KING 5 News' Jesse Jones taking a leave of absence

amaraa88 said on September 13, 2011 at 7:11 PM

Jesse wish you long and healthy life, I know you can win this. My prayers for you. You have done so much GREAT to many average Americans and you'll get all the prayers from them, God and Everyone who know about you are with you. Please bit that come back to us.

kcee15 said on September 10, 2011 at 5:25 PM

Wow, I have heard in the past how much Jessie has done for others and was talking to a good friend about her circumstances and asked her if she had contacted Jessie. Her reply was “no and I can not remember his last name”. I told her neither could I. I told her I would look into it for her. Then I found that Jessie has been battling Kidney Cancer. My heart sunk to my feet, as will hers when she finds this out. I have nothing but “wellness” thoughts for you Jessie and your family. Hope this finds you well and happy. Our hearts go out to your family. Kathleen and Mickey,

maxieru65 said on June 8, 2011 at 8:13 PM

May you have a speedy and a smooth path toward recovery. I pray that you remain cancer free and have a healthy lifetime. Come on Jesse... fight it like you fought for so many of us - we need more people like you! May God Bless and may the wind be always at your back. See you back on King 5 real soon.

lindam45 said on April 20, 2011 at 4:30 PM

I wish you well Jesse and think you're an AWESOME man. You will be missed until your return!! I will pray for a quick recovery for you. I really had a good scoop for you too darn it... How the Seattle PD, still isn't listening... I've written them about John J Hauff Jr , several times and no one paid attention, now he has harmed another girl only this time he got caught. I look forward to your return. Hugs

patricktrythal said on March 11, 2011 at 3:31 AM

I can't wait to see you come back from this... There is no doubt from this angle... YOU GOT THIS!!! You may be off the job- but you'll continue to work hard. Thats what strong folks do. See you when you get back.

Suze0mai said on March 10, 2011 at 12:20 PM

Go Jesse! Just to pass along a tip that may help you. It has been shown in several studies that turmeric has cancer-fighting properties. Many people have found that taking some turmeric every day helps shrink tumors and decreases the chances of the cancer spreading. You can get empty veggie caps to fill your own capsules. A little black pepper mixed into the turmeric powder apparently helps with the effectiveness. It won't harm you, and may help prevent a recurrence. Come back strong, Jesse!

RedHead99 said on March 7, 2011 at 1:34 AM

Good luck Jesse. It has been ten years since I had my radiation ten years ago this month. I'm a survivor And you are too. Keep up the positive additude and just keep on going don't let it get you down or beat you. You can beat it. I'm praying for you and thinking of you always. You can do it. Cannot let it get you down. If you need a a laugh sometime give me a call and I will make you laugh so that life is not all that bad. Good luck and I have faith you will beat this. Love in God, SH

djmeston said on March 5, 2011 at 8:58 PM

Hello Jesse, I am so sorry to hear about your battle with cancer. I know that it is difficult, but you will over come this. Just to give you a little bit of an uplifting story. I have an old friend of mine who I use to work with. She ended up quitting because her husband,did not like her away from home so often. She quit, and ended up being diagnosed with Non-hodgkins lymphoma. which, I think she told me has only a 17% survival rate. she went through years of chemo, drinking it, being injected,you name it. Had permanent tatoos where the lasers entered her body. But, she had faith and hung in there. And went into remission. Thank God. But, she was told she would never be able to have children because of all the chemo. She was broken hearted. Not only had her marriage come to an end. Now she couldnt have children. I lost touch for awhile, then ran into her a few years back. She was at the gas station, with her beautiful daughter! Have faith Jesse. you are in my prayers. Dj

riderinthewind said on March 4, 2011 at 12:06 PM

Jesse, as a two time cancer survivor myself, I am wishing you the best. Hoping you make it back soon to do what you so obviously enjoy.

