Cancer Support

CANCER SUPPORT GROUP asbl

Nobody chooses to get cancer and it isn’t a pleasant experience. But it can be much less unpleasant if you get the help and support you need.

In most EU countries, we get first class medical care and for us as officials, the Sickness Insurance picks up the bill but often some extra help is welcome particularly for those people whose family is not on the spot.

WHO ARE WE ?

We are a group of Commission staff and former staff and their families who have experienced cancer at first hand either as cancer patients or because someone close to us has suffered from cancer.

We are volunteers but we work in co-peration with DG HR C1 (Social Welfare) and the Medical Service.

WHAT IS OUR AIM ?

Our aim is to provide this extra support for colleagues and their families who are facing cancer whenever it is needed - perhaps to cope with the shock of the diagnosis or while undergoing treatment,
coming back to work or taking invalidity.
