Making the most of it.....

Well, I haven't posted since my appointment with the oncologist. I was prepared for the worst and I guess that's what I heard. My first treatment is August 24. I have a treatment every 3 weeks for 18 weeks. I WILL lose all of my hair, according to the dr. It's what I need to do to give me the best chance at a long and healthy life. 18 weeks is nothing when you look at the big picture. Soooo...I called mom and my sister and we had a field trip today. We went wig shopping!! Instead of all of us crying and being depressed that we were even having to do this..We made it fun! We just played dress up for a few hours. It was actually kind of fun. I think I'm going to wear one all of the time.


Playing around with long hair!!!!





The glam look. I just need some Jackie O sunglasses and I'd be good to go!



The final pick! (in a different color)

  1. Jen, Love to see that smile on your face. As I have said before - you will look stylish no matter what and we will probably all want to go get the scarfs for ourselves, seriously! Sorry I missed that fun day. Love ya,sis!

  2. Love the wig. Not a fan of the scarf look. It reminds me of moomoos! LOL! I've always thought I would want to have my head painted once if I were bald...

    I'm glad you made it a fun day with your mom and Jacque. My friend Susie did the same thing and had a similar attitude as yours and it made a huge difference. And it's a positive testimony to those around you about God's love and provision.

Welcome to Jen's Journey of Faith

If you are looking at this blog, you probably already know that I was diagnosed with Stage 2 Invasive Breast Cancer on July 1, 2009. It came as an absolute shock to me and my family. I love the Lord Jesus Christ, he is my Savior and I wouldn't be able to go on without my personal relationship with Him! His is a peace that passes all understanding! And there is know way on earth I can come to understand why I got cancer at the age of 37. But, the fact is I did and I intend to make the most out of this experience. God has chosen me to endure this and I consider it an honor that he found me strong enough to be able to beat this! He doesn't give us anything we can't handle! He must have a lot of faith in me! I named this blog Jen's Journey of Faith, because that's exactly what this is. The only way I can complete this journey is by complete faith in Him! Let the Journey begin..........
