Memoir | 256 p.
A Rushed Life; living with a brain tumor
A gripping account of a young woman whose life has become a ticking bomb.
‘My name is Ingeborg. I am thirty-nine years old and live life to the fullest. I have a four year old son, a two year old daughter, my own company and a lot of fun. And I have a brain tumor.’
Two years ago, Ingeborg van Beek got the devastating diagnosis: she had an inoperable brain tumor. During the following tests and the life-threatening procedures, she was besides herself, torn between sorrow, uncertainty and fear, while within her, a fire started burning more fiercely.
Candidly and with a refreshing dash of humor, Ingeborg tells about living with a ticking bomb inside her head. Suddenly, everything in her life needs to be measured. Do I have any regrets? Any unfulfilled desires? Is my relationship still fulfilling enough?
When a doctor tells you to take it slow, how do you follow his advice when you are in a rush to do everything and to do it all right now?
