Frau Schöps is very old and walks slowly with her Zimmer frame into the radiation center. I am ten minutes early today and we chat about cancer and radiation, being tired and living in the same neighbourhood… she had a mastectomy 30 years ago and there are new tumors around her scar and they spread… …

You did it again…. you are an asshole, you stupid cancer, and you don’t play fair! I hate you! You grew during my bosom buddy Paula’s first chemo and now during the second chemo as well?!? Not funny …. but you picked the wrong girl – she is badass! Thinking of you ❤️ I started …

I used to look forward to weekends, but now I am somehow dreading them… I love spending time with my kids, but I still don’t really have the energy for a full day of kids chaos! Maybe it is only the fear that I won’t manage and fail at being a good Mum…. am I …

Radiation 2/28 – I am early, everything clicks like clockwork today…. ready, taxi, traffic lights all green, in, radiation, out. If I had not been early, I would have spent no more than fifteen minutes in the building… wow! Off I go to Frau Kakizaki, the non-medical practitioner …. pity I only notices two days …

Radiation 1/28 – I do my last physio in the morning and am a bit nervous. My heart is ok and my body strong enough, which is something I am grateful for, but I do not know my way around the radiation business yet. Surely I will have the hang of it in no time …

Today I pay the price for yesterday … I am exhausted, but have a strange experience brushing my hair for the first time since September…. hmmmm…. it hurts a bit and to be honest, I don’t really notice a difference. I will not do that again and see for how long I can get away …

Today is a good day! It is sunny and I am in a good mood despite being tired! Prof. Dr. Breidenbach praises my boob work & cabbage efforts! If it was primary school, I would get a star, as she did not expect the result to be this good – I shall continue and radiation …

I am exhausted and try to chillax with the kids most of the day …. It is a contradition in itself, I know, but they actually can chill…. sometimes…. and I only need to leave in the afternoon for Düsseldorf, where the Blogger4Charity event takes place. A virtual meets reality event for me – I …

Tummy cramps and aches is something I have been living with for years along with frequent changes of bowel movements, but nowadays I worry about it! I check, if I notice any of the bowel cancer symptoms…. and I do, but there is no weightloss 😉 Thank goodness for the colonoscopy scheduled for the 18th …
