Jenni’s Story

Site created on May 6, 2024

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated on Jenni’s battle with lung cancer and leptomeningeal disease. I’ve provided some background posts below if you want to catch up on where we’ve been the past couple years. Then I will be proving regular updates here as her treatment moves along.

We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting.

Journal entry by Nate Metcalf

No change in Jenni’s overall state or responsiveness today.  No better…no worse, just holding steady.   All vitals and everything remain good…the only things that get out of whack are her blood sugar (due to the steroids) and her sodium level (apparently a trait of cancer).  Both getting controlled by meds.  

Infection cultures are negative still, so they’re feeling good about that direction. However, even after getting to this point, it can take days for a patient to come out of the state she’s in.   She also got her 3rd round of Ommaya chemo today.  As always, we wait patiently to see how she responds.
