Great news! I am cancer free ๐คฉ The surgery took everything cancerous out and it hasnโt spread! Iโll get local radiation therapy in February to make sure everything stays out.

The tumor removal surgery went well without any surprises. Iโm recovering well and should be up and about soon. It will take a few weeks to know what the findings are regarding the tumor and lymph node that will be tested.
Iโll keep you posted.

Dear everyone,
With great regret, I have to cancel my shows on the 6th and 8th of July. The reason is that my health is not good enough to responsibly perform the shows. I became exhausted after my last show with Nightwish in Finland. So much so that I collapsed and had to be

We did it! ๐คฉ Just over 3 weeks ago I returned from our Latin American tour, having to undergo surgery to remove my breast cancer. And last night I stood on the stage again, in front of you and with my brothers. โค๏ธ What an unbelievable feeling! Thank you all once again, really.
Speechless and overwhelmed ๐๐ป Thank you

To stand on stage after the rollercoaster of the last weeks was intense! A ride by itself in a way. With all kinds of emotions whirling while singing those amazing

I'm deeply disappointed that

I love my shorter hair! Even though Iโd rather have it long and healthy. But my hair grew thin, became brittle and wasnโt healthy anymore. I started using extensions that made it look beautiful again. I am grateful for the possibility of that, but like my natural me the most. 1/4
Iโm getting my energy back after the surgery and feel a huge relief to know it was successful! Iโm not back to a 100% but I have no doubt the shows will give me the power push I need to rock with all of you on the upcoming European tour ๐ค๐ป
