Yeah, I agree with what people say about the dynamic of their relationship. It seems to be a situation where the guy is punching and knows it. But I don’t think it’s toxic - it seems to work for them. I mean, it’s naive for me to believe that social media is a true reflection of any relationship. But I do think he genuinely adores Jenny.

When/if Jenny reappears in videos, I wonder if she will have shaved her head, although this is the least of her problems. Her hair will likely fall out in the next few weeks. Maybe she will be sporting a pretty hat or country-style head covering. I could see her wearing a bonnet like the type seen in the older (40+ year old) series "Little House on the Prairie", which is what the dresses she wore on the farm in Oregon remind me of. Maybe subscribers will have sent her nice caps or other types of head coverings.
(I haven't sent her anything...Sorry, been there done that, and I don't want to repeat what I classify as mistakes of the past on my part. She doesn't need more material things. What she needs, money can't buy (a cure).)

About the proton beam therapy:
I wonder why a cold treatment isn't done so patients' hair doesn't fall out.
Also, I am assuming that Jenny cannot be on O2 while in the proton beam chamber. (True or false?) The nursing staff may notice if Jenny really doesn't need the O2, and inform her not to use it unless she really needs it.

Did you send anything to Tiffany by any chance? You are right, what Jenny needs , money can’t buy.
Hmmm cold cap worked amazingly well for my mum when she had chemo. I don’t think it works with radiation though unfortunately. Jenny won’t be able to use her oxygen but each proton beam therapy session shouldn’t last long 10 minutes or so is all it takes.
either Jenny uses oxygen for comfort which is possible, or her lung has shrunk a little due to the affect of the fluid accumulating for so long.

I think they are a perfect match from things I sense. Very sad for Kyle to lose his soulmate.

I'm glad it worked so well for your Mum. We underestimate the effect of losing hair. It may seem shallow and vain but I think our hair is part of who we are.

Yes, I did after having seen her hospital videos and before the results of her margins that had come back as clear. They were two religious medals that were purchased from shrines, both of Mary. One had some inlaid blue enamel, and I immediately thought of Tiffany and her penchant for blue, so I sent it to her along with another, more plain one, presumably for her mom. I wrote a message in a card for her, also. I didn't expect a 'Thank You', but I thought that maybe I would see her or her mom wearing it in a video. Silly me, of course! I hope she didn't throw them away, but maybe she did. She is sooooo religious and prayerful, right?!😈 The only gifts I recall seeing were a blue heart someone knitted or otherwise crafted for her hanging on a knob in the background in some of her videos, and the battery-powered fake candles her mum had brought to the hospital. She received much more than that, however, as she had filmed herself surrounded by packages people had sent her.

In videos I have seen of Jenny, on the other hand, she wore a scarf that a viewer had sent her, which is a way of showing her appreciation. Jenny really has everything she needs material-wise, and I don't believe Kyle will be in dire straights later on. As people have said in these threads, Kyle was the sole wage earner anyway. Even though he will be paying, presumably, for day care for his children in the future, there will, sadly, be one less mouth to feed in his household. :(. I don't know if they have two cars in their household or not, but if Jenny won't be around anymore, there won't be a need for two cars and the added car insurance and maintenance costs for a second car. However, if there is a medical miracle, then gladly disregard my last two sentences!

One thing I will say is that if I were in Jenny’s situation I’d take all the pain meds I was offered. But then I speak as someone with chronic back pain. Some people just don’t like medication but if it’s going to stop you crying and feeling desperate why wouldn’t you?

We have talked about it earlier. The state, she lives in allows medical assisted suicide. The doctor gives you a presciption, you get the med from the pharmacy and take it whenever you want.
At this time she is still clinging to her life no matter how difficult it is 'for her babies and her prince'.
She is brave and resilient. I would have given up all hope by now.

I don't think she ever was fully on board with her life ending soon until now. I keep forgetting California has medically assisted suicide laws too. I think it was updated last year. My state doesn't and when the time comes I will go to Oregon if able since they have no residency requirements.

I know you say you didn't expect a thankyou, but I find it appalling that Tiffany made no effort to even make a small video to say thank you. You and many others spent your time to select thoughtful and meaningful gifts. Time spent packaging and posting. I'm sorry for you all, I really am.
Unlike Lea who is on hospice care and discusses every message and gift that she receives, its obviously very much appreciated.

Yes, I too have seen Jenny wearing bracelets, scarves and blankets that viewers have sent to her. Jenny always says thankyou and does seem to appreciate those small items. Actually more than the GFM cash donations.

I love medals with Our Lady. Good on you for sending those. The one with blue enamel sounds particularly nice. If Tiff got rid of those, then she is even more of an egg than I thought.

Yes! That's why I thought it was weird they seemed really surprised to hear the prognosis recently.

I'm just pointing out (regarding Jennys period) that Kyle really does go above and beyond in helping Jenny.

Regarding the legal stuff. I suppose Jenny & Kyle always held on to hope that Jenny may be cured, that Jenny may be the miracle case. I personally would have done it all soon after prognosis because I generally do prepare for the worst & hope for the best. Previously Jenny never wanted to know her prognosis, but at this stage I suppose the oncologist will have wanted to be completely open and honest with them both.
I hope that Jenny hearing her prognosis doesn't mentally cause her to 'give up'.

City of Hope hospital runs some great programmes for carers, patients and children. I hope Kyle reaches out to them
Their little boy would be old enough to benefit from the virtual support.
