What a day! Well, it started easy with a yoga massage – pure bliss! Dr. Zenev makes sure there is no infection in my throat, fungus is gone, blood is ok, but he reckons since I am there, I might as well have another laser session and he is such a fun character and really …

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 …

Chemo nurse Frau Fassbender wasn’t there the last time and I like her straight away! „You are being expected!“ – Katja has reserved a seat for me and I unpack the pretzels I brought along – Katja brought some M&Ms and we are ready to go. It is amazing how many parallels there are – …

It is the day of the B2B run, but my colleagues are running without me, as I have to be early early and sober in Holweide… I am there with another 9 women to be operated. They have appr. 600/ year! Prof. Dr. Warm is really nice and explains that they will first mark the …

I am back in charming Holweide for the CT and get into the CT. I lay there and a computer voice tells me what to do… I shall not move and suddenly tears are running down my cheeks. Maybe it is the first quiet moment after the diagnosis – maybe it is the feeling of …

Holweide – what a welcoming site… NOT! I feel like I accidently ended up at some rehab center judging by the scary figures, who stand outside smoking. Well, inside they are actually really nice. I have to do all the paperwork, then go to the cancer station B5 to have a talk about all that …
