It may sound unbelievable that the most exciting time of my life during a few last decades began after I was struck by cancer – but it was! My body fought to recover from all I had lost that had defined me as a woman, and I needed love, sex and fun in vast proportions to compensate for the hellish ordeal. I managed to turn myself from a victim to a victorious survivor. But these great changes whisked me into such a sequence of events that it was often hard to perceive what had actually happened, and what was just a trick of my mind.
