Woman Faces Devastating Cancer Diagnosis and Embraces Lasting Memories in Emotional Documentary

During a telephone conversation with her doctor, her cheerfulness immediately turns into sadness. She’s clearly trying to hold back tears as the doctor tells her the bad news. “The MRI of your head was not good,” says the voice on the other end of the line. Despite new medication, the cancer continues to grow. The doctors see only one option: start the dreaded chemotherapy.

The doctors expect that things will only go downhill. “What I’m dreading most is that I won’t have any hair in two weeks,” Eva tells Tim Hofman. That’s why she has already made an appointment at the hair shop. “So I have a choice. Am I going bald today, with a hat or with hair?”

She continues: “They expect that if the chemo works, I will still have another year.” “In the best scenario, that is still a relatively long time. I don’t have much confidence in chemo,” she continues emotionally. “After that it goes very quickly,” says her husband Matthijs. “Then we’re talking months.” “I’ll make it to Christmas,” Eva adds. Fortunately, she can still laugh about her ‘bald head’, which she generated with a Snapchat filter.

The three of them walk through the woods in search of her ‘memory place’. How she wants people to remember her? “Smiley face, cheerful. Also a bit stubborn,” Eva answers. Tim asks Matthijs the same question. “Like a very nice, cheerful girl who has a lot of positive energy. Who can light up a room with her smile.”
