Samantha, 26, passed away this morning! I am furious and hate cancer – it is so unfair and until now I was hoping for Sama’s miracle …. breastcancer isn’t easy, isn’t pink – today, it is pitch black!

I’ve got my period! – I thought for a long time, if I shall post this one, but there are two reasons that convinced me.

Berlin – my first business trip!

I am both – over the moon and completely exhausted!! Overwhelmed by everything, my brain cries for help and simply gives up after half a day. Babysteps – and this was a big one towards normality!

How do I tell my friends and family that I have been diagnosed with a life threatening illness?!? Yep, you choke just reading it, so would I…. in today’s podcast we speak about our experiences…

I would have rather been pregnant with child number three, but cancer entered my life instead and that’s the news I shared.

Challenges – isn’t life full of challenges?!? Mine is right now, but I am adding another one, as I love them! The spice of life! Cancer and it’s aftermaths is playing a more and more minor character, but it led me to look after myself more!

What a day – what a child free day and yet, I rush through it in a blast…. yes, I could say that I miss my kids, but there is no time today, as I work, have lymphatic drainage and an interview date in the afternoon!

Happiness describes my here and now – tired happiness to be more precise 😉 Oh, yes, cancer fatigue is my daily visitor!

I could moan about two root canals Christian did today, the long drive to get there, the necessity to have them done yet another time before I start the bisphosphonate therapy in order to minimize the risk of a necrosis of my jaw bone, but you know what?!?

#cancerfreethursday and being sick in bed, makes me scroll through my old pictures….what did I do in the past?!? Travel?!? Traveling broadens your horizon and I am lucky to say that I could actually earn money while traveling! It’s the people we meet, the situations we have to go through the barriers we have to overcome!

I am sitting on a bus in India – travelling all by myself – we have already travelled for a good 12 hours and we have a flat tire. I thought that it was a one way street, as it is awfully narrow, but no… it is not and next to our bus is a steep cliff. I am happy though and proud! I find my way!

The cancer journey is the same – a balancing act, just without the foreign cultures (well, most of the time)….. new experiences, challenges, different territories, acquaintances, memories – and a steep cliff!

Looking back, my traveling was often a running away from things and people! That has changed and I no longer need to run away! It is not true that I had no worries prior to cancer – I had them, just different ones, but at the time they sometimes seemed life changing 😉
