The C-Word.


"Bad things happen, all the time, sure. But they won't happen to me."

You know that feeling, right? I used to think like that, of course I did. Then my best friend found out that she had cancer, for the second time. And then she died. And I stopped thinking that bad things can't happen to me. When I lost her, I also lost that naive yet comforting feeling of being safe, sheltered, protected. It happened to Fanny, and it could happen to me.

Now it has.

On Monday morning, at 9:55, my phone rang. The call lasted for less than a minute. A nurse told me that they had gotten the test results back from the surgery I had two weeks ago, and asked me to come in right away. And not to come alone.

I knew. Obviously I knew. There was no other explanation.

Ronnie and I met up with my mom and step-dad at the hospital at two in the afternoon. Went up to the sixth floor. Were called into a tiny examination room.

"Well", said the doctor, "unfortunately we found cancer".

This was less than 50 hours ago. We still know very little about what's going to happen. All I do know is that I have cervical cancer and that I have a severely difficult time ahead of me. And that I'm scared out of my mind.

I'm not yet sure what I'm going to do with the blog. I have no idea how much I'll want to share about what's to come. But I knew straight away that I want you guys to be aware of what's going on. Partly because you have been a wonderful support to me so far, and I wouldn't want to deprive myself of that support in the future. I really think that would be stupid, since I now need it more than ever.

I'll be doing my best to stay strong, even though right now I have no idea how. I have to do everything I can to get through this. Because no matter how much I love and miss my best friend who's my angel in heaven, I'm hoping not to be reunited with her just yet. Maybe in sixty years or so.

Hopefully everything will work out great and I will be healthy and happy in no time. That's what I'll be praying for. I'd truly love it if you'd do the same.







PS. I'm sorry, but I probably won't be able to return comments or e-mail any time soon. There's simply too much going on. But of course I read every word and appreciate any kind of support endlessly. DS.

  1. Det är alltid så svårt att veta vad man ska säga, men jag tror på dig. Och jag håller alla tummar och tår för att allt ska gå bra. Och det kommer nog bli tufft, men det vet du ju redan. Men vi finns här på andra sidan bredbandet om du behöver oss. Tacksamma för alla historier du vill dela med dig av & för att du är den du är.

  4. I'm so sorry to read this. I know you must be feeling so awful and upset right now, but try to keep as positive as you can because apparently it can help you to recover. Surround yourself with friends and family. I really hope you'll be okay. I'll be praying for you =)

  5. jag har aldrig kommenterat här innan, och överhuvudtaget kommenterar jag bloggar väldigt sällan, även om jag ofta läser. Kanske är det så att det sällan känns relevant för mig att ta del av den diskussionen. Men ibland, som nu, så blir jag djupt engagerad och måste lämna en hälsning. Jag är så fruktansvärt ledsen för din skull Annika. Jag kan överhuvudtaget inte föreställa mig den känslan - skräcken, sorgen, ilskan och paniken du måste genomgå, men jag önskar av hela mitt hjärta att allt kommer att gå bra och att du kommer komma igenom det här som en starkare, lyckligare människa. Ta hand om dig!

  6. Åh, jag gråter. Livet är så himla orättvist. Men jag antar att det är en rättvisa i det, att (som du säger) det kan hända vem som helst och ingen går säker. Men om ingen går säker går vi alla tillsammans på ett sätt och det finns en trygghet i det tycker jag.
    Du är så himla stark (vad du nu än tror själv..)

  7. Ånej ånej ånej! Jag grät när jag läste ditt inlägg, hur orättvist får livet vara?

    Jag vet inte vad jag skall säga, mer än att jag tänker på dig och hoppas av hela mitt hjärta att du tillfrisknar helt och snart.

    Du är så himla stark som berättar om det här, efter allt du varit igenom.

