Bye Bye, Breastcancer!
Out now – our second podcast episode!!
Who do want to reach with our podcast though?!?
Everyone – old, young, sick, healthy, vegan, gay, blond, blind, bald, brave, shy, stamp collectors, CEOs and hippies…. cancer is everyone’s business and so far, it seems that we are leaving footmarks in all different walks of life!
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?!?
I am in awe to see all the enthusiasm and excitement in the cancer community leading up the the launch of our first podcast episode on Tuesday. Wow! Thank you!!
People are sharing and they are talking about it and that is exactly what we need and that is our aim – let’s talk about cancer!
#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 😉
Whooohooooo!!! Our podcast trailer is online!!

I am over the moon! What started as a little idea, is now live and we want to shout it out – we are raising awareness and we are talking about cancer trying to lift the taboo!Do you need shower gel or shampoo for your bald head, why does my fingerprint scanner no longer work after chemo and where do I draw those eyebrows?!? We casually chat about different subjects relating to cancer without trivializing it, as it is vicious! Closing your eyes does not protect you though…. grab a cup a tea and join us!
The first episode will go live May 14! And remember – sharing is caring!! Go ahead and share share share!
In the past, a cold was just a cold…. nowadays, I risk to have pneumonia within days. Apparently my immune system is still not up to speed and needs antibiotic help!
Did I mention that I never took any medication in the past?! Well, the only constant is change and I am getting used to seeing the doctors more regularly – again!
Ironically, I don’t look sick – similar to having cancer…. looks can perceive. In fact, you cannot even see my swollen nose…. and therefore I am meeting the girls tonight!
Mi mi mi…. Sick at home and you know what?! I fall as I say goodbye to my kids, try to push Mia away not to hurt her, fall full speed on my dodgy finger, bruise my knee and hit my nose on Leo’s helmet…. It hurts, I think I will get a very bruised nose and am glad I do not wear glasses!
Resting today is good for my voice, but will see what tomorrow will bring!
My lungs are sore, I think about metastasis, but then I realize that I always have that issue since my pneumonia…. oh well! I guess it won’t hurt to make an appointment with my oncologist since the start of my bisphosphonate therapy has been delayed until my teeth are ok and that will yet be another few weeks.
What a luxury to only have first world problems and I don’t let them spoil my happiness, as I am overall jolly, healthy and cancer free…. and I am well aware of how lucky I am, as cancer strikes our little community like a hurricane. Brutal and at full speed! Yes, there are a lot of success stories, inspiring and uplifting, but that does not make the bad news any better! Moaning does not either though…. and therefore we have to – despite the terrible losses – believe in miracles!
