This may not seem like a big deal, but it is. Jett got her ears pierced a few days ago and is now wearing earrings again. It is a big deal because she had to remove her earrings back in May when radiation treatments began and has had to keep them out due to CT scans and MRIs. Getting her ears pierced and starting to wear earrings again is a sign of both recovery and defiance – she is not going to let cancer rule her life.
