Almost every illness is related to this one
Why do we hear about so many people suffering from cancer? Why are we helpless against this insidious disease? What has changed so much in recent years that every third person is dying of cancer? Why are we so helpless? For over ten years I’ve been researching this disease, but never before have my personal experiences shown me more clearly that each person can be their own healer. Despite my suffering from cancer, I was able to succeed in something I now want to share with the world.
This book follows my journey from learning about my illness to my healing. I will also tell you about how I returned
to living a healthy and happy life today. After ten years, I have so many things to tell you. I wrote this book for you and dedicate it to the entire world!

How everything began
I actually wanted to ban this topic from my life forever. But it’s impossible to erase the past that made you who you are today. I have realized, that it’s best to accept everything that happened to me, because I’m the one who caused everything in my life and I alone am responsible for everything. I have realized now, that accepting situations is easier than to be angry at them. But the most beautiful realization was that today, with all these experiences, I make myself happy and proud. I will tell you with this book how I reached this state.
Every experience comes with something positive!
This is what it’s about: My experience brought me further in life.
I was 29. Six months happily pregnant with my second child. He was a planned child and I knew he was going to be a boy. My wonderful daughter, who was waiting patiently for her little brother, gave me daily belly rubs and talked to him. For her fifth birthday, she only wanted one thing: A little brother to play with. Every evening she prayed with me for a brother. It didn’t quite happen for her fifth birthday, but she knew her mum would have a boy and she was very happy about it. She always loved to talk about all the things they would do together.
How he would be allowed to play with all her things and how she would always look out for him. It was incredibly beautiful to see these feelings of joy in her, that she would stroke my belly and talk to him. The light in her eyes always gave my happiness a huge boost. One morning, I brought my daughter to the kindergarten which she enjoyed attending, and wanted to go to a check-up appointment at my gynecologist right after. She has known me for many years and I like going to her appointments. Which is not a given for gynecologists. Especially during my pregnancy, I was curious as to what is happening in my belly. She is a wonderful, calm woman with angelic straight and blonde hair. Her blue eyes give me the feeling that I can trust her with everything and her voice is so relaxing. It is always fascinating when a person manages to calm their surroundings just with their voice. Since I’m always on the go, I really appreciate a calming aura around other people.
While she was examining me and explaining what was happening in my belly, I told her I’m feeling well. She was happy about it and responded she doesn’t hear that often. This confirmed that my pregnancy was something very special. We talked and looked at the baby’s development in the ultrasound.
Her observations and findings were satisfactory. In passing, I mentioned a bump I had in my right upper arm. I had been noticing it in the shower. It felt hard but didn’t hurt and wasn’t noticeable in any other way, it was simply a bump on the inside of the arm and that was it. However, it had been in the back of my mind and I wanted clarity. After we had finished with the baby check-up, she carefully examined it.
She calmed me down and explained that lymph nodes often form deposits during pregnancy. But for a medical clarification I should see my doctor. She said exactly the words I wanted to hear in order to keep enjoying my pregnancy. I loved this pregnancy, my skin was silky smooth and it radiated beautifully. My eyes had this sparkle. I felt utterly at home in my own body, which isn’t necessarily natural for every becoming mother. But for me, this baby released wonderful endorphins. I felt beautiful, strong and most importantly: healthy. The weeks went by comfortably, life felt fantastic and I started to prepare myself for my son.
I made all the usual purchases and set up the most important things for him. No matter what I was doing, I always did it with utter joy and serenity. Only when I was in the shower and felt this bobble - which is how I called this lump in my upper arm – I asked myself when I would finally go to the dermatologist.
And so the time passed until my son’s birth. In mid-November he came into this world. I was thankful that we were both well. Everything was in the safe zone and the next few months went by wonderfully.
A change is coming up
Towards the end of the summer I started getting a weird skin rash all over my body. It was itching day and night. These tiny blisters forced me to scratch my skin, sometimes until it started bleeding.
I tried various home remedies like lotions, curd, yogurt, damp cloths. Nothing helped for more than an hour. This constant itching under my skin.
It was unbearable. The extreme heat of summer only added to it. I woke up multiple times every night and scratched myself like a crazy person. First I thought it was due to something I had eaten. After a few days of itching, I finally got myself to go to the dermatologist. I drove to the scheduled appointment with my son in his Maxi-Kosi. Luckily, the little one was quite calm so I could take him with me anywhere. With a soother and his stuffed animal in his arm, he was completely at ease. After a short wait, the doctor came and asked what he could do for me.
I explained to him what was happening with my skin and he examined my rash. After a long conversation with me, hediagnosed stress as the likely cause of my problem. He prescribed a lotion for my body as well as an unscented bath wash and calmed me down. He told me my skin would feel better in a few days. In passing, I told him about the small bump in my arm and explained to him that I’ve had it for a while.
Fortunately, I remembered to do that, otherwise I would have been angry at myself. I was so preoccupied with my rash. He examined the bump and looked at me. His fingers circled it and he looked away for a second, as if he was looking for something. With light pressure, he moved the bump around, which felt pretty uncomfortable. His eyes were searching for mine, which made me feel slightly uneased so I looked at my son who was peacefully asleep in his Maxi-Kosi.
My dermatologist is elderly and his brown eyes hidden behind glasses in combination with his white hair made him seem highly intelligent. I have always felt comfortable around him. Due to my sensitive sculpt, I have regular appointments with him for different shampoo options. His silence scared me.
I have to have surgery
With my eyes peeled on the bump, I asked: “What is it?” He quietly replied “Hm, I’m not sure, but judging by its size, texture and movability, it has to be removed.” My breathing sounded annoyed. I don’t want to be cut open, I have already had so many procedures that left scars because I had to get a few moles removed. Now another beauty defect. And then on my upper arm, which everyone will be able to see in the summer. Oh well, at least it’s on the inner part of my arm.
He referred me to a surgeon, whose competence he trusted. I should schedule an appointment and have the lump removed. Once I was at home, I thought the whole situation through, but didn’t think anything more of it. For me, my annoying rash was the bigger problem. I used the lotion that same evening. Thankfully, it helped right away. After a few days, I was able to relax again. What a relief!
A few weeks later, I had an appointment with the general surgery and took the little one with me. This time, he was able to walk, which made the situation a little more complicated. He didn’t want to hold my hand; he’d rather touch everything else. Fortunately, everything went by relatively fast.
A very tall man entered the examination room. He greeted me and with his big, grey curls, left a slightly distracted impression on me. I found it entertaining to observe his locks bouncing up and down as he was making his way from the sink towards me. “How can I help you?” he asked briskly. I was wearing a strappy top, so I didn’t have to remove any clothes and I told him to check the bump. He examined it and asked for how long I had had it and if it hurt at all. My answers came pretty fast, as I had the feeling he was in a rush. “It could just be a deposit of the lymph nodes, but because of its size of one to two centimeters and its hard texture, it has to be removed”, he explained. He added that it would only be a small procedure. I would be able to go home right after. So just a tiny scar, I thought to myself and was content. I took my little one by the hand, who had been silently observing the doctor during our entire interaction, went to the reception desk and made an appointment for next month. No earlier dates were available. Nevertheless, the month went by relatively fast and I felt good since the rash on my body had healed. That made me strong for the next step. Meanwhile, autumn had arrived. I love autumn, the colors of nature are the most beautiful of the entire year. The day of my procedure I was relaxed and just wanted it to be over as soon as possible. The children were taken care of.
