Eén op de negen vrouwen in ons land krijgt ooit borstkanker. Terwijl de wetenschap steeds meer kans op genezing biedt, blijkt de kennis over borstkanker bij het grote publiek nog erg versnipperd te zijn. Zowel patiënten, hun omgeving als zorgverleners blijven met vragen zitten over de ziekte, over de impact ervan op onder meer zelfbeeld, relaties en seksualiteit en over hoe het leven verder moet na borstkanker.
A growing number of children and adolescents are experiencing and surviving cancer. This review aims to identify the demographic, medical, and psychosocial correlates of perceived post‐traumatic growth in individuals of any age who were affected by paediatric cancer. Findings will highlight protective factors that may facilitate post‐traumatic growth, allowing for directed social support, intervention, and follow‐up care.
Wanneer je geconfronteerd wordt met kanker, wil je vaak sterk zijn en je moedig tonen naar anderen toe. ’Het lukt me wel!’, zeg je en hulp vragen doe je liever niet. In plaats van jezelf ruimte te geven, ben je misschien nog strenger voor jezelf dan voorheen. Je móet zo snel mogelijk alles terug kunnen zoals voor je diagnose, je móet zo snel mogelijk herstellen, je mág anderen niet tot last zijn… Onbewust verhoog je de druk voor jezelf, terwijl je misschien beter van strategie verandert.
