Wie geht es eigentlich Björns Frau??

diese form des blutkrebses ,an der lena erkrankt ist ,ist nicht heilbar.
2005 erhielten die 2 die diagnose und gaben im expressen folgendes interview-

Very sad news for the Ulvaeus family
Lena Ulvaeus has been diagnosed with a deadly form of cancer. She and Björn talked to Expressen's reporter Anna Bäsén about it.
"I will probably not be
alive in ten years"
Björn and Lena Ulvaeus were called in for an urgent meeting with the doctor.
In the consultation room they received the terrible information: Lena has
incurable and deadly leukaemia.
Now they exclusively tell Expressen about the struggle against time.
- We don't plan for the future, I will probably not be alive in ten years. You
try to suppress the disease, we take each day as it comes, says Lena.
Two years ago Lena Ulvaeus, 55, discovered she had four hazelnut-sized lumps
on her neck.
- It happened suddenly, but right away I realized it wasn't normal. I had
been sweating a lot at night before, but I thought it was due to menopause.
The first test didn't reveal anything. But Lena convinced her doctor to get
a referral to Danderyds Hospital for a bone marrow test. One day
they called from the hospital and said that the doctor wanted to meet her as
soon as possible.
- Then I said to Björn that this doesn't sound good, this isn't benign, says Lena.
It's incurable
At the hospital she received the dramatic information: You have chronic
lymphatic leukaemia and it's incurable.
- We fell apart, both Björn and I. We just held each other. After we had
walked out of there, it was as if we were out of it. It has been a long
process to deal with the information. At first I couldn't believe it was
true. Then I laid there in despair, I couldn't sleep and thought about
dying.
- In a way you get used to it. People say that you're brave, but it's not
like that. I don't have a choice. I can roll around and scream at the top of
my lungs, but it wouldn't help at all, says Lena.
Lena's cancer has put a lot of strain on her family.
- It's terrible. We live with the disease, I think about it every day. And
that I can't do anything about it, Björn says and and continues
- The best moments are when we are able to forget about it.
Can't say
The doctors can't say how much time she has left. Lena can become ill and
die in 6 months - or in twelve years.
- The worst thing is to wake up at three in the morning and start thinking
about how much time I have left. I'm happily married. It is so sad to know
that we won't grow old together, she says.
Right now Lena is feeling quite good, despite dizziness and sweating. She
does the things she usually do but at a slower pace.
The family's support is the most important.
- It goes up and down. There are days when I'm very tired and feel lousy.
Sometimes I get dizzy and have to hold on to Björn while we're out walking.
Since the disease is incurable, there is no treatment available until the symptoms
appear. Because of that, Lena has chosen not to have the monthly routine
check-ups. They just made her worried and she got to see a different doctor each
time.
- You sit there in the waiting room like a scared rabbit and wait to hear how
sick you are. It feels much better not having to deal with those damn blood
tests. I'll go to the hospital when I get ill.
Lena thinks that the support from her family is the most important
thing. Björn is constantly by her side. The four adult children have
also dealt with it well, Lena thinks.
- The children know that
it's true, but I think they suppress it. There is no other way to deal
with it. You can't fret about it the time you have left. The death
sentence has made Lena think more about life and its conditions.
You become more truthful
- You become different as a person when you have a limited time
left. You
can't be mean towards anyone, you probable become kinder and more
truthful, she says and laughs.
Lena praises the doctors and nurses, but is critical towards the
organisation with constant changes of doctors, the wait and consultation
rooms closed for the summer.
- It's crazy. It's the politicians' fault, the health care sector needs more resources.
Now the Ulvaeus family hope that Lena's story will help others.
- Most people have never heard about this disease and that it's
incurable. I hope that the research will continue, Lena says.
jetzt sind ja schon 10 jahre nach der schrecklichen diagnose vergangen und ich freue mich jedesmal ,sie gemeinsam bei veranstaltungen zu sehen .
mögen sie noch lange zeit gemeinsam den weg gehen.

Hallo zusammen

Bin neu angemeldet im Forum (lese aber schon länger mit).

Laut einem Kupé Artikel von 2013 hat Lena keine äusserlich sichtbaren Symptome, es gäbe nicht den typischen Krankheitsverlauf. Es scheint sie nehmen Tag für Tag.

Björn scheint mir sehr viel beschäftigt: das Hotel, der Freidenker Verlag, seine Investments (Mineralwasser LOL etc.), Er sitzt im Verwaltungsrat des ABBA Museums und seine Hobbies (der Existenzphilosoph der ihn alle 2 Wochen zum debattieren trifft, seine Treffen mit einem Flüchtling aus Palästina [siehe das Neuste Skavlan Interview auf Youtube]). Und dann engagiert er sich ja auch für Humanisterna... ich denke Lena geht oft mit ihm, aber es scheint ihr gut genug zu gehen, dass Sie beide ihren Interessen nachgehen können...

Und sie meinte ja 2005, sie sei in 10 Jahren nicht mehr da... aber sie ist noch da. Das freut mich!