It is now February and we welcome you back with open arms. We also wish you the best at keeping this cancer away and getting you healthy again. Enjoy your life to the fullest and keep up the good work you do at getting businesses to be honest. That is really making a difference to many. Thank you.

runwithscissors said on February 28, 2011 at 9:39 PM

Hey Jesse, of course I don't know you but I wanted to wish you all the best in this fight of yours... My mom's fighting lung cancer and I pray for her every night. I will add you to my prayers. Keep strong and know that the will of God will never take you where the love of God cannot sustain you. Peace...

kcavar said on February 25, 2011 at 7:37 PM

Jesse, I didnt know you had taken a leave of absence. My mom had kidney cancer and reading this really hit home with me. You came out to my house before and I did a interview with you about my deceased dad's cell phone bill. I feel like I kind of choked when the camera came on but still am proud that I had a chance to work with you. You are such a genuine person. I hope the best for you treatments and wish you well with dealing with this recovery. You are the best! Enjoyed watching you get shaved tonight on the news. I was wondering about your new grey high lights in your go-T. You look good both ways. I had to send you a positive comment since you said you have been getting negatives about your go T. Keep up the good work you do for making things right in this world. Kelley Cavar

fyrefrost said on February 25, 2011 at 11:43 AM

Jesse - Praying for you! You may actually be back to work, and I hope you are. God Bless You! Deb Ulsh

islandclint said on February 23, 2011 at 7:54 PM

re: Dick's towing segment, has the woman been advised to check her credit rating? Dick;s owes her a fix on that too. Maybe should pay for credit check too. BTW, good luck on your recovery; from an NHL mantle cell lymphoma survivor (2006 and counting)

davesinissy said on February 22, 2011 at 12:53 PM

Our prayers are with you Jesse. A friend of mine was diagnosed with Leukemia a year ago and was told he only had a month or two left. His wife read and did everything she could to help fight his cancer. She bought a water ionizer which changes water into akaline water and changes the PH in your system. Cancer is attracted to acidic cells and because of the foods we eat most of us have an inbalance PH. The water is full of antibodies which helps detox your body. She also change his diet to more akaline foods and vegetables. My friend just passed away after living 18 months and was feeling pretty good. Since my friend started to drink the water our other friends started buying and drinking the water with results of losing weight, aches and pains gone, diabetes under control. Check out Life Ionizers.

laurielj said on February 21, 2011 at 6:06 PM

you may already be doing this, but no pop or other acidic beverages (cancer loves acid) drink alkaline water, lots of it, eat a more primitive alkaline diet. JUICE! Many who seriously hydrate with the proper water (tap and bottled are acidic and oxidizing and we can prove it) overcome this monster by not giving it what it needs. Essentia is one of the better bottled waters, made in Bothell, but nothing can replace fresh out of an ionizer as is used all over the world where they don't have the cancer and health probs we do here. We do water clinics to educate people about water...because most think water is water and that is not so. You may find Dr Lorraine Day's DVD of interest...she is a doctor who cured her cancer. We need you well and out there kicking you know what! Need help? I'm there.

edied said on February 17, 2011 at 11:05 AM

Jessee: It is so wonderful to have you back and to know you are fighting your illness head on. Prayers go forth to you and Hope we are never without you on the news again. It just isn't the same. You make such a difference.

shailesh_tatu said on February 16, 2011 at 10:26 PM

Welcome back, Jesse! I wish you all the best in your recovery. I want to thank you and your staff/crew for helping me overcome a Christmas Eve towing nightmare. Within a week after contacting your staff I was fully reimbursed by my auto insurance company for the 15 mile towing charges of $512 by City Wide Towing. Your program is providing a crucial counter balance for the consumers. Please keep it up!

barbie552 said on February 16, 2011 at 8:30 PM

Dude! You always look so healthy and energetic and upbeat that I'm taken aback by this news. I'm also reminded, again, to appreciate people as much as possible. It's so nice to have you and what you do as a part of the world, I love how you get justice for the little guy. It's like the movies where someone has a superpower that allows them to make the bullies submit, to make the creeps cower, to make the jerks shut up! Also, you seem like a really nice man, a disappearing breed. When you come back in February you will have a pile of work to catch up on, with all the creeps, bullies and jerks thinking they have a little breathing room. I look forward to watching you clean house. Hugs and prayers to you for a successful fight of your own. Peace. Barbara

tigercommand23q said on February 16, 2011 at 7:00 PM

Hey Jesse Get well we miss you

fischerking said on February 15, 2011 at 12:35 PM

Why is it that, the people who do so much for others, often end up needing so much? This feels unfair man. Jesse my family and I wish you the nest in your battle. You are courageous, optimistic and strong. I hope you have a "Jesse Jones" working in your corner. Cant wait to see you back on the air! Kurt Fischer - Edmonds, WA.

