Emmy Award-winning costume designer Janie Bryant was immersed in the world of Taylor Sheridan last spring when she started experiencing “weird stomach pains.” The stabbing pains were sometimes followed by vomiting, leading Bryant to consider it food poisoning or perhaps irritable bowel syndrome.
“Then, I liked a little bit of research and I was like, ‘Oh, I’m anemic,’ because when you’re anemic, sometimes you might vomit or have stabbing pains,” Bryant explained on the latest episode of the show. Lisa Guerrero UnleashedHosted by her best friend. I have tried copper and other treatments to no avail. “When I got to Montana, I said to myself, ‘OK, that’s enough. I have to go see a gastroenterologist.” When I went to my appointment, the doctor said to me, “Oh, you probably have an ulcer, but let’s do a colonoscopy and let’s also find out what’s going on.” As I was coming out of anesthesia, my doctor, Dr. Walsh in Bozeman, looked at me and said, “Janie, you’re really sick.”
Dr. Walsh assured Bryant that she had a tumor that needed to be removed immediately. At the time, Bryan said she was juggling work on Sheridan’s shows the Madison, Dutton RankHe delivers Landman. So she sent an email to her boss Sheridan and other colleagues saying she was dealing with some “personal issues,” and declined to go into detail. “I felt like it was nobody’s business,” Bryant said, adding that she didn’t want anyone to feel sorry for her. “This energy is not healthy; it’s low vibration. That’s not what I need. I want people to feel brave and feel strong for me and to have that energy around them.”
Bryant continued that she wanted to consider speaking directly to her cancer patient, saying, “‘Cancer, thank you so much for showing me where I need to heal myself.’ It’s about thanking Him and praising Him and loving Him and all those things, to have that kind of energy reach your body, to all your cells.”
For treatment, Bryant returned to Los Angeles where she “found amazing doctors and nurses” to help remove the tumor, which she said was localized. During surgery, they removed the entire colon. Guerrero praised her friend for showing strength and resilience throughout her entire cancer journey. “You were a warrior through everything. I remember just looking at you and being so weak and losing so much weight, but you had a big smile on your face and saying, ‘Yes, I’m going to these appointments and I’m going to get through them.'” “I didn’t cry in front of you, but it was hard to see you like that. And the fact that you were able with such dignity and grace to get through that and keep working…because I mean, in all honesty, your strength through all of this was inspiring.”
