In the program, mothers-to-be are encouraged by a well-known mother during the arrival of their baby. Bobbi assisted Jaylin and her husband Jelmer in 2017 during the birth of their daughter Allexa. When Bobbi visits the family four years later, she finds Allexa sick. When Jaylin turned out to be pregnant with her third child, she also found out a week and a half later that her daughter Allexa has cancer. She has a rare cancer, neuroblastoma, which affects her sympathetic nervous system. “Everything has stopped,” she says. It is difficult for Jaylin to find out shortly after the news of her third pregnancy. “We went from a very happy, very beautiful cloud to a completely different story. It was very intense.” Former porn actress Bobbi doesn’t keep it dry. “When I see Alexa. A girl full of life and love, so you want nothing more than such a girl to be healthy. I think it’s intense, ”she says with tears in her eyes.
Despite the terrible news, Jaylin also has a positive update. She says that her daughter’s treatment is going according to plan and therefore going in the right direction. “We are now in the maintenance phase of treatment. He is now receiving immunotherapy. This means that the body itself learns to find and clean up cancer cells.” Allexa’s mother also says she has already had three “clean notches”. “So a complete response to treatment,” Jaylin says with relief. However, Allexa must be kept in check for the rest of her life.
Bobbi admires the way Allexa’s parents are coping with her illness. “We are positive. We are realistic, but also positive, “says Jaylin.” We don’t sit and wait. Let’s move on and enjoy life and that she is there. “Jaylin’s husband, Jelmer, also indicates that” they have no other choice. “They have to stay positive, they think.” When you see how much strength she has, you can only draw strength from it. and be proud of how well he’s doing, ”says Jaylin of his daughter.
Viewers at home also think it’s great how “strong” the parents are. ‘To be told at such a young age that your child is still sick too young. What power is there in Jaylin and his family. Another writes: ‘What a beautiful, strong family! Very impressive to see. ‘
Bobbi tried to raise money for the family last September. On Instagram, she invites her followers to donate, because the family has to go up and down Utrecht’s Princess Máxima Center every week and their car breaks down. Since Jaylin’s contract wasn’t renewed at the time, they could use all the help.
