6 long and extremely hard days behind. I got hit by a train. Wait, two trains. I barely remember last 3 days. Nausea, sickness, diarrhea, pain, fear. This chemo was much, much worse. I felt guilty and sad that my two boys Szymek and Tom have to watch how miserable I am. I had an appointment […]
3.11.16 Nothing has changed on haematology ward. Same nurses, same procedures, same gray faces. Funny…Nurse is saying to me: “Nice to see you…” Really? I don’t complain.

Recently I learned how to make an easy and convenient paste to be able to freeze or refrigerate it for ease of use. Before I was making my turmeric/ginger/lemon/honey morning drink everyday […]
Today is 13th of March… exactly a year since my surgery which had ended my first life and started another, different one with a second partner – cancer. It’s been a year and I am still waking up in the middle of the night wondering has it all really happened or was it just a […]
