Cancer 0-1 Paskowski

In May I got diagnosed with Cancer in 3 Grade Stadium just days before leaving to Dahab which would have been most probably my last travel of my lifetime.

I directly got in contact with some of the best doctors in Germany. They have done an incredible job. I did 3 month chemo, 1 operation on my stomach and now 2 operations on my lung.

Today I received the results from the last lung operation which just happened 9 days ago and the results are negative.

That means from today on I am healed in clinical termss. Well I had to pay for this success with my body. Lost bigger sections of my Lung and feel like a 90 year old but from today on it will go better step by step - the first Lung Rehabilitation starts in less than 2 weeks.

I will also join a program which controls my cancer status every 3 month for the next 5-10 years to decrease the risk of cancer again.

For now I am working on our new movie "Second Life" which is sure part of my great mentally situation as it gives lots of power working on something connected to windsurfing.

I plan to hit the water myself again in spring 2011 - slowly. I also plan a full Comeback into the competition scene by late 2011 anything else would be forced and might influence the health situation negatively.

I need to say thanks to a couple of persons. My Mum and Dad for supporting me 24hrs a day for the last 8 months. My sponsors especially Craig, Karin, Raoul,

Renesto, Gianluca, Franco, Katja and Volker who always stayed behind me and of course a big thanks to all my friends and the full windsurfing community which caused a big chaos on my email database but helped me with thousands 

of great emails.

Thanks for ALL
