– It was what I had feared, and it was a mavepuster. I am trying to tackle it by saying that none of us is immortal. I am, after all, not the worst affected, and I have a life still, and there are options and help.
– But it is clear that at the age of 72, the situation is not as fun as it could be, and it is a new life I need to live.
– The old good life of fun and games is over, but I’m trying to see the positive in a difficult time. I have to be, and it should do, I think. There is hope ahead, ” continues Stig Elling and adds:
on the other hand, was the doctor that found this stuff, very positive and had a good time. And it was really nice to see that they had a good time for me, so it’s all in the least has happened in a good way despite everything.
