Fighter Simone: How teddy and art therapy transform her life
In Wismar, Simone Busack's situation is an impressive example of how to deal with life crises. While her loyal Royal Poodle Teddy dozes peacefully behind a shop window and attracts the attention of passers-by, the 41-year-old fights against the shadows of her cancer. Northern Courier reports on her remarkable determination despite repeated diagnoses.
Simone, who has lived in Wismar for 18 years and loves the sea, not only discovered breast cancer called “Bommel” herself, but has also fought against uterine cancer and skin cancer. The way she deals with the illness is reflected in her courage to live. “I don't drink coffee anymore because of the chemotherapy,” she says, showing the humor that helps her get through this difficult time.
Creativity as therapy
A pivotal point in Simone's life is her studio in Wismar's old town, where she regularly offers courses. Here she uses art not only for self-expression, but also to deal with her illness.

Simone has already emphasized several times how important it is to pay attention to your own body and to take the signals seriously. Despite the weekly chemotherapy that often exhausts her, she has not given up hope and fights with a strong will against the challenges that life throws at her.
