First, a brief look back at last week:
On Monday, my wife underwent a laparoscopy to check whether, in addition to the tumor in the stomach and metastases in the lymph nodes, there were also metastases in the peritoneum. To determine this, they performed both a visual examination and a gastric lavage. We will receive the results of the lavage this coming Wednesday, but the visual examination was favorable. So, we are looking forward to Wednesday full of anticipation and hope!
In order to provide some distraction for the family we went on a mini brake and rented a small house in nature. While the recovery from the surgery was harder than we anticipated it was good to be away from house for a few days.
We just got back this afternoon, after unpacking the luggage and diner I was able to do a short run.
I decided to do only a few kilometers and on a relatively decent pace so I will be for for Tuesday. As I feel just sitting at home the day before we receive the test results is not something I can feel confortable with. I decided to set up a mental fight for myself for Tuesday just to keep busy, which should be atleast 1 marathon in distance but I am eyeing a bit longer -
as a symbolic comparison to be prepared to fight for a long time,
