New research shows: active lifestyle most beneficial for breast cancer
The beneficial impact of physical activity on survival after a breast cancer diagnosis has been demonstrated repeatedly. A new large-scale study comparing the effects on different types of cancer shows that the impact is greatest for breast cancer.
Vebego Cleaning & Services, new partner of Pink Ribbon: "We want to offer more than just a nice workplace."
"Our people are our gold. We value their well-being greatly," says Denise Vrouenraets, director of marketing & sales at Vebego Cleaning & Services. "That's why we are wholeheartedly entering into a partnership with Pink Ribbon."

Must read
Fear of relapse after breast cancer
Once the treatments are over, everyone breathes a sigh of relief, except you, who have survived the cancer. Your body doesn't feel the same, but most of all, sometimes the fear of the cancer returning creeps up on you. Cancer instills fear. Especially in the first year after diagnosis, but also later, especially during check-ups, fear of relapse sometimes rears its ugly head. This is normal. The majority of all cancer survivors face it regularly.
It's not just pink - women testify about their breast cancer story
Several women share their breast cancer stories. Watch the stories of Sofie, Patsy, Denise, Albana, Els, Denise, Jeannin, Christelle, and Irène.
Reintegration into the workplace after breast cancer
Breast cancer does not mean the end of a career. On the contrary, most breast cancer patients want to return to work after their treatment. In many cases, adapted work is necessary, but this is not always possible. Occupational physician Mathieu Versée lists the obstacles and proposes solutions. "Reintegrating people who have undergone cancer treatment into the workplace is a win for employers."
Pink Ribbon is the Belgian organization dedicated to the fight against breast cancer every day.
The non-profit organization Pink Ribbon is the national organization working every day to improve the medical treatment of breast cancer and increase the quality of life of (former) breast cancer patients. Our mission is ready and clear to eliminate the disease and reduce its impact.
To this end, we are setting up several projects in Belgium under 5 pillars:
- Breast cancer awareness
- Prevention
- Early detection of breast cancer
- Psychosocial support for (former) patients and their surroundings
- Research
To finance these projects, we raise funds managed in the bosom of the Pink Ribbon non-profit organization and at the Pink Ribbon Fund, the latter under the auspices of the King Baudouin Foundation.
