Arm and shoulder Poet Laureate Lieke Marsman amputated | show

As a result of the tumor, Marsman could still move her right arm, but could no longer raise it. She described this process in her collection of poems The next scan will take 5 minutes† “The poison cup had to be completely empty,” the 31-year-old tweeted Friday evening. ‘This spring’s radiotherapy did not help at all, so my arm and shoulder were amputated this morning’. Marsman speaks of ‘a tough recovery’.

The poet, who will soon also be featured in the TV program Summer guests, refers to her operation in a subsequent tweet full of self-mockery. It does this in the form of a misleading online advertisement text, in which people usually have to click on a malicious link to find out certain ‘secret’ things, such as the wealth of celebrities or diet secrets. ‘This Woman Lost Five Kilos In One Day Click Here To Find Out What Her Secret Is’.
