A wonderful walk this morning. Cool air and only us. Whenever I’m on DEX I can walk a little more since Dex masks arthritis. So we did 2 miles.
Of course, now Dex will wear off and I’ll see how my knee is 🙂
I decided to go to the gym since I don’t have any major cooking to do or house stuff. It was pretty mellow with only a few people.
For dinner last night I made up the honey garlic tofu again with jasmine rice and a salad. It was just as delicious. Tonight, I’m going to try the frozen tofu and bread it and make a tofu parmesan. This block I cut horizontally. I have leftover Rao’s sauce and mozzarella to use.
This week I have labs, swim, a gym time and that’s it unless B gets a call from UCD. If he does we will take the appointment as we’d like to get the chemo or whatever it’s going to be going.
So after the team of doctors met to discuss his case, they decided to do more testing on the first biopsied tissue, and the answer was revealed. Unfortunately, it is very rare, Peritoneal Mesothelioma. It knocked us for a loop. He’s never been around asbestos but apparently, there can be other causes? what, I’m not sure. The doctor who was doing this diagnosis has also referred him to Stanford. This is a pretty grim diagnosis and incurable so facing us is what time do we have. It’s hard to get this processed and I’m sure we will be going through a lot of emotions. I tend to freeze up emotionally and/or shut down so I’ll need to work on that. Well, at least we know.
That’s all I’ve got today.
Chris, I am so sorry to hear of your husband’s diagnosis. It’s scary to get this kind of diagnosis, with much uncertainty, and so much unknown. My thoughts are with you and your husband as you journey through this together.

I’m very sorry the news wasn’t better. At least now some treatment can get started. You and your family will be in my thoughts. Take care
I too was saddened to read of this. May things go well enough forward
I also am sorry you have received this news and am have a difficult journey ahead.
Thinking of you both. Just like you have been doing, one day at a time. Your blog is very real and interesting. Thank you for sharing.
I’m so sorry.
It is a sad thing indeed. We are still waiting on Stanford to call. I hope today.
I am so sorry to read about B’s diagnosis. Thinking of you.
Thanks, it is a tough diagnosis. We’re trying to be present with it for now.
