Faced with the diagnosis of breast cancer in 2019 I felt totally powerless and at the mercy of fate. Yet, it´s not true that, apart from undergoing heavy medical treatment, we can do nothing for our health. All studies agree that against cancer and debilitation such as fatigue syndrome due to therapy, sport has a winning power. 
Yes ... easy to say, much more difficult to do, when chemotherapy takes away the strength and even the tasks of daily life overwhelm us. Then I met Petra at an information day in the hospital and I was surrounded by a wave of sharing, sincere optimism and motivation. Today I train regularly with her and with fantastic people, who like Petra and me are fighting cancer with sport, the only powerful means without unwanted side effects. Thank you OAC!
