Chemo day, yeeehaaa! Well, blood levels are low, but ok, 37,1 is no fever and just a bit swollen throat is ok – off we go! Chemo nurse Frau Block is wonderful giving me cough drops and a little dish with salt. I did not know that, but if you put that on your tongue, …

Woke up fully dressed between children’s books at 3:00am…. I might have been a bit tired 😉 It is frustrating though, as I cannot really read to them at them moment, but we are finding ways and hopefully I will get my voice back one day…. Despite all, I still went to see Tabea and …

I slept like a baby – sopping wet PJs, but hopefully that did the trick. I love the new chemo drugs, as I am tired, but have no nausea and seem to be emotionally strong… so far and I have appetite! Hopefully this will not be the start of being fat, as they give me …

I am nervous today, but I meet this incredible taxi driver, who lived 25 years in London – what a character and a great story of love, travel and entrepreneurship! Thank you for brightening my day 😀😀 Chemo nurse Fassbender looks concerned, as I have a cold, measures my temperature and tells me that I …

What a wonderful day – having coffee with my running mamas after training, climbing, dancing, singing and playing with my kids, sushi and a presentation about driving a VW T1 from Istanbul to the Northcape! Thank you, Christina for a great evening and thank you, Markus for looking after the kids again! I am happy …

Yipeehhh, I got my mojo back! Did pick up my bike and cycled up all the hills and I am feeling the best since starting chemo! Chemo round number two, I am ready for you now! Today was a day of new beginnings – I started with cleaning up and had a pelvic floor training …
