Lucky Girl or Unfortunate?
When young women like Yvonne and Hülya are struck by breast cancer, the world comes to a standstill.
Checking your breasts for breast cancer? You are still young, breast cancer does not seem real? Until you find a lump.
You cannot believe it... and therefore you remain in denial... for a long time. Or the doctor does not recognize it.
Young women have to discover breast cancer themselves by 'looking and feeling'. If a tumor is discovered, the consequences are significant. Just like with Yvonne and Hülya.
3000 young women are diagnosed with breast cancer annually in the Netherlands alone. Their prognoses are often poor and the treatments terribly harsh. Besides the number of deaths, the consequences of the treatment are unimaginable.
This must be reduced! The Early Warning Scan helps with that.
These young women are committed to the early detection of breast cancer:
In 2019, Patty, 35 years old, was struck by breast cancer.
In 2018, Eva, 22 years old, was diagnosed with breast cancer. She wrote the book, "Huisje, boompje, borstkanker".
In 2012, Jeanine was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 23. Ten years later, she has regained her life.
Saska Leenders-Wolf was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 39. She wrote the book "Dubbel" (Double).
