Hey there.
I write about the parts of (breast) cancer that don’t always fit into hospital appointments, Instagram captions or polite conversations: fear, treatment decisions, body trust, survivorship and the strange emotional aftermath of it all.
My Why.
Hey, I'm Resi, originally from Germany and now living in Melbourne. I moved here from Berlin with my partner, ready for a new chapter. Not even a month after we arrived, I was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer at 36, and the life I thought I was building disappeared almost overnight. Since then, I’ve been through chemo, immunotherapy, surgery and more appointments than I can count. I’m now a few months out of active treatment and in remission, which is beautiful, surreal and honestly still hard to fully land. Because even when things look good on paper, your body and nervous system don’t just go back to normal. I started writing because I needed somewhere to put it all: the fear, the treatment decisions, the anger, the research spirals, the body stuff, and the emotional mess that doesn’t magically disappear when active treatment ends. At first, this blog was just a way to process. But then people started reaching out to tell me how much my content resonated with them. Strangers, old friends, former colleagues. Some were diagnosed themselves. Others were scared, overwhelmed, or simply trying to find something that felt human in all the noise. That changed something for me. Because I know how much I needed something human in the middle of it all. Not a perfect survivor story. Not just medical facts. But honesty. Context. The inner world. Someone saying: I see you. I know this is terrifying. None of this is fair. So this is my attempt to write the kind of blog I wish I had found. Not as an expert. Just as someone living in the aftermath, hoping it helps someone else feel a little less alone.
