    Pink Monday: Goele returned to class 6 months after her diagnosis

    Goele Van Roy is a Latin and Dutch teacher. At the beginning of 2019, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. At the start of the new school year, she wanted to be back in front of the class: "At the beginning of February last year, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I underwent surgery and received radiotherapy, and for the next five years I have to take antihormone therapy. During the summer months, I felt pretty good and wanted to go back to work. I am a Latin and Dutch teacher and enjoy teaching. I didn't want to stay on sick leave for too long, because it's certainly not financially obvious."

    Returning to work after breast cancer

    Thanks to initiatives like Pink Monday and organizations like Cohezio, there is a growing awareness among employees and employers of the importance of well-framed reintegration into the workplace after cancer. In times when many vacancies go unfilled, this is no unnecessary luxury.

    Return to work after breast cancer deserves a prominent place within the treatment pathway

    Returning to work after breast cancer is a meaningful step - in all respects - that deserves proper attention and support. However, reintegration is not always easy. It is very important that patients, right from the start of treatment, are well informed and, in addition to family, employer and colleagues, hospital care providers also play an important role in this. This is also shown by the study Exploring practice-based evidence aimed at maintaining/resuming work for cancer patients in Belgium. Today, however, our country lacks a clear guideline for delivering "good practice" in this domain, taking into account the reality in the healthcare landscape on the one hand and scientific findings on the other.
