More and more women face cancer. The treatment is severe. The Mimi Ullens Foundation improve the quality of life of cancer patients during their treatments. By improving the well-being of cancer patients, we substantially improve their chances of recovery. Better within their bodies, they have greater strength to carry on the fight. Our help also makes it possible to combat loneliness and isolation through the warm welcome provided by specifically trained professionals.
In 2012, 6.6 million women throughout the world discovered they were suffering from cancer. While treatment is effective, its nefarious effects on the body are considerable: skin reactions and broken nails, as well as loss of hair, eyebrows & eyelashes. Women often feel they lose their femininity and their dignity. Fighting these effects is of capital importance. If they are OK in their bodies, patients have greater courage to fight the illness.
