Feelings
Cancer has a major impact on your life. Everything may change. It may make you angry, sad or lonely.
Intimacy and sexuality
The diagnosis and treatment of cancer can have an impact on your relationship and sex life. How do you deal with that?
Children
You have cancer... How do you tell your children or grandchildren? And should you tell them? How do you go about it?
Lotus Lotus
Contact with peers is hugely important. Talking to each other makes you realise that you are not alone. There are various groups of fellow sufferers who can support you in this.
Relaxation
Being ill usually also brings stress. Worrying about the illness, the treatment, the consequences. This can be detrimental to the healing process. Therefore, it is important to get back to the necessary rest, control and relaxation.
Parents and partner
You are not alone in your battle with cancer. Your parents and partners are also affected. Help and support are available for them as well.
Sports and leisure
Being seriously ill does not mean that you cannot/should not maintain your body condition. Improved fitness will obviously help the healing process.
Palliative care
Palliative care focuses mainly on improving the quality of life of people with life-threatening illnesses.
Administration and practical matters
You are ill, but life goes on... You have to study, look for work, apply for jobs, have children, buy a house... How does this work? And what do you need to bear in mind? Where can you get the support you need?
Grief and loss
When you are seriously ill, you lose a lot of things. You can no longer go to work, you have to put your studies on hold, you can no longer go to the gym, you see your friends less often, etc. How do you deal with that? There are various organisations that can help you with this.
School, work and training
When you are seriously ill, studies and work often fade into the background. But these issues still demand your attention. How do I get back to work? Can I continue studying part-time? Will I get the support I need?
Appearance
Cancer can also bring physical changes, which may make you feel insecure or sad. In what ways can you get support for this?
Nutrition
Can you still eat anything during cancer treatment? How come my taste and smell change? What is a low-germ diet? The dietitian can answer all these questions.
Friends, family and loved ones
During your illness, contact with your friends and family often diminishes. Nevertheless, it is important to keep them informed of developments and progress in your healing process. What is the best way to do this?
Fertility and childbearing
Does cancer affect fertility? And is that effect temporary or permanent? Discuss any desire for children with your doctor and ask what you should do.
Meaningfulness and spirituality
When you have cancer, several life questions often come up. Various services within the hospital can help you with these. Be sure to make use of them.
