Über Sterben, Freundschaft, Würde – und darüber, wie wir mit Krankheit und Abschied umgehen.Mein heutiger Gast bringt eine ungewöhnliche Perspektive mit: Lou Bihl war in ihrem – wie sie sagt – ersten Leben Radioonkologin, hat unzählige Menschen medizinisch und menschlich begleitet – und schreibt heute Romane, die unter die Haut gehen. In ihrem neuen Buch „Nicht tot zu sein, ist noch kein Leben“ erzählt sie die Geschichte von Marlene, die unheilbar krank ist und selbst ...
