Motorcycle adventures vs Cancer reality: What Spain taught me

Life with stage 4 cancer, for me, means constantly balancing adventure and uncertainty. In this video, I'm back on my Husqvarna Svartpilen 701, Katla, riding through the mountains near Málaga, Spain. Surrounded by stunning scenery, I reflect on the delicate contrast between chasing adventure and living with cancer. After a few weeks away, these rides remind me exactly why I'm still out here exploring—and how important it is not to take these moments for granted, because I was starting to!

At the end of the video, I head briefly back to Berlin for my immunotherapy.

Thanks for being here.

My dear sister, I am from Germany and I understand every word you are talking about. More than 7 years ago I also got the diagnosis of blood cancer, lymphoma stage 4e. With God's grace I survived after a very hard chemo.
I'm living here in the UK now with my beautiful Zimbabwean wife and riding my 36 years old Honda Transalp XL600V.
It's been a honor for me to find your channel and share a part of our lifes.
I wish you all the best for the future and let me say you are on the right way. Enjoy your life. When I saw your port in the breast it reminded me of my own. This month or the next I want to go back to Germany to remove this port after more than 7 years.
If you ever be in the UK, may you please contact me for a meeting. I'm so in touch with you and your story you have no idea.
God bless you so much 🙏
Lovely greetings from Dewsbury West Yorkshire
Gerd 🤗

In the 1980s US slang, YOU GO GIRL! Your attitude of gratitude will keep you going. Much love -

[jimmarshall]

I love your attitude, get out, explore, enjoy. The filming is pretty amazing too

[johnnovak]

How true... how true! You have to consciously take stock of your surroundings/situation and appreciate what you have. Take NOTHING for granted. Count your blessings.

[psackett]

You are an amazing, inspirational, wise and wonderful human ---- keep on keeping on. ❤

Make the most of life, that's what it's for. My illness has prevented me from riding my motorbike for a year now, but it still makes me dream.Happiness to you

As a stage 4 cancer survivor it makes me happy to see how you are handling this. You are so right when you say its your new normal and just deal with it. I will be praying for you.

Just wanted to say that watching your videos helps me to support a dear colleague who recently lost his wife and is fighting his own battle against cancer. Life can take unexpected turns and he certainly does not deserve the life he is living, then again, no one actuallly deserves this.. its difficult to find words to support friends suffering from cancer. Lost friends, colleagues and family to this and you feel powerless. Seeing you taking the maximum out of life makes me also think of my choices. You have made more impact than you probably realize by sharing your stories. Thank you for making the world a better place and I wish you many more stories under the beautiful sun in Spain!

Hi Towe, I hope this doesn't come across as depressing but I use my motorbikes to ride off up into the Welsh Hills and Valleys here in the UK as a therapy for my anxiety and depression, quite pathetic after watching and listening to the way you have adapted and deal with life, However, Today you sent me a ❤️ to compliment a comment that I sent you last month, all of a sudden I feel like that ungrateful old lady complaining about her blood test and scan, except my complaints are driven by low self-esteem, as I have mentioned to you before, you are A Bright Shining Star in Lifes Field of Darkness, Thank you, Like your boyfriend and even Sheila the pussycat I feel so humbled and privileged just to know you 🌹❤️🌹 OAP Wales UK.

Me after every video: "How cool this girl is!" Thanks, Towe! See you in the next video!)

[ianfutcher]

It’s amazing how well your cat adapts too.

[johnlounsbury]

So happy to see you post again, believe me we alll love you

[timsatchell]

Bless you, young lady..
You have exactly the right inspiring attitude.
Since 1981, i have fought this battle 3 times. I'm 68 now.
Motorcycles are a big part of that journey. Even being led around Motorcycle shows while not being on this planet.
Your positivity is very important. Never stop.
You are in my prayers - Tim ❤

The best things in life don't often come to you. You have to seek them out, make the effort and reap the reward. Awesome to see you having this much fun. Keep up the great work :)
