Leeuwarden – How do you look after each other if you need help and support if you have cancer and paid care is under stress?

11 April Leeuwarden

On April 11, Cancer.nl is organizing an anniversary get-together at De Skulp in Leeuwarden. Who it’s for: People with cancer and their loved ones who want to use their experience for more informal support to others in the future are highly encouraged to consider this.

More attention to informal care is needed

The number of people with cancer will increase by twenty percent in the coming years. While less and less hands come to bed. Mutual care will become more important in the lives of patients and their loved ones.

“People who have experienced this disease themselves know better than anyone what problems a cancer patient faces, and what support is needed,” says Chris van Vlissingen, director of cancer.nl. This is the idea behind the meeting. We want to know what is going on and what cancer.nl can do to provide guidance for people with and after cancer in the future.

To start a network with and for young people with cancer in Friesland A special warm welcome is given to young people (20-30 years old) who would like to consider how they can support their peers in Friesland.
