One in three Dutch people will develop cancer in the course of his or her life. Everyone knows someone in his or her environment with cancer, so you will regularly think about it. Today that happens even more, because it is World Cancer Day.
Campaign
This year's campaign has the theme 'You have cancer together'. Whether you are sick, sympathize with someone or grieve for a loved one you have lost to cancer. You are never alone.
Transit rose
At various places in the Netherlands, passing on roses were and are handed out, with which you can put someone's heart under the belt. Didn't see a rose? Of course you can also buy one yourself.
Walk-in house
There is also extra attention on World Cancer Day for the walk-in centers and psycho-oncological centers. You can find them throughout the Netherlands. They offer support and guidance in dealing with (the consequences of) cancer.
