More Good News: Another Follow-Up At Mayo Clinic

We are Brian & Jessica, a married couple who started on a life-changing whole food, plant-based weight loss journey back in June 2018. In June 2022, our lives were flipped upside-down when Jessica was diagnosed with Stage 3 ovarian cancer. We continue to share our adventures (highs, lows, struggles & everything in between) in following a plant-based diet while keeping you up-to-date on Jessica's cancer treatment. In October 2023, we welcomed our very first child via gestational carrier.

Look at you doing things on your own. Being a mother gives us women a confidence we never knew we had. We become strong because our kids count on us to be strong. It's one of the many great parts of being a strong mama bear. Jessica, I'm so proud of you!! I'm thankful for your continued wellness!

[@vintagelaidbackhippie465]

Spot on ✌❤🙏

[@doctork1708]

What an absolute load of crap. Women don’t need to breed to be competent and confident and many of you mommies are incompetent and lack confidence.

[@TeresaCook-de6jo]

Yes, exactly what she said!

[@joy-to7dx]

That hair color makes her look like a old woman 🧓

[@beekind1940]

Your thoughts about how keeping cancer stuff at Mayo and home town separate from cancer makes complete sense!

[@psmithbell]

Who could have foreseen all this a year ago 🎉 Elsie has personality already 😊

[@laurieann5961]

This is to the Krocks in no particular order: Elsie is the cutest baby, give her a squeeze from me, Brian is the bestest husband, dad and support this family could ask for, and Jessica, you are a lovely young lady who deserves every bit of goodness that comes your way! Have a blessed Christmas 🎄

[@lauram5846]

Amen to all of that!

[@katieyoung7271]

You look so beautiful with curls!

[@margaretkarner9593]

Jessica your curls are beautiful!! So very happy for the 3 of you. Always in my prayers

[@r.k.2823]

Elsie is A-DOR-A-BLE!!! What a cute baby!

[@lj9524]

You have suffered and endured so much and now your little Elsie has changed everything for you! As a fellow cancer survivor I know cancer is never distant in one’s mind. Praying for continued dancing with “NED”!

[@BethGrantDeRoos]

Am SO glad at the 14:50 mark you note the value of going to the Mayo clinic because all the testing, MRI etc. are done on the same equipment, with people who know your health history firsthand. This is more important than many people may know. Am so happy for the good report. ♥

[@ga6589]

My husband's stage 4 cancer has been treated at Mayo-Rochester for the past 2 1/2 years. He remains in remission, but continues to be followed up there every 3 months. We wouldn't think of going anywhere else. (It's just a 2 hour drive for us.) We have such confidence in his doctors and the efficiency/customer service of the clinic is second to none.

[@Sweetqueendiva]

To God Be the Glory!🎉❤

[@tamarabeck6350]

The ONLY positive of chemo were the cute curls I had growing in because my hair had been stick straight my entire life. I’m so thrilled your lives are in such a positive upswing. Happy holidays! I’m hopping on an airplane now to go meet my first grand-baby, also a girl. 😊

[@beekind1940]

I could tell a huge change in Brian's 'vibes' after the results! Now, I pray you three can take a BIG breath and move forward into a joyful and magical first Christmas with Princess Elsie! Love and hugs.

[@gsabo1000]

Look at Brian being a girl dad!!!!❤❤

[@somersetflower]

Live your life. No-one is promised tomorrow Love your hair and falling in love with beautiful Elsie.x

[@leece_6702]

Nice comment x

[@lynntorson1984]

God is so good. A year ago we feared the very earthly worst and now you are at your very best. So so happy for you and your family. What a nice word, not just a husband but a family. Congrats. Lynn, Dodge City, KS

[@gsabo1000]

That BABY GIRL is the cutest baby ever.

[@ritacooke3175]

Brian is such a natural daddy!!!!!!!

[@barbhelle5481]

That was so cute when you said this little cutie and Elsie turned and looked at the camera. She is adorable and I love your hair. I am so happy for you.

