Interview with Aimé Van Hecke: "The pink illumination of the European Parliament made me proud."
The fact that the non-profit organization Pink Ribbon is able to Pink Ribbon organize campaigns in the fight against breast cancer and involve more and more companies in that fight is partly thanks to Aimé Van Hecke. Together with his partner Bettina, he is keen to support socially relevant projects. Van Hecke is therefore well-versed in the media.
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."

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.

Hopeful research
Awakening dormant cancer cells
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.
