ALL ANTWERP: “I have been cancer-free for two years now” (Antwerp)
Every day our reporter and photographer pick a casual passer-by off the street for a chat. Want everyone has a story. And certainly in Antwerp. Today: Chris De Waeghe (74).
“Every Friday I get coffee cakes for my neighbor. I also take for myself. But not too much, I don’t snack as much as I used to. I have been spent cancer free for two years now and leave a little more on my food.”
“I volunteered at the hospital in Hoboken for seven years. In the end I was always so tired, I didn’t understand anything. And not much later I was diagnosed. It took me nine chemo and 25 onset radiations, but then I was finally off it. My son came to help me with washing, ironing and preparing food.”
“When I turned seventy son, I told my once wanted to fly. I had only been on vacation by bus. My grandson then took me to Mexico, where my brother has lived for years. He arranged it all on the computer. The following year we returned together and the third time I flew to Mexico all by myself. And then it was corona. I don’t know if I would go back now. I think it’s a bit too dangerous. Suppose they shoot the plane out of the sky.”