  11. jag vet inte vad jag ska säga. jag vill bara gråta. jag förstår om du känner att du inte orkar, att du inte vet hur det ska gå till. jag tänker på dig så ofta redan och nu kommer jag tänka ännu mer. skicka styrka och böner och allt som möjligen kan finnas att skicka. käre gode gud. jag hoppas att allt blir bra.

  12. Jag fick så himla ont i magen när jag läste det här. Cancer skrämmer mig något fruktansvärt. Jag vet inte direkt om det här är något stöd för dig att läsa, men jag kände att jag var tvungen att säga någonting. Jag hoppas verkligen, verkligen, att du blir frisk. Du verkar vara en sån underbar människa, och du besitter en sån stor talang. Världen skulle sakna dig om du försvann Annika.

  13. Usch vad jobbigt för dig vännen. Jag känner med dig och med din familj. Jag förstår din känsla i att du inte vet hur mycket du vill dela med dig, och jag respekterar detta. Du ska tänka på dig själv. Gör det du mår bra av. Allt kommer ordna sig! Kram Malin

  14. My dear Annika, when I read this post, it broke my heart. Tears welled up in my eyes, I have to admit. It’s painful to hear from people who I care that they are going through difficult times or receiving heart sinking news. I know you will stay strong and steadfast throughout this. I am so thankful that you have family and loved ones near to be with you every step of the way. I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers continuously. Even though we’ve never met (I hope we will), nor be with you in person to encourage you during this difficult and vulnerable time, you’ve made a special mark on my heart that has always touched me. Just knowing your kindness and beauty, that inner strength you have, you will make it through this! You will be healthy and back to normal in no time. Nothing is stronger than you and the happiness you share. I believe in you, and so do all the rest of us who admire you and are truly inspired by you.

    much love, Jamie

  22. Actually, I really don't know what to write, because every word seems inappropiate and I'm totally out of words. I can't even imagine how you're feeling right now and probably I don't want to. I wish you the strength to get trough all of this. I wish you all the best and more.

  27. Men herregud Annika, hur mycket otur får en människa ha? Jag lider med dig och hoppas med allt jag har att det här kommer ordna sig till det bästa. Du verkar vara en otroligt stark människa (har följt dig i säkert sex år) och jag är övertygad om att du kommer övervinna det där jäkla C-et. STORA KRAMAR och KÄRLEK bortom datorskärmar

  28. I have no words to explain how I'm feeling right now...
    I have read this text four times because I though that it's not true, that I didn't understand right in English...
    Now I'm crying... You are right: bad things can happen to ALL OF US.
    You are wonderful and strong person! Don't forget that you have US and your family! Please, BE STRONG!
    I will pray for you!!!!!!!!!

  31. Oh my god, Annika. I am so, so sorry to hear about this. You seem like such a strong woman and I'm sure you have a great support group around you. Reading up on it, it sounds like you have a good chance at battling this.

    Stay strong, Annika. I just know you can fight this. I can live without tons of fashion updates and whatnot, but I'd like to see that you're okay or how you're doing! Don't make the blog a priority though; you are the priority.

    You'll be in my thoughts. ♥

  33. My dear Annika. I don't know what to say all I know is I can't stop crying. Please don't die. I'm going to pray for you even though I don't really believe in God. I'll ask God to please not let you die yet. I know this is just another test for you. I know you can make it with His help and the support of everyone who loves you. You're going to make it through this and come back stronger than ever! I love you forever Annika. :'(

  34. oh my. this is dreadful. of course I will think about you every day and include you in my, well, not exactly prayers, but my thought. you will get through this, there is no other option. I wish you the most of luck and strength this world has to offer, you are way too wonderful to be stopped from blogging, from loving, from living. there must be a point with all of this, maybe the future will show which. all lycka i världen, det klarer du. kramar.

