Long overdue update

First off I have been doing great and feel fabulous except for being tired.....but hey I'm a home schooler and a mom of 3 Littles ages 7 and under so what an added extra fatugue? Haha! I am currently in round 2 of my chemo. This is the weekly treatments for 12 weeks. I just completed my 9th treatment overall (including the 1st 4) and I have 7 weeks to go. I only had 1 reaction this time but that was b/c they distributed it different the 3rd week. They do a gradual increase the first 2 weeks to make sure you dint have a reaction and take your vitals as well. Well the 3rd week they staryed it full trickle and my body did t like that so.......we are now back to a gradual increase and I do fine with that. Otherwise all is going well and everyone is amazed at how well I am doing.

 I wanted to give an update on what my Oncologist said today.

She is so happy that I am doing so well (she told me I was inspiring) and that I am well over half way there (considering where I started back in July!). W/in the next few weeks they will get all my tests scheduled, the tests are all repeated scans from my first ones and are:
bone scan
ct scans
breast mri
and maybe my echo (she didnt say this one but most likely)
Then I will be scheduled to meet with my surgeon and plastic surgeon to schedule a date for surgery (this is the one that I am TERRIFIED OF) only b/c well it's a major surgery and it just scares me, but I know it is a must and good for my body to rid the cancer hopefully FOREVER!
I will also meet with a Radiation Oncologist to talk to him ( I will start radiation 6 weeks after surgery)
I still have a long ways to go but it is starting to become more and more real as I approach the major part of my fight. Prayers for peace are greatly appreciated. I have been on an emotional roller coaster for awhile now and the closer this all gets the worse it becomes.

I am NOT finished though. Because it metastasized to my bones (called secondary breast cancer) they still have to treat me for metastatic cancer. Even if the bone scan shows that the 2 spots went away they will still treat me. This will include monthly infusions, and chemo pills (one will protect and strengthen my bones around the cancer "pit holes." This will be long term perhaps for life. It really stinks but I am ok with it b/c it only prolongs my life and it is preventative.

The thing that I am most scared of in my upcoming scans is that they will find more cancer. I know these thoughts are only from the Evil one but they are very real and I know that anyone else in my shoes would feel the same. The Chemo is doing it's job and I am relying on my great physician up above for great overall healing. I am still scared and would love continued prayers. There is still so much I have to process, still that it's very overwhelming. I just want to not be going through this, but at least I know that God's love is shining through me like I never thought it could.
