February 4th is #WorldCancerDay. Here at Youth Cancer Europe, we continue to fight harder than ever to ensure that the voices of young cancer patients and survivors are heard across the continent, empowering them to become a key part of how cancer treatment and after-care is shaped in their own territories, and ensuring that the best possible, quality treatment is accessible to all regardless of where they come from.
“I was shocked to find out I have cancer but after two years spent in the hospital I finally understood that it was not the end of my story.”
Dana Nica
Cancer Survivor
“When I had to face cancer, I realised that true strength is not physical and it comes from the desire to overcome.”
Andreea Samartinean
Cancer survivor
“During treatment, there were moments when I feared I would lose everything but this helped me want more from life.”
Emanuel Schipor
Cancer survivor
“I think survivors also should be able to express their voice and be part of the decision making process.”
