With this project, BeMSA Ghent wants to give more context to the word "cancer". We try to give a picture of life with cancer and life after cancer treatment. We will do this by a few mini testimonials based on interviews.
For this first edition, we will focus on childhood cancer. We will make 4 short videos which each look at this from a different perspective:
- pediatric cancer patients
- ex-patients
- family and friends of young cancer patients
- health care providers in the pediatric oncology department
This way, we want to support children and their families who have to encounter a similar fight through these testimonies. We also want to make the wider population more aware of what such a fight contains and what the impact is on life after cancer.
Furthermore, some medical students will visit the pediatric oncology department to offer the patients a fun activity.
