Doro sent me Aloe Vera goodies from Fuerteventura – I love the gloves and socks, which make really soft hands and feet and I do use the gel, but sorry…. I cannot make myself drink that stuff on an empty stomach yet…. maybe it is the bottle, which looks like shower gel, but I will …

Chemo day… juchhey!??!? I pack food, books, earphones and Christmas cookies for the nurses and off I go. My blood is good and chemo #8 is on it’s way! They always order them from a pharmacy across the road and it is only mixed just before I get it. While I wait, I manage to …

When the going gets tough, the tough get going – Tabea and the running Mamas are training despite the cold and the rain, but we sit for ages in the Klee’snack Cafe afterwards hugging the radiator… cold and wet is not ideal, but I took it easy. It is the second day without antibiotics and I …

After a lazy morning, I see psycho oncologist Beate Rahn and funnily enough, I can see her again in January…. She says that the fact that my head is clearer and I can concentrate on reading books, is probably due to the chemo pause – therefore I have to hurry with my next book before …

Snow… snow… snow… for about one hour and all was green again…. well, that is Cologne for you! I am a bit down today. The kids are adorable and give me so much joy, but everything else is really tiring. I want to bake spritz biscuits and am all motivated when I prepare the dough …

After a sleepless night, I can’t wait to go home – goodbye Klösterchen! I should take it easy, inhale and take the medication. Maja was ill all week, but comes to pick me up and it is great to see her 🙂 Home Sweet Home – I need to go to ‚downtown‘ Riehl to see the …

Hurray, hurra! They found a high level of mycoplasma antibodies in my blood and the CT showed that my lungs improved – I can go home tomorrow 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Markus saved the breakfast dilemma, by dropping off müsli, almond milk and fruit last night after reading my blog – thank you 🤩 Hans already said good …

Thanks for worrying about me – I simply did not blog yesterday, but I am fine. I am still in hospital and there were no news and no results, but the coughing is a little better! Prof. Dr. Breidenbach called me today, as she only found out now that I was to check how I …
