i somehow forgot to mention that jane has received the results of her BRCA test - mysteriously, they are inconclusive! neither positive or negative, they do not indicate whether she should be on tamoxifen, have her ovaries removed, or simply poke out her eyes with a sharpened stick - ugghhh! she feels battle weary and zonked from this episode, as it simply means that more information must be gathered ... strange that this 'mutation' is not clearly visible one way or the other. so once again a question mark hangs over jane's head ... that BRCA is like a burkah, smothering her so!
on a different note, we go wig shopping at lunch (speaking of smothering), meeting at the mall for a quick bite ... kids firmly back in school, we ourselves are able to resume a semi-normal life ... work, daily routine, etc. which is most welcome. jane tries on a few fetchin' numbers, and looks quite good - as a friend remarks later in the day: 'did you ever think one year ago that you'd be going wig shopping???' so true.
i'm toiling over dinner so that we can all sit down together for a family evening, to hear about the 'first day back' for the kids ... friends, school work, etc.. we eagerly await diving into our dessert - a lovely pale green box of ladurée macarons fresh off the plane from paris (courtesy of r&j - merci as always for thinking of us!).
a couple more days to 'countdown' chemo - we've ordered netflix movies to watch on jared's dvd player as the treatment courses through her body - something to distract us as we take our first steps on this new road. helvetica, the lives of others, and the gods grew tired of us (no, not a euphemism for this specific situation!).
