The Love Notes
Love notes are thoughts, sentences or short anecdotes that have helped you in the past and that you would like to share. The message is: we are not alone!
You can do this either anonymously or using your name. If you want, you can also add other details such as your age and / or your cancer diagnosis so that those affected can feel some kind of connection with you.
Tell us what moves you and send us your
Love Note.
“And even though I felt disfigured and uncomfortable due to the chemotherapy, I was able to learn one thing: beauty is transient and the exterior is only a packaging that changes with time. But what doesn’t change is the content and the person you are with all your facets.”

“Sometimes life presents us with challenges that we don’t see coming and as hard as cancer fate is, we can’t let it get us down because it’s up to us what we make of it.”

"When I asked my mother why I fell ill and not one of my older siblings, she said: “Life is a balance between happiness and suffering, and suffering happens to people who are strong enough to endure it, and that’s you.”

Wenn ich nach 10 Jahren zurück auf die Zeit der Krebserkrankung blicke, dann denke ich auch an die Lichtmomente. An das Gefühl, den Regen auf dem Kopf zu spüren, das Privileg abends Eis im Bett essen zu dürfen, die Nähe zu meinen Eltern und vor allem an meine eigene Stärke, von der ich nie geglaubt hätte, sie aufbringen zu können.

I've stopped making bad and fast decisions for temporary hapiness. Even though cancer opened up a lot of doors filled with fear and anxiety - it feels like it closed a lot of bad ones from the past and made me realize just how much human bodies are capable of. The „bigger picture" of human perspective is actually never ending - just like the Universe.

I once read the saying:
"Cancer is just a chapter in my life, not the whole story."
It hit me right in the heart. Yes, I am a cancer patient, but I am so much more than that. All of my experiences, both good and bad, have shaped me into who I am today. And cancer is just as much a part of me as my happy childhood or my love for my wonderful husband. That’s why cancer is only one chapter in my story—a story that I hope is far from finished.

I'm a 25 year old ovarian cancer survivor. Meeting my boyfriend in the hospital helped me realize how much peer to peer support can help and how important it is to speak up. There will always be somebody who cares.
I lost my mother a year after I finished my treatment and it's been hard to get back up again and it might've been even harder than recovering from chemo; but my journey taught me what I want, how I want it, and that good things that are permanent take a lot of time, patience and dedication.

A true blessing of life is in the fact that we are all so different and similar to each other at the same time, in every way possible. There will never be anyone born with your traits, ever, but then also, everybody in this world poops.
