March 2019We’ll Meet in Venice
My Tumour and I, Me and My Tumour, in Intensive Care for 33 Days, Some before and Way Too Few after
by Georges Hausemer, Susanne Jaspers
Following his latest diagnosis with cancer, the writer Georges Hausemer decided in April 2016 to report on his affection in a blog. Published under the title My Tumour and I, which he changed a few months later into Me and My Tumour, feeling the tumour had no right to come first, he described his life with the disease up until a few weeks before his death in August 2018.Since Georges Hausemer could no longer tell his story to its end, his wife, the author Susanne Jaspers, played her part in documenting the period following the last blog entry. A time marked by fear and hope, despair and confidence, by intensive care and internal medicine. What remains is infinite grief over the loss – and the hope for a reunion – perhaps, one day in Venice.
