Oncology: oncoteam and oncology rehabilitation

Those suffering from a serious, life-threatening condition sometimes need additional help. Cancer catches people off guard and affects their 'life' in its totality. You may feel confused, isolated, anxious, powerless... You need a listening ear. To this end, the Psychosocial Support Team is at the disposal of the patient, family and other persons in the immediate vicinity.

A cancer diagnosis often involves invasive treatment (surgery, chemotherapy, radiation treatment, immunotherapy or antihormonal therapy). After treatment, many people experience psycho-social and/or physical problems such as stress, anxiety, sexual problems, ongoing fatigue, painful joints, reduced condition...often with consequences for their quality of life and psychological well-being.

Studies show that physical activity can alleviate persistent fatigue, enhance physical fitness and improve psychological well-being.
