A few people have wondered just where we got the title for this little chunk of blogdom. While it definitely enjoys a bit of future kismet resonance with what we imagine will be Karen's eventual hair loss from treatment, the truth is that we like Wig In a Box because of this song from Hedwig and the Angry Inch. While we don't exactly relate to the plight of an abandoned East German botched transsexual we do relate to the generally resilient attitude of the song/character. And of course as recovering BFA/MFA grads, the whole thing fires up the synapses of the show tune nerve that still sizzles along our spine, no matter how hard we try to pretend we've outgrown it.
In terms of updates, there's not much to report. We've secured an appointment for the new PET, CT, and MRI scans for later this week. And we should have the new biopsy appointment nailed down in a day or so. That appointment is going to be a whole lot of fun. The biopsy doc will be inserting a long needle in Karen's side and driving it into her lung to get tissue. The only appointment that really matters is the one on December 12 with the oncologist when we find out just how bumpy the road ahead will be. Fingers are resolutely crossed.
