"Hello I'm Luise, I'm 26 years old and I got the diagnosis of vaginal cancer at the age of 23." So begins one of the videos that Luise has published on Youtube. In this video, Luise explains her philosophy of life: "Life is always worth living."
The own death: Many people do not even try to think about it. It's different with Luise. After the successful treatment of the vaginal cancer comes in 2013 the second diagnosis of methastases in the lungs. Luise had already noticed that something was wrong. On holiday on the Baltic Sea, she is tired, it hardly manages to walk through the sand.
On Facebook, Luise writes: "You are healthy, have fun, party, smoke cigarettes without end, like to get drunk and enjoy the intoxication, have sex with people you hardly know and everything is totally cool. HARHAR ... Then you get cancer and notice: 'Hups, just do not go on forever, time has something like limits.'
After the second diagnosis Luise falls first into a hole. The doctors say immediately that the cancer is not operable. Again and again she wonders why nobody can help her. But eventually Luise accepts her fate, tries to encourage other cancer patients, writes on Facebook about their experiences as a terminally ill . Luise's Facebook page is gone.
Until recently, friends and family were hoping for a cure: Luise died on June 5, 2015. Many people have missed her ever since. Because Luise could, despite or just because of something that many other people can not. She enjoyed life.
"Maybe you should NOW start living your life the way you want it to, just as you should have done before, not to say, 'oh well, I'll do that next year, this year I have too little Time 'No, because there's no time to actually have time when we're honest with ourselves. " Luise
