Charlotte Potts Shares Candid Chemotherapy Update, Detailing Daily Routines and Resolve

The ProSieben political reporter is chronicling treatment on Instagram during a temporary break from reporting.

Overview

  • Potts posted a new photo series, including a selfie taken after a session, images from the treatment room, and moments from walks, reading and exercise.
  • She told followers there are normal days and days she would rather forget, adding that she keeps her glass half full.
  • She described chemotherapy as far from a stroll but said each treatment feels like a step closer to her goal.
  • Her coping rituals include listening to Pirates of the Caribbean en route to the clinic, treating herself to a pretzel and cappuccino after blood draws, and leaning on yoga, walks and long-postponed books.
  • She said she misses work and everyday routines but is proceeding step by step, drawing strength from time with her two young sons as she continues treatment.