tobylou333751501 said on February 14, 2011 at 8:01 PM

Oh Jesse ...I have missed you so much. I had no idea where you were. I just saw your thank you message. I am so sorry you had to go through this. I am glad it is looking good. Please take care of you. We LOVE listening to "Jesse Jones, King 5 News" My husband says it all the time only with his name! LOL. Hugs from us both Toby & Ron Wilcox Redmond

montball said on February 14, 2011 at 7:44 PM

Jesse, Sorry to hear of your ailment ...Just seen you were back on the news Question I dont know if this is the place to ask it. Because of the great amount of deficet in the bugeting ...Since you and I have to pay for our own cars and gas to get to and from work ...Shouldnt the Sheriffs ,State Police and others park their vehicles at a common area where they can be used for another shift. When I was younger my friends father worked at the county garage the cars were there for maint..but were used for at least two if not more shifts unless maint was needed.... today we have unmarked cars which I belive should be done away with unless they are Detective s. A black and white as they are called control better response to the public ,because of presence...and how much cost is it to maintaine these extra vehicle with cost and officers taking them some . I bet the budget could save millions with some sencible thought in these areas... Any way thanks for your time . Thanks Mont

Jesse, we certainly miss you on the news. Hope that you are feeling okay and on the road to recovery. Get lots of rest.

pinoue said on February 9, 2011 at 6:44 PM

Jesse, Moved to Seattle in 2007 from Hawaii. Started watching King 5 because Lori Matsukawa is from Hawaii and I liked your sign off line. "Jesse Jones King 5 news!!" Lost my best friend' s wife in 2009 to pancreatic cancer. As I introduced them in 1964 they are very special to me. I know what your loved ones are going through and I for wish them strength and hope. We love watching your segments and your help to so many people is inspiring. In Hawaii we call it kokua or help and it is a huge part of who we are and what we do as Hawaiian born people. Onipaa means to be steadfast. Believe! What goes around really does come around and you have spread Aloha through your reports and it will come back to you. Don't give up and fight the good fight. You will win and we are all pulling for you. The good news is if your hair falls out no one will ever know! Aloha, Paul Inoue and Danette Emoto your fans from Hawaii

jpm316 said on February 9, 2011 at 2:37 PM

what ever you do, DO NOT, apply at staples. its false advertisment to all job seekers. they have been doing this for the past 3 or 4 years. they have a table set up with a we're hiring sign and some staples shirts and some other material. i just tried to re-apply for my old job and the manager over at the issaquah store that they were fully staffed. i call bs on this, because one of my buddies that works there said that they were in fact hiring.

Jesse, Hope your treatment is going as well as possible and that you will be back on schedule in February. I remember when I first began seeing you report for King 5. From the moment I heard your signature sign-off "Jesse Jones, King 5 News" I knew you were special. Even if I didn't care about the story you were reporting I listened just to hear your delivery and your sign-off! Be well soon.

harter said on January 3, 2011 at 10:47 PM

Dear Jesse and family: We are praying you will soon be well. Sending you good thoughts for 2011 to you and your family. Miss you on your daily broadcasts and looking forward to your return in Feb. You must return as the caring, fun-loving reporter you are. Think miracle. You can do this with God's help. Sincerely, The Harters

Jesse and Family, We are with you in this fight. Right now my mother and my mother-in-law are dealing with cancer. You are in my prayers every day and every night. I told God he can't have you yet because we're not done with you. We need you here to help us win our battles against fraud and abuse! Someone like you is too special to be taken young. Fight hard and get better! We're waiting for your next Jesse Report. We are all addicted to "Get Jesse!" Take Care. We Love you!

