In case you're wondering, Jinni still has breast cancer. I just have given the subject a rest for two reasons.
First, her MRI comes up on Monday and her initial oncology appointment won't happen until this coming Friday so there has been no new news on the medical front... so we won't know much more until then.
Second, we are just now settling into what the next several months will hold and we are simply trying to fathom it all. It's a pretty big thing to get your arms around but we are still very positive, expecially with all of the words of support and encouragement we continue to recieve from far flung, and close-in, family and friends and strangers.
A couple of things, though....
Jinni is more concered about losing her hair than anything else about what we are getting into - and with good reason - because she does have beautiful hair. If it comes to pass that she starts losing her mane, she has decided to get it cut and donate the locks to one of those outfits that makes wigs for children who need them.

Tonight, at the football game, Jinni and 13 year-old daughter Josie were scheduling and planning, as they are wont to do.
Jinnii: "... so, if I get a chemo treatment on November 19th or so, I'll probably be feeling pretty good by Thanksgiving so all of the cooking and stuff will get done."
Josie: "You think the heavy down time will only be three or four days after each treatment?"
Jinni: "That's what I'm hearing. So... I 'll probably get my second treatment around mid-December, so I'll be up to getting Christmas stuff finalized.
Josie: "Wouldn't it have been better to get cancer in the summer?"
