Privacy, Peace, and Protection

Dear everyone with Team Janet,

Janet is currently in a similar situation to former UCLA basketball coach John Wooden, receiving critical health care and undergoing intensive treatment. This is her reality now. She will be going on a hiatus from writing as she receives medical attention from specialists on a host of issues that have occurred because of her treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Side effects of her chemotherapy treatments mean her liver is “very angry right now” and she doesn’t know about the condition of her kidneys. ALT and AST levels are extremely high. Her LD levels are very high too. She is currently coping with peripheral neuropathy and is limping on one leg. She is also coping with a lot of anxiety and is finding it very difficult to sleep and gain rest. These side effects, and others, are the real battle scars that chemotherapy leaves. On the outside she may appear to be a very
young 23-year old woman, but on the inside she has gained the maturity and insight of someone closer to 45 or 50 years old. Janet uses everything she knows intellectually and what she’s learned in life lessons to communicate with her health care team.

For the moment, the “Commander-in-Chief”/Head General of Team Janet has elected to wage furious, albeit private, warfare. She asks that you please keep her in your prayers, and protect her as big brothers and sisters. Know that she is doing everything she can to gain and keep control of the situation and is frequently strategizing with her health care team and specialists to protect her health and save her life. She has asked us to write and communicate this to you under her alias for the blog.

Sincerely with much gratitude,
Team Janet
