Everyone is different but I think you have a huge fighting chance.