  35. I don't know what to say... I hope that everything will be as good as it can be - fortunately, we live in developed countries where large part of affected people come out of this disease. I don't usually pray, but I'll pray for you. Eva

  36. Åh, fina fina Annika. Sådant ska ju inte hända. Inte för någon. Jag tänker på dig jättemycket och jag hoppas, hoppas att allt blir bra. Att du kommer få ett fantastiskt liv och att jag ska kunna berätta om min framtid för dig precis som vi sa. Jag hoppas, hoppas, hoppas att set blir så. Att det blir bra.

  37. I don't know what to say - I'm so sorry, I trully hope and pray you'll be ok. I know it's hard to take in and believe right now but people get through this all the time, you need to stay strong and hold on to that.
    As a person who's worked a bit with cancer patients I would suggest you tell your doctor about Fanny and the experience you have with cancer if you haven't already, that is going to affect the way you see things and they can better help you with your fear if they know what you've been through.
    Weather you keep writing or not I know there will be a lot of people praying for your

  38. Kjære Annika. Jeg har aldri før kommentert på bloggen din, men har lest den i ganske mange måneder nå og føler at jeg kjenner deg. Jeg ble utrolig trist av å lese at du har fått kreft - det høres jo helt uvirkelig ut. Det er utrolig sterkt av deg å fortelle det her på bloggen når du nesten nettopp har fått vite det selv.
    Jeg sender deg mange varme tanker! Det kommer til å gå bra.
    Klemmer fra Karina.

  39. no, no, no! ...

    okay. I can't really put my thoughts into words right now, because just a second ago I was still living in a world, in that it can never happen any wrong to my loved ones. I just want you to know, that from now on I'll think of you every day (I'm doing this for some time now, because of the "D-word"...)and will continue to pray for your recovery.
    it's just.... shocking. you know, this whole "why do bad things happen to good people" thing.

    I hope that you've found tha f***in' bastard in time!!! Oh my god I can't even imagine this.

    We love you and after you decided how much you wanna share - or even... if you can just write about other things, just to get your mind off of this mess - I think you should definitely keep this blog going, because we ARE going to be a big support.

    Love, hugs and kisses,

  40. Vill bara skicka oändligt stöd och många varma tankar. Jag är en sådan där supertrist bloggläsare som aldrig (och då menar jag verkligen aldrig) kommenterar, men när jag sitter här och blinkar bort mina tårar så fick jag visst samtidigt en spark i baken.

    Hoppas, hoppas, hoppas allt blir bra snart igen.

  43. As soon as I saw the title of your post I knew this was the case. And it scared the hell out of me. I've just lost a friend because of cancer and I just can't stand watching one of my beloved ones fighting with this disease again. But you know what? You're an amazing girl and one of the strongest persons I've ever known. You will get trough this, I know. Just don't loose you're faith and everything's going to be alright. Until then I'll pray for you so hard I've never done before. Thousand kisses from Hungary. I'm sending you all of my healing powers. Can you feel it?

  54. First of all, I'm truly sorry for what's happening to you. I'm far from understanding what you're feeling about right now, but I want to give you all my support. I've been reading your blog every day since some months ago, and I've found a genuine and wonderful person that shared all her passions and thoughts without being scared of showing herself as it is. Sometimes the worst things happen to the best people. But this doesn't mean you have to stop believing that one day everything will come back to normality. You have to believe, you have to be strong. And I know you are. All of us, that follow you, will be here for you and will give you the support you deserve for being that magical person we've had the chance to know through your blog. Live your life knowing that everyday is a gift, as it is for all of us. You're an inspirational person to me, and I thank you for everything.
    My best wishes for you.

  55. I'm so so sorry to hear this, Annika. I remember your comment on Bloggkommentatorerna about your ucoming surgery, and I really truly honestly thought you'd get a different result than this. There is just no sense in so many bad things happening to one person. I wish I could "of course you'll be fine!" but you and I both know that nobody can guarantee that. All I can say is that I hope and pray this will all end well for you. You so deserve a happy, healthy life.

    you writingt about everything in this blog always inspired me and made me stronger and also showed me such a beautiful,sweet,caring and strong person.i always wondered how u do this and i'm pretty sure there is some magic behind you.so dont give up superherolady <3 u can do it!