msannie5 said on January 1, 2011 at 9:41 PM

Jesse, You have become a member of our family, and we wish you well!! Haven't had to "get Jesse" yet, but we have come reeeeeally close.. However "I'm callin' Jesse" is a familiar phrase in the house when we are goofing around.. We can be really silly, it keeps us healthy :) You are wonderful and do SO MUCH good! We are hoping and praying you are completely all well SOON!!

commonsensewa said on January 1, 2011 at 1:44 AM

Jesse, all our best wishes are with you during this trial. As a cancer survivor the best piece of advice I was ever given was, "it's gotta catch me before it kills me!" Never surrender Jesse and never stop fighting.

jcman said on December 31, 2010 at 12:56 AM

artscca said on December 22, 2010 at 10:54 AM

Kidney Cancer is sneaky. It can come back years later in other body parts so can never be completely ignored. That said, we have a woman in Bremerton who is an almost 20 year survivor of Stage 4 thanks to the same Immunotherapy you are undergoing. You are welcome to join in with our Kidney Cancer support group at your convenience. Next meeting is being set up for January 29 and will be on the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance calendar. Best wishes for your battle.

lisagailbrown said on December 21, 2010 at 8:35 AM

Dear Jesse, I am sorry you and your family are having to journey down the RCC path. My husband has been battling the beast for over 5 years. Originally found 11/04 and metastasized 5/06. Many new drugs have come out over the last 5 years that have made for better prognosis for people. There are many people outside of the hospital or cancer facility that can be of tremendous support to you and your family. Best wishes.

Dear Jesse, In the face of this disease, may you find comfort and solace by the love of your family and friends as well as a community that embraces the joy you exude. As I am an adult child of a parent that has very recently been diagnosed with a rare type of lung cancer however; detected early and am aware of the need for time. I will continue to pray for a successful recovery and that peace flows throughout your family and friends during this time. We look forward to seeing you on air doing your consumer advocacy for all of us again soon.

Jesse- Please help spread the awareness of kidney cancer! My husband was diagnosed in Aug of this year. You hear so much about so many cancers but never kidney cancer. By the time he was diagnosed, he was stage IV. He had symptoms for 2 years and no doctor put 1 and 1 together to even test for it. As tough as this is, it could be a huge benefit to all of those who will be diagnosed in the future by helping to create knowlege and an awareness that may result in an earlier diagnosis.

adaramama said on December 18, 2010 at 7:55 AM

Jessie, I also have Kidney cancer, and speaking as one who knows, this is not an easy road. I have been fighting this thing for five years this month. As you know we now have some medical options that can extend our lives. I hope you are doing well, and that you will continue the fight. When someone is as well known as yourself, shares this awful condition with the public, we all benefit. Thank you for that. I pray that you will do well with your fight, I am currently in remission, on my third drug. All my best, Ron shepherd

Jesse, Best of luck for a full and speedy recovery. You're as tenacious as they come and I have no doubt that you'll whip this with ease. Your reports make an otherwise dreary news outlook into something worth watching. You're a credit to your profession. Beat this...beat this hard! God's speed.

bigmac47 said on December 17, 2010 at 4:16 PM

I can't express my surprise at the latest announcement. You bring a refreshing human presences to TV. Your investigative segments are always a wonderful "great one for the little guy". First I know that you have the fighting soul within you to win the battle ahead of you. I would like to add my own spirit to your fight, I will think often and positive thoughts. Keep up the good fight for the 'not so little' guy. Rick

I've watched Jesse's reports for his full tenure at KING and just want to share my deepest wishes for his full recovery from this latest health issue;not a health scare, but rather another opportnity to prove his mettle in fighting for everyone, even himself. Keep up the great work, Jesse, and I and my family will be waiting for your triumphant return to help those in our community who are in dire need!!

asteria said on December 17, 2010 at 7:57 AM

Jesse - I had no idea you were battling cancer too. I'm so grateful for your help when I was trying to get my money back from a company selling religious statues. I was terrified of being on TV, but you put me at ease and were so kind to me. You're going to be missed over these next two months! I hope you'll sing us a round of "Hot Stuff" when you feel well enough again. I'm sure I'm not alone here! I remember sitting there just talking to you, and I made an off-hand remark about how interesting your job must be. Your face lit up when you said, "I LOVE my job! I get to help people." Well, we all greatly appreciate it. You've got the love and support of the whole region behind you, Jesse. Stay strong!

