Meals for the Millers

My goal is for our community to show Jennifer how much we love her. Jennifer gives with all of her heart, from collecting the most cereal to donate to TES PTO to rolling down the street with her ice cream truck. I asked her what we can do? Meal train, gas, money, care? She said, “I like to eat, but I don’t know how long I will be in the hospital.” If you can donate, fantastic, if not, that’s ok too. Send some positive vibes and/or prayers for this beautiful friend of ours. I would love for our community to come together and give Jessi, Jennifer, Michael, and Morgan one less thing to worry about during this difficult time. From Jennifer- UPDATE: 6/14/26 I’ve been waiting to update. I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to say or share but here goes . Friday Jessi and I went to my oncologist , he said that per the pathology report my Cancer back. It’s a recurrence , not a new cancer. I am stage 4 because of the spread. He suggested going back on Chemotherapy. Taxol / carboplatin. I refused his suggestion for the time being. I expressed how Chemo is not something that I ever wanna do again. It was the worst experience of my life. I was sick, tired, weak, exhausted, BALD, and a burden to everyone. The first 5 years I went through this I was told that my tumors were Chemo resistant, it wasn’t until I went to Florida that they found a chemo that would fight it. I don’t want to just throw chemo at it if it’s a strain of resistance. I asked him are there any other options available for us to beat this. He said that he can send my path to genetic testing and have it tested to see if I have any Markers. So right now we are waiting . Waiting for more answers, waiting for a miracle. WAITING FOR A CURE!!! For 10 years I have fought , I have thrown everything I had at it and it’s still winning. I just want to watch my boys grow up. This isn’t fair to them, to my husband who has supported me though sickness and in health. The burden this puts on him is gut wrenching. He has to work harder to pay all the bills, he has to miss work to be with me . The whole world is on his shoulders and I should be able to hold it equally with him. Please pray for us and Pray for my family in the upcoming future. This is gonna be another aggressive battle. 5/22/26 ROUND 5 !!! It’s been 4 1/2 years. Today I found out that I will be having surgery next Friday, May 29th, 2026. 2 weeks ago I had a PET SCAN and bloodwork to check my CA125s . My CA125s were the highest they have ever been and my scan showed some disease on the bottom back of my right lung 🫁 between the lining and the organ. I was then sent to Greenville, SC to a thoracic surgeon. My appointment was for today and he drew us a diagram to show us exactly what he saw on the PET scan. He also stated that there was a spot on the left side top of my right lung as well.  I will be having what is called a Thoracoscopy Wedge Resection. They will make 3 incisions between each pair of ribs, then stretch the ribs apart to get to the areas in question. Then I will have 3 drains put in my side as well, I will be in the hospital 3-4 days. The doctor STRESSED multiple times that this is a very painful procedure. That the healing process is a little slower. He compared the pain to someone who had open heart surgery. Also that my lungs stay inflated and don’t collapse. So keep me in your thoughts , that after this is over we will have clean margins and this will be the end of it. I did have the conversation with my sons today and that was the 2nd hardest conversation I’ve ever had. Morgan (who is 10) looked at me with a straight face and watery eyes and asked “momma, what are your chances?” That knocked the breath out of me. Michael just walked over and held me for a few minutes while trying his best to control his breathing.” The fact that my boys have to go through this again and again and there is nothing I can do about it. That fear in their little eyes is enough to bend the toughest knees. I wanted to updated everyone at one time instead of individually telling everyone. If you see me out and I’m working, or out with my family, please act normal as possible, and don’t bring it up. You are more than welcome to text or call me when I am not in public trying to hold it together because it takes every thing in me to walk tall and face this head on. Thank you all so much for supporting me and for all the prayers. Love you
