The purpose of my channel is to document my cancer journey to look back on, and/or help anyone else going through anything similar. It is also to potentially help loved ones supporting those who are in this fight as well. My main goal is to have footage of this journey for my husband and children to look back on. I originally created this channel as a sort of video diary for my family.

Thank you so much for following along on this journey. Your love and support help me so much.

Your story makes me think how hard a journey like this is for people who either don’t have family or don’t have family near them.

I have never in my life seen two people more in love than Kyle and Jenny. It’s what we all aspire to have in life ❤❤❤

I am so angry they didn’t get a ct chest scan when she first had pain, they could have caught it before it spread everywhere. She went through so much, rip sweet Jenny

[mariapug]

“I felt bad she had to see that.” Jenny was in excruciating pain and yet, at that moment, she thought of her sister. You’re amazing, Jenny. You are in the right place, Heaven.

young Jenny wanted to marry a firefighter.... looks like Jenny got to marry a Hero after all ♥️

Her gut feeling about immunotherapy was right, she went downhill from here.

[chrisbeaman]

Lord, please continue to protect and guide jenny and her family and her doctors. Ease her pain. Amen

I can't believe she's gone 😢 I miss you Jenny 😢

[mariakatamutukenda]

I am watching this and i can't believe you are gone. Rest in peace beautiful Jenny

[wendylu]

I can't believe this is a year ago, Jenny. It's Nov 3 23, and you are home on hospice.😢 Bless you all..such a sad time.

I wish I knew you back then, Jenny. I'm allergic to Sulfa. Bacterium made everything taste like poison. Especially anything with vinegar in it. You have been thru it so long and hard. I can't believe all the side effects from your treatments. That's why you're my hero!! The love you have for your family kept you with us. I love you and will miss your sweet face. I've been asking my son Steven to greet you when you leave this journey. You will be healed and happy!! Heaven is LOVE!! NO Pain, no heartache. That doesn't mean that we will forget you. Don't be scared. 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

I have been depressed lately. I have thought about not wanting to be around anymore. Jennys videos suddenly popped in to my recommended a few weeks ago at one of my lowest points, and while watching them an old memory came to me that I haven't thought of in years. A teacher that once said about people that want to take their own lives, how unfortunate and unappreciative it is when there are mothers dying of cancer, and too bad such people can't give our lives to a mother with young kids who's dying of cancer but who wants really wants to live. It felt like a message from the universe somehow, to be reminded of that statement while seeing Jenny's videos documenting her journey. Jenny had such a purpose here. And she has shown me something. To not take little things, and good health, and just being here, for granted.

Rest in Peace Jenny Apple. You're with the Angels now. ❤

[debmary]

The way Kyle looks at you is just the best. I wish I had that level of love. Much love to you both. Xxoo

[PennyJackson]

We miss you Jenny 💐😔 it’s so nice to hear your voice. The world is so fortunate to have your everlasting footprints here on YouTube, and you will impact the world and help people for all eternity.

I know that you are happy and grateful to be with your baby in heaven ❤ Kyle and the kids will be okay until you meet again, and you know that 🙏🏼🤍🤍🤍
