Since we had such a nice time with Christina, Daniel and the kids yesterday, we all go to the open air pool Lentpark to start the day…. well, I am not allowed to go swimming, but I just watch the kids from the shade with Christina, who is nursing wee baby Mattis. I do love …

London 1998 – …

Fatigue…. cancer fatigue, kids fatigue, whatever fatigue…. I am soooo tired! I had this picture taken by Annegret Balsereit about half way through chemo, just before loosing my last eyebrows and lashes and I don’t think that I was this tired then…. but then again, it is all a bit blurry 😉 My eyebrows and …

Being in Meschede brings back many memories – childhood memories, youth memories…. coming home late from a lovely evening with Frauke and watching TV with my brother in the middle of the night, is something I have not done forever…. normal, nice and peaceful! I manage to visit my school friend Anne-Karen and her family …

„Why do you have cancer, Mummy?“ It is the curiosity and honesty of children, which is the purest – this is what makes it the hardest and the easiest at the same time… children ask me directly why I am bald and I can talk about it. I will always prefer that to any talking …
