General
CANCER DIAGNOSIS
In January 2019 she was diagnosed with breast cancer, and in March that year underwent a mastectomy on her right breast. She resumed competing one month after the surgery. "It has been important for me not to be defined by cancer or multiple sclerosis. I'm Anna-Carin. I live with these conditions but my personality has not changed, it is the same as it was before I ended up in a wheelchair. I am the same person but with a little more experience of some things I would rather have escaped. I realised that male table tennis players have a big advantage because you reach much better when you do not have a breast. One of my national teammates said to me, 'Have your arms grown longer, Anna-Carin?'" (anna-carinahlquist.se, 20 Jan 2021; svt.se, 16 Sep 2019)
