Live and let live…. this is not your gig, it’s mine! Everyone finds a way to deal with cancer differently! My psychologist says a defence mechanism I use is sublimation – I turn my cancer fear into something creative and positive – this is my way of coping with it, but everyone is different and …

Cancer connections…. we connect with each other, no matter what cancer, we understand each other and it feels good! If it is during music therapy, via the social media or in everyday life… During a cancer Blogger Workshop I met three fellow bloggers from Cologne and today, we visit Conny after her hopefully last operation! …

Wow! Last night was a night, which reminded me of my first chemos …

Today I won’t bore you with cancer fatigue…. I am quite bored of it myself 😉 9/11 – I was onboard Caronia (the picture was taken in Spitzbergen, but my digital photos only started in 2002) heading towards New York…. we were to debark all our guests there before starting on a Golden Fall cruise …

Yes, it was a relaxing weekend and yes, I really feel energetic and yes, I am exhausted beyond belief…. is that a contradiction?!?! Not really… that is just my new normal and my low energy level or rather the poor management of it, but it was in the long term highly beneficial and I think …

Our 7am meditation is replaced by a coffee date with Inga – as Sandra wants to do it outside again and we both feel that it is too cold 😉 Yoga means listening to yourself and doing what you feel is good for you and for us it’s coffee and a chat! Inga is one …
