After chemotherapy I tried to recover. It took quite a while. And I found out that top restaurants do not cater to vegans even on Valentine’s Day....

Going back for another round of chemo was tough. But I learned much more about real friends than ever before.

When the chemo therapy substances hit my body I was knocked out. Difficult days.

It was time to find another oncologist. And then, I did chemo therapy.

I was ready to have my first chemo-therapy when the oncologist basically gave me the option between green and brown. How should I know? Listen to the experience of my first chemo.

Three months before being diagnosed with cancer I founded HELLO STAGE, the classical music community. What do you do as a founder and entrepreneur when being hit by a severe illness? Luckily I had an amazing friend and a great team.

After my cancer surgery I spent relaxing days with my wonderful family. Also, an example of how another family helped a cancer victim within themselves.

Cancer became personal to me a few month before my diagnosis. I spoke at a TEDx conference and there was Susi speaking about her cancer story. She became a hero for me. And still is. Look up www.fick-dich.at

A surgery called semi-castration does not necessarily raise a man’s confidence level. But it had to be done.

The weekend following my cancer diagnosis in December 2013 was the time to speak to family and friends. The hardest was taking to my daughter.
