This is a blog to update people about Jennifer's breast cancer--you can leave comments, ask questions, but please DO NOT LEAVE ANY PINK RIBBONS!

Why I'm writing this blog
If you're reading this blog you are more than likely related to or friends with Jennifer. Or perhaps you are someone with breast cancer or know someone with breast cancer. Either way welcome--I started this as an almost purely information-dissemination device, but I may end up actually processing more emotional and philosophical reflections as my treatment continues. One thing you should know: I will be fairly blunt about what I'm going through and will not be invoking the standard narrative tropes of other breast cancer supposedly-inspirational rhetoric (the whole "journey" metaphor for example will NOT be used here). Anyway, that's what this blog is about--giving people information on what I'm going through. Read or don't read--it's entirely up to you.
