Jennifer deals with things her way ... that's okay.

Well Jennifer has lost most of her hair, but she is dealing with it with the help of some nice hats and scarves. Candace and I were with her several days ago when Jennifer decided to cut her hair. And as she was brushing it out, most of her hair came out in clumps. I am sure it was a tough moment for her, but it was a private thing and she dealt with it her way. As we mentioned here weeks ago, losing hair is part of the process of chemo-therapy. And yes, Jennifer has lost weight too, but that had a lot to do with the digestive problems after her first round of chemo. Jenn is keeping a lot of these things private. It's her business after all. Jenn and I talk several times a week, sometimes twice a day. If she doesn't want to talk about any certain subject, or a private thing, that's her decision. Jennifer is very strong mentally and amazingly strong emotionally. She is confident that with time, she will be physically strong once again.

Of course she should keep things private! She's the one going through all this not any of us reading your blogs. She is tough but 1 person can only handle so much and as you said that's HER business. I think of her daily and when there's a blog i look forward to knowing her progress but i don't pry and we should all take cue from Jen here and be strong for her. This is happening to her and only her, she's the sick one not any of us that have the luxury of turning our computer on and reading. Stay strong as you can Jen and if you can't then just deal with it the way you want or need to. Much love. Amy...

i totally respect Jen's privacy but I don't know about everyone else,but she is all I think abuot morning afternoon &night.But I also think we should not find information out through the grape vine 2,or 3 days after the fact. We all love her soooo much,we just we to know a.s.a.p. Myself &the rest of my family that doesn't have a computer will all feel more at rest.