[@janhankins911]

You're really rocking the curls, Jessica! And how cute is Elsie? I'm so happy the scans were good. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and if you don't post between now and Christmas, have a wonderful season!

[@janmalone8641]

I can't tell you guys how happy I am for you all. You are in my prayers tonight. Sleep in peace and love.

[@stargalaxyuniverse761]

Absolutely stay there. You have a great team and that is worth its weight in gold! Great news and Elsie is adorable!!

[@stacydavis1682]

Great news! Elsie is adorable! Hugs to all of my pink sisters!

[@19th-Nervous-Breakdown]

Welcome to the naturally curly club. ☺️ I was born with those curls and its really nice to just scrunch them a bit with Curls Rock Gel and let them air dry. I'm so glad that you're sticking with Mayo. When you have a serious illness, you choose the best. God bless and good luck from a 32 year cancer survivor here.

[@sheilababb8216]

You look amazing hair is super cute. Continue with Mayo from a Mom who lost her Daughter to colon cancer at age 51. She unfortunately had multiple hospitals due to the Covid situation and her fragile condition. I truly believe the same Doctors and same hospital hospital will be beneficial to you. Elsie is beautiful congratulations. ❤

[@patriciamcquillan3585]

Curls are beautiful

[@kristybeck3494]

Elsie looks SO much like Brian! She is so cute - and I love the curls Jessica! So happy for your good news 💖

[@kristylynn4099]

What a BEAUTIFUL GIFT MIRACLES HAPPEN. ❤🙏❤️ God is good.

[@rhondawhatley1591]

Praise God for the good news. Elsie is beautiful and yal are such a beautiful family sending prayers for continued healing

[@ManjuDevi-bg3li]

My mother also HGSOC (ovarian cancer). Felt very happy and hopeful after watching your video

[@kiml1159]

Mayo Clinic is awesome. It's where I had my surgery for breast cancer 16 years ago. My hair looked like I had an old lady poodle perm when it grew back in post chemo. Wish I had had the know-how back then to make it look so cute like you have with yours! Now, all these years later, my curls have gone away. Glad your follow-up was good news! You don't have to justify going to Mayo. A person would be crazy not to go there if they have the means (i.e. insurance!) because it's the best place to go. People from other countries go there because they are that good. I know they took great care of me! Best Wishes to you and your sweet family!

[@bconsilio3764]

It’s crazy what chemo does long term to hair. A student of mine, 6 years old, had bone marrow transplant at Mayo. She was blonde before, black for several years after, but eventually got blonde again. Yes it is important to go where you got the best care. Recently i had medical care at Cleveland Clinic and I too was in the very best of health care possible and I didn’t have anything life threatening. Do what makes you feel comfortable for your mental health. And it is so great that you can compartmentalize and not bring it home with you!! Congratulations Jessica, beautiful Elsie’s beautiful mom!

[@Its_me--Boo_Radley]

First, so happy that you received good news! Second, Elsie has to be the cutest baby ever! Third, I know what you mean about going back to Mayo. We had a similar experience with my husband's cancer treatment. For all his follow-ups, we continued to go back to his treating hospital (which was huge and had a dedicated cancer hospital) because they had HIS doctors who were all familiar with HIS case. We went back for MORE than 5 years for our own peace of mind. He also had several problems in the following years that came about because of his earlier cancer treatments ... and we always went back to that hospital for treatment--even though it was a days' drive away. PS. I totally agree with Brian--your hair is adorable!

[@papabear2515]

Yes! I think it’s really a very practice to get scans done at the same facility, with the same team reviewing those, etc. And I encourage you to do what YOU feel is best and good at any given time - it’s your body and your decision! All the best, Kathleen

[@nancyfosterlongbeachca.9483]

Why a huge blessing Elsie! She’s precious…. Your life has changed for the better for your wonderful family! 🥰

[@debbiechaney6607]

Jessica, May I say sincerely that you are getting prettier and prettier every time we see you. Your complexion is gorgeous and that CURLEY HAIR is so darling and sweet! Just love it and it looks so wonderful on you. Really love the headband. Motherhood bcomes you... You seem like a natural woman and mother. Its amazing how you have blossomed. We are so all beyond proud of you and Brians smile says it all! You are fantastic parents and your daughter is precious and so beautiful. We love you two and Elsie. God Bless you in everyway. Love 💕 from Debbie and Dexter-Dog my sweet tiny rescued Chihuahua companion living a quiet crafty life in southern California.

