Chemo day…. Number 9 today! By now I know most of the patients and I chat with Sonja, who gets bi-weekly infusions due to an immune deficiency. Her friend has just been diagnosed with breastcancer and she heard about my blog. I hope it will help her! My other ‚follower‘, who has been diagnosed with …

A Captain once said „Alex, you are like a Rottweiler – you do not let go until you get what you want…“ right! I got a Tonies Box…whoohooooo 🎉 It is mainly due to Alexa, who spotted and reserved it in one of Facebook’s fleamarket groups, but I got it, I got it, I got it …

I decide to enjoy the morning’s peace and quietness today! A newspaper with coffee in bed is my most desired thing right now – pure bliss! Even if everything is available online, I love reading ‚real‘ papers, like I did before I had kids! Eventually I go to town and after yet another unsuccessful attempt …

I feel like I partied all night… I wish 😉 I am dizzy and weak and hope my energy returns tomorrow! Yesterday everyone commented on how well I look – easy trick …. cortisone makes rosy cheeks! Today I spend almost all day in bed and sleep a lot, while Markus is out and about …

No more coughing, but I get my revenge for yesterday – I am exhausted! I still manage to decorate the tree with Leo and go to the Kulturkirche Christmas market meeting lots of friends and kids… I am freezing though and shivering when I arrive back home and have to cancel my evening plans – …

Chemo day… juchhey!??!? I pack food, books, earphones and Christmas cookies for the nurses and off I go. My blood is good and chemo #8 is on it’s way! They always order them from a pharmacy across the road and it is only mixed just before I get it. While I wait, I manage to …

When the going gets tough, the tough get going – Tabea and the running Mamas are training despite the cold and the rain, but we sit for ages in the Klee’snack Cafe afterwards hugging the radiator… cold and wet is not ideal, but I took it easy. It is the second day without antibiotics and I …

After a lazy morning, I see psycho oncologist Beate Rahn and funnily enough, I can see her again in January…. She says that the fact that my head is clearer and I can concentrate on reading books, is probably due to the chemo pause – therefore I have to hurry with my next book before …

Cologne is green and rainy again and I am back in my busy life, but at a much slower pace. The coughing is almost gone and my voice is still a bit rough, but coming back 🙂 I see my gynecologist, Dr. Rix, for the first time since seeing her with the lump in my …
