New paper alert! Written by Evi Bakker and Helen Driessen and my NWO (Dutch Research Council) Vidi team, in the context of the SMART project. Relatives of persons with advanced cancer are faced with substantial caring tasks and social and existential challenges. Their relatives' illness may disrupt common notions of what is and feels "normal". But what is "normality"? Is it doing as we always did, as much as possible? Or is it crafting new normals? In this paper, we aim to gain insight into adaptation processes of redefining normality and its influencing factors in relatives of patients with advanced cancer. We use Brandstädter coping theory of assimilation and accommodation as a framework. Have a look, it is #qualitativeresearch and it is open access! https://lnkd.in/eK2376Pm Leonieke Kranenburg Marjolein Lugtenberg Nancy Luu Erica Witkamp

Sharing an insightful interview with Memorial Sloan Kettering President & CEO Dr. Selwyn Vickers discussing advancements in cancer treatment. As someone battling prostate cancer, I find the progress in this field both hopeful and insightful. This interview sheds light on the complexities of cancer, its treatment, and the importance of research. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the latest developments in oncology. #CancerAwareness #ProstateCancer #OncologyResearch #CancerTreatment #MedicalInnovation #HealthcareLeaders #CancerSurvivor #MemorialSloanKettering #CancerResearch #FightCancer

🎗 In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we share the personal story that drives our mission at Arbrea Labs. The story of our CEO, Dr Endri Dibra is not just about innovation but a testament to resilience and dedication to making a difference in the lives of those affected by breast cancer. Dr. Dibra's experience with breast cancer in his family was a turning point. It ignited a spark within him to create a revolutionary solution to help women who have undergone or will undergo mastectomy and reconstructive surgery. The trauma of this experience shaped our commitment to a patient-centered medical-aesthetic dimension. The result: Arbrea Breast, an augmented reality simulator that empowers women to regain confidence in themselves and their bodies. Our journey began with the belief that technology and innovation can be beacons of hope. Augmented reality serves as a window to a brighter future, especially for those who've faced breast cancer's challenges. It's a reminder of our mission to revolutionize aesthetics, putting the patient at the heart of their healing journey as we continue our commitment to helping women regain their confidence. 🌸 #BreastCancerAwareness #ArbreaLabs #PatientCenteredCare Credits: Marigona Kuqi Cut to Create swissalbs
