I am Caro.
Some friends call me “Lionsita”, probably because my lion’s mane goes so well with my star sign, I excel in stressful situations and show strength, but in “normal life” I tend to take a more relaxed approach, like a lioness.

I had a very wise grandmother who loved to pass on her wisdom in the form of sayings.
Her “No matter what happens to you – you just have to know how to help yourself” became a guiding principle for me and is still my favorite saying today.

I have a lot.
A great husband, three wonderful sons, an impressive mother, a large family, great friends and I have metastatic breast cancer.

Why I’m telling you all this is because in crisis situations, it often takes a push from the outside to get back on track internally. I am lucky to have a well-functioning social environment. Everyone I introduced to my illness took on roles.
They organized themselves, covered the most diverse areas and helped me to cope with the new situation.

Because I have been so well supported myself and have built up an extensive knowledge and network, I know how important it is to have access to this from the very first moment of a cancer diagnosis. With our BE accepted project, we make this possible for you.

And so that you know who I am, I will tell you more about myself and also about my time after my cancer diagnosis.
I like to laugh, love to live, am curious and hungry for knowledge.
I love traveling and being on the move, but I also enjoy peace and quiet.
The origin of this lies in my childhood. I grew up on a mountain in Styria, surrounded by forest, nature and my parents’ hotel.
Both tranquillity and hustle and bustle were available, depending on what I felt like doing.
