🎗️ Today, on #WorldCancerDay, I want to raise awareness about the countless individuals impacted by this relentless disease. More people than we realize are touched by cancer, either directly or through a loved one.
🤝 Sending a heartfelt hug to everyone facing the challenges of cancer. Your strength and resilience inspire us all.
🌟 Personally, my life took an unexpected turn when cancer entered. Losing my father was devastating, and a year ago, my sister battled a fierce sarcoma. Life changed, priorities shifted, and every moment became precious. It's a total rollercoaster once cancer becomes a part of your story. Long periods of uncertainty, difficult tests, waiting times, and challenging treatments make it a continuous rollercoaster.
Once cancer enters your life, it never leaves in a way. The checking periods keep your worries alive forever.
💙 Grateful for the support from companies like Philips during my father's illness and DAF Trucks NV during my sister's challenging times. Their compassion made a significant difference.
🏢 It's crucial for companies to understand the impact of cancer on individuals and families. Time for recovery is vital; pushing patients to return prematurely adds unnecessary burden. Let's prioritize empathy and support in the workplace.
🔬 Let's hope that advancements in science will lead us towards eradicating this terrible sickness. In the meantime, together, we can at least provide support to those going through the journey.
