Today was again a mixed day but we ended the day in a good place. I pushed a bit of ‘tough love’ regarding getting Cathy to eat when she just does not feel like it. A friend brought over some beef stroganoff that hit the spot. Cathy did well with it as it tasted good to her (and me). Cathy just does not have much energy.
Tomorrow, we go, in the evening, for an upper body CT scan. This is important for us to determine potential cancer spread and to determine next steps. We have an appointment with the oncology doctor early on Wednesday to understand the results of the CT scan and to plan a way forward.
We never know how God works and why things happen. We had an amazing email from a Portand friend of Cathy’s today. Let me quote: “Upon receiving the news of Cathy's cancer diagnosis, I called my ob-gyn as Cathy and I had talked about similar post-menopausal symptoms...the result is that I do indeed have cancer of the lining of the uterus. I'm awaiting a call for when my surgery is to be scheduled etc. If I hadn't heard about Cathy's condition, I wouldn't have called my Dr, and well, you know the rest!” We find this amazing.
Thank you all for your continued prayers and support. It means a lot to both of us.

Dan & Cathy,
Hope today will be less painful for Cathy.
It sounds as though Cathy is receiving the best medical care. Tomorrow will be a difficult day, but I know you will get through it together. I've got everything crossed for you both and will be praying harder tonight.
Thanks Dan for having the patience and courage keeping us up-to-date daily.
Thinking of you both,

Dan and Cathy,
You have our thoughts and prayers. If there is anything we can do to help, please let us know. We can't cook as well as Dan, but we can shop.

Thinking of and praying for you both every day.
