Life after breast cancer
Is the black hole beckoning? For many breast cancer patients, the end of medical treatment does not feel like liberation, but rather like emptiness. While the outside world often thinks that someone is "done" and can simply pick up the thread of life again, many women (and men) experience the opposite.

Must read
The patient's voice must be heard more clearly
For years, we have been hearing that patients should be at the center of healthcare, but in reality, people say that they are not being seen or heard enough. The Patient Expert Center, co-founded by colon cancer survivor Stefan Gijssels, is laying the groundwork to change this.
Music helps with chemo brain
Cancer treatments can affect memory, concentration and other brain-related functions. Relaxing music reduces the fog in your head, research suggests.

Hopeful research
Awakening dormant cancer cells
Pink Ribbon is the Belgian organization dedicated to the fight against breast cancer every day.
The non-profit organization Pink Ribbon is the national organization working every day to improve the medical treatment of breast cancer and increase the quality of life of (former) breast cancer patients. Our mission is ready and clear to eliminate the disease and reduce its impact.
To this end, we are setting up several projects in Belgium under 5 pillars:
- Breast cancer awareness
- Prevention
- Early detection of breast cancer
- Psychosocial support for (former) patients and their surroundings
- Research
To finance these projects, we raise funds managed in the bosom of the Pink Ribbon non-profit organization and at the Pink Ribbon Fund, the latter under the auspices of the King Baudouin Foundation.