jdragan said on December 17, 2010 at 7:52 AM

My husband and I greatly appreciate and enjoy your Get Jesse segment. Even though you come off as a gentle giant, you absolutely get the job done. Well, we're looking forward to Getting Jesse back so that the scoundrels out there can be held to task. Most important, however, is that you take care of yourself and don't rush your recovery. Along the way, I want to encourage you to celebrate every victory in your healing, no matter how small. I find that if I celebrate every little victory - rather than waiting for the monumental ones - I have more celebrating to do in the process. With many blessings being sent your way - we wish you well.

Jesse.. Wishing you God-speed in your recovery. You have become such an integral part of so many people's lives . In fact, at work when we are discussing anything regarding being fair, honest, openly responsible in one's actions, we'll say "Don't make me call Jesse!" Best Wishes

yorkstergirl said on December 16, 2010 at 10:45 PM

Wishing you a speedy and complete recovery Jesse! We will miss you the next few months, but look forward to your return in February. We have been your fans for a long time, and need you back sooner than later! Be well, take care of yourself, and wishing you a very HEALTHY New Year! Most sincerely, Sandy from Silverdale

May God go with you during the treatments. We will miss you on the TV until you get well again to rejoin CH 5. I really dig your part. It is to the point and helpful. Bless you

katie59 said on December 16, 2010 at 10:18 PM

Jesse! I'm so sorry that you're going through this. Clearly you are a fighting man and you're getting to the home stretch. I will visualize the day when you and your family no longer have to think about this or go through any more treatments. Know that we are there with you in spirit. We will miss you while you're gone and hope to see you again soon!

Hi Jesse: Since moving to Seattle in November 2005 I have become a big fan of yours, Jesse, and the reason is your big heart. You have accomplished so much for so many people. So many times people who had been subjected to injustices called upon you for assistance and you delivered splendidly. My prayers and good wishes go with you. Get well, my friend, and I look forward to seeing you back on the job soon on King 5 News. May you and your family experience a great holiday season along with a great 2011. All the best, Bill Hare

Jesse, you are such an inspiration to so many, much more than you can ever realize. I for one am very saddened to learn of your battle with cancer. You have so many in your corner cheering you on. I for one will miss seeing you on King5 until you return. You have always been our favorite King5 personality. Be strong and keep your spirits high. You can win this fight!!

melika said on December 16, 2010 at 8:12 PM

ckbklady said on December 16, 2010 at 8:02 PM

My husband and I are cheering for you! You're a delight to watch on TV, not just because you approach misbehaving companies with such persistence, but because you save frazzled people from another minute of frustration. You make people's lives better, so I'm expecting that the people's love for you will make YOU better! You so deserve it. Keep fighting, Jesse, and if the doctors tell you anything you don't agree with, do what I do. Sit back, smile and say, "Oh, you can do better than that. Come on, do you want me to Get Jesse?"

fleetwood said on December 16, 2010 at 8:01 PM

Jesse a true man of GETTER DONE in real life. You'll be back, (your attitude will see you back), and we pray for a man of True Grit...(You will need a patch over one eye.) You're not done by any stretch of the imagination dude.......... Sorry for white guys as examples but you see the meaning. Your are missed and a swift recovery please.

charleylechein said on December 16, 2010 at 7:19 PM

Mr. Jones, Your actions have helped many in situations where they often did have someone to turn to, they turned to you. I thought there must be some way that the public can assist you, as you helped so many. Prayers are way to start, and they are always a good thing, but I feel that we might be able to do something more. As the story mentioned, you found this out in an annual checkup, maybe intended or not, you have given us more help, maybe its a reminder for all of us, both men and women get those annual checkups. I sure hope you get better, I will add you to the people I pray for. Jean Emerson can have yo as a guest on her medical news and updates program! Hint Hint to KING 5 for a production idea !
