Presenter Tanja Bülter has breast cancer. After the "shock" she took up the fight and "doesn't want to let herself get down".
RTL presenter Tanja Bülter (49) has breast cancer. She got the diagnosis in "autumn 2020" after she "felt the knot herself", as she said in an interview with "Bild". After the diagnosis, she was "in shock". But the mother of two has taken up the fight and "does not want to let herself get down," as she goes on to say.
"I was in shock"
With a "survey" that does not belong there, everything started rolling. "There was one examination after the next – sonography, mammography and biopsy," said Bülter. She even went to the tissue removal in a good mood. "In the hospital I was told that it was a malignant tumor that had to be treated with chemotherapy. I was in shock. When you suddenly hear that you have a life-threatening illness, your life changes overnight. Before all things as a mother of two ", she recalls in an interview with the daily newspaper.
She has been receiving treatment ever since. "At first I had chemotherapy every week. Now every two weeks. It always depends on how bad my side effects are," she says of the therapy. An operation will probably also come on her. "Usually there is radiation therapy after the operation. But I haven't got that far yet," says Bülter.
How did the family react?
Tanja Bülter is a single mother of two children, her son is 13 years old, her daughter eight. "My daughter is still too young, she did not get it right right away. My son immediately became very proactive and wanted to google directly what treatment options were available," said the presenter in an interview with RTL. "He's really good at helping and is already a professional in clearing the dishwasher." And she explains: "The positive thinking! I have retained that despite this setback. I will not let myself get down," says Tanja Bülter of "Bild" and on "RTL" she reveals: "The good news is that the treatment is working . "
