Cent Pur Cent and Kom op tegen Kanker are joining forces.
When you are confronted with cancer, not only does your body change, but so does the way you see yourself in the mirror. Your skin feels different, becoming drier, duller, sometimes even gray. Your hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes fall out. You change. For many patients, this feels like an additional burden on top of their treatment.
That is why Cent Pur Cent and Kom op tegen Kanker are joining forces. From now on, we will be hosting workshops together in oncology departments. Not just a beauty experience, but a moment of attention, self-care, and strength.
Nina's experience
Nina Putseys (34) from Diest was diagnosed with breast cancer in March this year. She discovered a dimple in her breast and immediately knew: “This isn't right!”
In the meantime, she underwent a mastectomy and 2 rounds of chemotherapy, with radiotherapy and hormone therapy still to come.
“Suddenly, I saw someone else in the mirror. My hair fell out, and my eyebrows and eyelashes couldn't withstand it either. Your self-confidence already takes a hit, and this makes it even more difficult. My pharmacist and doctor warned me. Your body will change, your skin will dry out and you will age. I really didn't want that, so I started applying high-quality products as a preventive measure. And the make-up immediately felt good. I always wear it. I'm so happy I discovered it, because thanks to the products, I still feel a little like Nina.”
For Nina and many others, the workshops are not just practical. They are a ray of light on dark days.
