I love this new chemo – apart from my cough there are almost no side effects. I am awake for four hours during the night, but it is quiet and peaceful and I feel fit. I hear the rain, watch a good movie, read a bit and at 5:30am Leo joins me and cuddles and …

If you ever have cancer and want to watch a movie, DO NOT watch „Love Life„…. I watched the first part earlier this week and decide to finish it of last night before going to sleep. BIG MISTAKE!! She has breast cancer, her husband cheats on her, she is fine again and they want to …

Lilli’s mom and my friend Nina got me into the Milky Chance concert, as her man Jojo, is doing the lights and – bless him – he even organized a chair for me next to his desk and water in case I needed a rest ❤ What a great evening with a nice bunch of …

Doctor’s Day!! I see Prof. Dr. Breidenbach for my monthly check-up and the tumor shrank from 6mm to 4mm. That is great, but somehow I expected more, as after the three big chemo, it went from 2cm to 6mm and now I had another big one and two little ones…. well, at least it shrank! …

No voice and I think I am close to loosing it now… the rest I mean 😉 This is the most annoying thing I have ever experienced (apart from four years ago, when I went to Oli’s birthday bash in Mallorca without a voice, but that did not last this long – by far). One …

„OMG, you actually have no voice, just like you wrote in your blog… ;)“ – my school friend Anne-Karen calls me today… Yes, true and yes, I try to just listen, which obviously does NOT work… but I love it. This is it – these special friendships and these special conversations are all worthwhile loosing …

We all have a cold now… it is that time of the year as well, I guess. So, we take it easy and take turns to rest. I look after Leo at lunchtime and Markus is taking the kids to a game park in the afternoon, so I can have a rest. It annoys me …

This block of chemo is a walk in the park 🙂 My fingers are a bit numb, but not too bad. The coughing is more annoying, but I am getting there! I just had a lazy Friday morning with Leo at home until Markus took him to Boulder Planet with some other kids and dads. Sandra …

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 …