Praise God!

[@michie43able]

I'm really happy for you guys. I so needed to hear this good news. Been following you guys as well as Jenny Apple and Sarah Pog and both those beautiful women had stage 4 cancer and now are Angels in heaven. Elsie is adorable and having gone through 6 IVF's, numerous surgeries, procedures for infertility and then breast cancer surgery I finally adopted my bundle of joy many years ago. So, I know after adversity how wonderful it is to have that baby in your arms.

[@sturkfeld]

Happy to hear the good news! Jessica, may your good health continue through old age. I always wish only the best for you, Brian, and beautiful little Elsie.

[@lesiapersimmon7547]

🔥Awesome results..Amen✝️ and Elsie is absolutely adorable... she's at the grunter and groaner age💖👶your hair rocks❤

[@marychurchill-dasilva170]

I agree with Brian, your hair is so darn cute this way! You all look wonderful! Baby Elsie is precious!

[@marleiseturner4689]

I agree with Brian! Your hair looks amazing. You look so much younger without the headbands🫶🏼 You look beautiful and radiant and Elsie has a glowing mommy❤ Brian, what a loving, supportive and happy daddy and husband. Great news in Rochester at the Mayo Clinic. Thank you for the update!

[@user-wl6ex9fe8l]

What an adorable little baby! Wonderful news

[@jessdrake2422]

Great news, Elsie is so sweet, we have something in common, my name is Jessica and I have curly hair, but your hair is so much prettier, but mine has more gray, I am 62 years old! Lol!

[@anitasings1]

Beautiful Elsie! So thankful for your great results. Keep going to Mayo....excellent reasons to keep going back there. Very happy for all three of you. Your hair is so beautiful!

[@sonomanatural6290]

Love that you both have the "jiggle" down for calming Elsie!🤣😂

[@pianolady726]

What wonderful news!! And oh my goodness, Baby Elsie is a beautiful little lady ❤️❤️ May you continue to be blessed with all of the beautiful things in life ❤️ Love, from New York

[@Paula-bh7rp]

I look at it this way for you. The more time goes by the more your eating regime and positive attitude works more and more towards an assurance nothing will come back. It's 7 years for me and I say I'm cured and I continue in life like I did before. Matured, yes, stronger, yes and knowing that I can deal with whatever comes in life. You saw how your healthy lady carrying your child went in only moments into a life threatening situation. So chin up and look to the future of joyously raising your daughter and having the healthy abundant life you always wanted and believed you would have Love you guys, pray for many many blessings.❤😊

[@onionguts]

Your headband/scarf is absolutely perfect for your hair👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Get more…….immediately 💕💕😊😂

[@patriciahagedorn5694]

I am so very happy with the positive test results. Now you can really start living and enjoying life with your new baby girl. She is absolutely darling. The whole time you were talking she recognized your voice and kept craning her neck to try and see you. I love your short curly hair. It really looks cute on you. I never realized how pretty you were until recently. Your skin is so pretty and smooth. I am wishing you, Brian and Elsie much love and happiness as your journey moves forward. God Bless you.

[@helenmorgan7767]

Jessica is back ❤

[@SusanDavis-mt3qe]

If I was you, I think would stay with the Mayo Clinic. They are known for their cancer care. You seem like it isn’t really hard to get there, you have a good relationship with your dr. and your baby is young enough to not be really effected by the travel. You have a wonderful husband, who is your best supporter that you could have. Your baby is adorable. I am probably going to try a new center myself that is more fitting for my illness in the coming months. Keep up the good work-so happy for you and yes I ❤ your curls!

[@knittingnerd9998]
