Downer for Linda Hakeboom: ‘Another six months of chemotherapy’

“I’m having a bit of a weird day,” Linda begins to tell on her Instagram Stories. “I’m going back to the hospital in a minute, after not actually being there for a very long time. I was kind of ‘free’ from cancer for four weeks. And that felt very good.”

Unfortunately Linda has less positive news to report after that, which feels like a ‘downer’ for her. “Because I’m going back to chemotherapy,” she says. “For six months. So that’s a pretty intense prospect for when you feel good again. I’m not looking forward to it. I’ll just be honest. But on the other hand: it has to happen. We I’m just going to do it and I’ll see how I’m going to feel.”

In a further explanation, Linda explains that the cancer has not returned. “I’m getting this chemo because there’s always a chance that there’s a malignant cell left in my body somewhere,” she explains. Linda also gets a slightly lighter chemo. ‘They also call it ‘chemo light’, it is not done with an IV, but with pills that you can take yourself at home.’

Since being diagnosed with breast cancer, Linda has been sharing her stories in an online video series. She shares the good, but also the sad moments with her followers. In the video below, Linda talks about the fact that her life is no longer carefree.
