I feel that sharp intelligence and the love you have for your family and friends in everything you write. For me there is joy in my day by doing what you already do - the things I like to do for those I love. And always something creative. Your daughter is obviously a jewel and is everything you would want her to be.
When life crowds in on me I make things. For me that means cutting out pieces of fabric and stitching them together - making new patterns and shapes as I push the world away. Time hovers somewhere nearby as I work but it changes to a distant thing that skims barely touching me. It helps to make things.
I hope your writing gives you that gift of separation even as you write about your days.
May hope shine on you every day and every night and every hour like a waterfall of light and love. I’m sending my ardent hope to add to yours and the great mountains of hopes of all those who love you in order to make a magnificent blaze that nothing will dim. 🙏🤲 ❤️
Jennifer, you are brave and doing a very fine job of dealing with awful circumstances. The future is always unknown to all of us. Don’t worry about crying; crying lets the sadness out so you can move on to focusing on the best moments of the present.
Jennifer--thanks for this update. You will be very much in my thoughts. I'm not sure how much this information is viable or up-to-date, but you mention an interest in CAR-T, and my internet searching thus far calls up this reference to an ARC article (link here: https://www.fondation-arc.org/les-cellules-car-t-une-therapie-high-tech-au-deploiement-precautionneux) which refers to Docteur Sophie Caillat-Zucman, at l'hôpital St. Louis in Paris. I've found her email address at INSERM, here: sophie.caillat@inserm.fr
Your writing is inspirational even when you are experiencing hardship. For me this reflects the beauty of your being and your immense talent. I am thankful you had time in NYC and that we were able to get together. Sending love to you and the Ts. 😘
You can make your own hope, Jennifer. You have already been doing so, with your summer travel and your recognition of the precious nature of each and every day. Tim and Thea are modeling it for you as well. It's there. Take hold of it. I know you can do this. xoxo
Dear Jennifer -- thank you for sharing this sobering news, with your typical elegance and precision. I won't offer pity, only an extension of love and solidarity. My own pool of cancer friends has been hit with several shocking and scary incidences of recurrence lately, and I've found myself meditating on how lucky I am to have (thus far) not been so chosen. It's teaching me to be more mindful of *everyone's* struggle, and to try and be more intentional about reaching out with care and support. Your newsletter is such a wonderful model for how to care for oneself as a patient and also to communicate hard things to those of us on the outside. Thank you for it! I'm thinking of you from Chicago.
I don't know if you've seen this article: https://everyone.org/blog/is-elahere-approved-in-europe
