No matter what cancer, no matter what background, I feel the special connection between the cancer patients – it’s the sense of understanding without words. Chemonurse Fassbender says you cannot go along with everyone and at one point, you need to …

Total cancer fatigue disaster yesterday…. I am running on emergency power from 5pm onwards and it gets worse and worse…. normally, not that much of an issue, but we have Simone and her family over and I am presenting my worst self…. tired is ok, but I am moody, thin skinned, impatient and have no …

You don’t have to go far, different regions in Germany are already different, but I love Asia… and Latin America, and South …

My eyes are burning and I wonder how I will ever manage a normal life again…. it’s Sunday, I make pancakes and rest on the garden sofa, read with the kids and give them water colours …. that is all I manage, but it is all I need today! My heart is filled with love …
