it looms large ...
tomorrow morning, chemo begins! jane is definitely thrown off by this, although she moves forward with grace and ease ... it's the big unknown. everyone is asking if she'll be tired, nauseus, sleepy. will her hair fall out right away, or will it take time; will she cut it all off before it starts to disappear?
actually, we have no idea! we are totally clueless. we have lots of netflix movies and wine, so i think we're pretty much covered. there is a degree of dread in the air, but in reality jane is working today and we're going out for dinner tonight. we really just don't know what's going to happen - how she'll feel, or if she'll be okay tomorrow but not so great on saturday. if i know jane she'll be great both days and beyond.
we've been told that the effects are cumulative - in other words, she might have less energy in march than she does on sunday. we'll go away in the spring to miami to get some r&r; many thanks to maria and daniel (!!!).
jc checked in on me today, treating me to lunch to make sure that i'm okay (i am), and others have been kindly offering their words of support ... all of which has made jane feel as if she's not alone, that she's connected, and that everyone has her in their thoughts - so important for her, particularly at a moment when it's easy to feel isolated.
the kids, you ask? oblivious! a blessing in disguise? deep disguise, i say. good for them. well, we don't have much choice about taking the plunge, so here we go ... we'll keep you posted!