  58. Oh, Annika. I don't really know what to say, and I think this is such an impossible thing to express, the sorrow and the pain and the confusion of it. But you are in my thoughts.
    I understand if you don't choose to blog, but I feel that there is an amazing support system you could find, and a light you could shed on cancer. So whether you choose to write publicly or not, it is my gut instinct that you should write, whilst this happens.

  63. I can't even begin to grasp the feelings that must be going through your mind right now. I just wanted to say this: Cancer care in Sweden is really, really good. If something can be done about your cancer, they will do that something. Most people do make it through cancer.

    Fingers crossed, alla tummar hållna, and I do hope that you will soon be free of cancer again.

  67. Hej fina du!

    Jag följde din blogg på Aftonbladet under en lång tid. Tyckte (och tycker!) att du skrev så bra, hade fina bilder och blev en inspirationskälla. Pga en hektisk period hann jag inte med att läsa lika ofta längre och till slut blev det nästan ingenting. Och nu när jag kollade in på dina "nya" blogg möts jag av detta inlägg.

    Jag vet egentligen inte vad jag ska säga, vill mest berätta hur ledsen jag är för din skull. Jag önskar dig alla lycka och du kommer vara i mina tankar dagligen! Krya på dig!

  78. Life's not always fair, but I'm absolutely sure that you can make it through this just as through everything else. I will be thinking of you, though I know that you don't need the support of a complete stranger. You can make it through this all by yourself. But you don't have to, that's the good thing, the only thing that really matters.
    I'll keep my fingers crossed, wishing you the best I can. x

  80. Ojojoj. Ibland undrar jag hur jorden kan fortsätta snurra. När fina människor blir behandlade såhär illa av livet tycker man ju att något allvarligt borde hända. För att liksom illustrera att något knasat till sig rejält, och sedan inte börja snurra förrän allt ordnat upp sig igen. Jag kommer be för dig, och jag hoppas verkligen att du blir frisk riktigt snart. Så att jorden kan börja snurra igen.

  95. Du är en fantastisk person som alltid skriver på ett sätt som träffar och får mig att känna något, oavsett vad texten handlar om. Och du verkar vara en så himla härlig person, en sån som man så gärna vill ha som vän.
    Jag kommenterar väldigt sällan men jag har hängt med din blogg vääääldigt länge och jag kan bara hoppas och önska att du blir frisk fort och att sjukdomsperioden är skonsam mot dig.

  96. Reading this broke my heart. You are one of the most inspiring girls I found in the big blog world and I am a daily stalker of your amazing blog. I just can't believe it. I don't want to believe it. I am so so sorry...and I wish you only the best, please get well soon and kick that damn cancer out. Because the world would be a much darker place without you and your deep thoughts, your sensational style, your kindness and your great posts about your cats.

    I know you will make it. I wish you the strength to make it. You're awesome. :)

  126. As soon as I read this post, my world stopped for a moment... Oh Annika...beautiful, kind, thoughtful, caring Annkia. My heart is breaking for your right now and no words can possibly come together to describe how I feel. I know I don't know you and have never met you, but it doesn't matter... I feel like I know you so well... like you're a good friend. I'm praying deeply, so, so deeply for everything to be okay with you. I just want you to be okay... <3

  128. Annika, all I can say is that for the past few months, since I've discovered your blog, you've been like a sister to me. You were the one who emailed me and helped me through my depression. You were the one who stopped me from starving myself to death. Your blog gets me through the day and motivates me. Annika, I'm sitting in my room crying my heart out right now for you. But, we must both realize that everything happens for a reason. We all love you to death and I promise you'll be okay. You have a beautiful family and I know they love you and support you through everything, just as we do. Just hold strong and have faith in God. I pray constantly, so I'll be sure to keep you in my prayers. You know, as I said before, I have to meet you one day, and since we live very far, that will take some time to happen. But it will happen! And until then, the two of us HAVE to stay alive, okay?

