Now Muriel is talking to the magazine “Bunte” for the first time regarding cancer, showing up on the cover with short hair. And tells how aggressively this raged in her body.
They are sentences that touch. The mother of three says: “I am absolutely confident and can say that I have done everything I might to face this cancer.”
What did she take upon herself? “I’ve had antibody therapy, chemotherapy, surgery – and I’m still doing radiotherapy at the moment. I’ve now spent almost a year of my life on this.”
A year full of ups and downs – and full of fears.
She felt the cancer herself
“One morning, as I almost always do, I was lying in my bathtub at 6:30 a.m. and (…) felt a relatively large lump on my left breast,” says Baumeister regarding the day in spring 2022, which changed everything.
And further: “I got dressed, took my daughter to school, took deep breaths to calm myself and went to my gynecologist the same day. He sent her to an oncologist who said, “Get used to the idea that you have breast cancer.”
She fought even though the chemo was hell. But: “In the end, that’s what saved my life”
When the cancer diagnosis was there, Baumeister “collapsed” and found support with her ex-husband (her son’s father). How bad the cancer diagnosis was last summer is illustrated by these words: “A year ago, in July, nobody was sure that I would be sitting here like this today.”
The actress describes the last few months as “probably the most difficult time of her life”. So intense that she almost mightn’t stand the chemotherapy with the bad side effects.
Baumeister says: “The chemo was hell on earth for me. (…) Everything else in my life, including the matter of alcoholism, was a pony farm in comparison. (…) After the 5th cycle, which was before Christmas, I wanted to stop. My son persuaded me to continue.”
Fortunately. Because she survived, she gets her last radiation therapy on Maundy Thursday. Metastases had not formed.

Baumeister has three children who stand by Mom in the difficult times: son Linus (29) from his marriage to actor Rainer Strecker (57), daughter Frieda (16) from his relationship with actor Pierre Besson (55) and daughter Ava ( 8), whose father is not publicly known.

Frankfurt (Hesse)– So young and already so dangerous!
Sad climax of a brutal attack that started harmlessly with a water gun! A 10-year-old boy went completely nuts last night and attacked police officers with a knife.
Residents in the settlement on Johann-Klohmann-Strasse (Frankfurt-Sossenheim) reported a disturbance shortly following two o’clock. At first everything sounded like routine work. A police patrol drove to the given address. The police went into the apartment building.
When approaching the reported apartment, the officers saw a boy. He had previously splashed around in the hallway with a harmless water pistol until he saw the police officers. He ran into the apartment, closed the door when he saw the uniformed men. The police officers made themselves known and knocked on the door.
A police spokesman said: “The boy responded by kicking the door from inside, starting to yell loudly and uttering insults and threats. Then he stabbed under the apartment door with a knife.” And the boy went more and more crazy.
According to the police, the boy suddenly opened the door for a short time, threw a kitchen knife in the direction of the officers and closed it once more. He repeated this twice more until the officers used tear gas and stopped the attacks.

Two teenage girls, who had previously locked themselves in a room, took advantage of this moment and were finally able to open the apartment door for the officers. The 10-year-old, who was then seized by the patrol, was initially treated by rescue workers who were called in due to a brief irritation of the respiratory tract. The two youths and the police officer were unharmed in the incident.
A police spokesman: “No legal guardian might be found on site. After admission to a child psychiatric facility was rejected, the boy was handed over to the mother who arrived later.”
