Just when I least expected it!

Well I actually never thought I would be posting here again. And how ironic for it to be a little over 2 years since my last update.
Since my last post I have been very diligent about my 6 month doctor appointments with the breast surgeon and oncologist. Never missing an appointment. Always obeying when to have test done. All of my blood work came back good. My tumor marker numbers have never elevated. No concerns for the doctor. No concerns for me. I had a doctor appointment on Dec 23rd and some tests done between then and Jan 6Th.
I received an unexpected phone call on Jan 11, 2011 that a routine 6 month test had some areas of concern and was given a time to be at the oncologist the next day.
I was then told with out " beating around the bush" that the cancer has returned. There are spots in my liver and in both lungs. The doctor was just as shocked with the test results as I. So Now the diagnosis is called Metastatic Breast Cancer.The plan of action is to start chemotherapy on Feb3, 2011. I will have chemo every three weeks for about 6 rounds. After 3 rounds they will do a pet scan and determine further action. I will be also receiving Herceptin which I received after I was done with chemo in 2007.This time it will be administered with the chemo.
I will post again when I have other news to post. Please Pray for the Anglim Family.
Feel free to bring Paul out for some heckling. He'll need to release too. Thanks for your support and prayers. Feel free to email or comment. I'll need to do some positive reading too.
I've heard many times "God only gives you the cross you can carry" I thought I already new myself? I told the kids that God carries you when you are weak, but I told them I wanted to walk and follow his foot steps.