    I love you soo soo much Annika and I hope for the best!

I really don't know what to say cause I have never been good at cheering up people, I can only tell you that even if I don't know you in real life I sincerely wish you the best & I hope that you'll have a long & great recovery. Please don't stop the blog or if you do, please give us some news from you, just so we'll know how you're feeling because most of us do care about you.

  134. My heart dropped when I read your post. You know when you hear something shocking, and devastating, that you don't expect? And it's like your heart just.. stops. I'm sorry to hear that, Annika.
    My mum had cancer a few years ago. She nearly died from it. One of the things that we never did though, was give up. We never got unhappy about it. We made jokes and we kept positive and we were all terrified and it was a horrible time but we didn't give up and my mum kept fighting and kept smiling and kept laughing and making jokes about herself. She even dressed up for when the nurses came over and made silly little jokes like that.
    Please stay positive. All these comments show how much we all adore you lots and lots and are here if you need it. :) Please keep us updated? I read you every day, your blog has become a second homepage to me, and I'm sure a lot of others too.

    I hope it all turns out okay. Best of luck. You're beautiful and strong and can beat this!

  137. Dear Annika,

    I´m so sorry to know that you have cancer. It´s trully amazing how this can happen to the kindest people in the world , you being one of them. I´m really, really sorry to hear about this and I hope you will continue blogging at least from time to time just so that you can tell us that you are OK. You really are amazing Annika and I really enjoy reading your blog. Reading your blog made me a lot of times reflect about certain things and also I´m really happy to have known you. You made me laugh so many times and help me forget my cloudy days.

    Pls take care and I really hope and pray that you´ll get better. I don´t understand how this can happen to the best of people...

    Best wishes for you dear Annika,

  142. Duktiga och kloka tjej. Så hemskt orättvist! Har mest läst dina krönikor i Sofies mode, egentligen var det på grund av dina texter jag köpte tidningen.

    Kämpa tjejen! Håller tummarna för dig och de andra medsystrarna där ute som har fått samma hemska sjukdom.

    Varma hälsningar och styrkekramar!

    ReplyDelete
  143. Har försökt skriva något bra här några gånger nu. Raderat allt bara hela tiden. Vet inte vad jag ska säga... alls. Mer än att att jag tänker på dig så himla mycket och att du förtjänar allt annat än förbannad jävla cancer (man får svära extra mycket när det gäller något som man hatar så fruktansvärt mycket). Livet är så himla orättvist. Så himla himla orättvist... Men att det kommer gå bra, det vet jag, för det måste det och för att du är så himla himla bra att det inte finns några andra alternativ liksom.

    Som sagt, du finns i mina tankar.

Du, som person, inspirerar mig väldigt mycket. För mig känns det bara så orättvist att det här ska drabba dig, som att du inte har haft mycket nog. Jag hoppas och håller tummarna (även min lilla kissekatts "tummar") för att allt ska gå bra och att du blir frisk snart! Kärlek, omtanke och styrka till dig!

But I know that no matter what happens, there are many many people thinking about you, praying for you, and caring even though we haven't met you. I have no doubt that we will all completely understand wherever you choose to take the blog. I dearly hope that the cancer can be erased and that you can continue on your life of being the inspirational person you are. (It's true! YOU are an inspiration!)

  182. Annika, I've just read your blog for a while but I truly enjoy every entry you have posted. Each of them is insightful in their own way. This blog is unlike any other (fashion) blogs out there because you let us - readers - know snippets of your life as well and you are not afraid to be blatant about it.

    I'm certain that you are able to overcome even the hardest challenges which you are currently facing. A lot of people, including me, love you and will always be there to support you.
