Here's a message from Jenn this morning, further explaining the news that she got yesterday that she'll have to proceed with chemotherapy treatment:
"So it looks like the Over Achiever gets to go all the way! The cancer [tumor] was bigger than the mammogram, ultra sound, or MRI showed. Just over an inch all the way around. Chemo is a must to make sure there are no other sucker cancer cells floating throughout my body. They have also sent my cancer off to a special lab to do more testing. The doctors need more information since it should have been slow growing, not over an inch in size! Dr. Lloyd said the oncologist is going to need to know if the cancer is a stay in the house nice kitty, or a big carnivore-eating kitty that needs to be caged - basically they need to have as much information as possible going into the chemo arena! I'm l looking forward to a new hairdo... Look how gorgeous Mary's new blond hair looks, and Des has the cutest new hair style too, with just a touch of curl. Maybe mine will come back blond and straight! Please thank everyone again for their concern, love, food and prayers. We are humbled by all the support coming our way!"
I promised to take her hat/scarf/wig shopping when I come to Utah in a few weeks to see her. Let's all help her have a lot of fun with finding her new style! I suggest this wig to start - don't you think she'd rock this look?! :)
Hmmm . . . I guess, exploring that is in the realm of possibilities in this world 'even' this Wig in Color of your choice (and, always in GOD - EVERYTHING is POSSIBLE) to make life worth living, Jen ;}

ReplyDeleteHey Jen,
ReplyDeleteI't been years since I last saw you face-to-face, but I've never forgotten your happy, smiley face and great sense of humor! You have been such a super friend to Morry forever, and I know how much that friendship has meant to her - it's preceless. Over the years Morry has kept me informed about you and the many wonderful happenings in your life - your marriage, the birth of each of your kids, etc. I was very saddened to learn of this latest turn of events with breast cancer. I just want you to know that I am a prostate cancer survivor, and my girlfriend, Anju, is a 4-time cancer survivor as well. Our hearts go out to you, Jen. We support you and our thoughts and prayers are with you. You are so strong, and we know you will give it every ounce of energy and spirit that is within you...we are confident that you will climb this hill, Jen. So, be strong and keep that great positive attitude; ride on the strength of the multitude of friends and family who love you, who believe in you and support you! Anju and I send our very warmest regards! Together, we can do this!
