Did you know that 80 – 90% of all cancer patients experience significant skin problems as a result of their treatment?

Not only due to chemotherapy, radiation therapy and immunotherapy. But also because of medication, post-treatments (like hormone therapy) and stress that this journey involves.

Our skin is our largest organ and is made out of rapidly dividing cells, these are the very cells that are attacked during treatment. Even the good ones.

Because of the chemo, as a woman, you will end up in meno pause which makes the skin even drier.

The body and the skin are dehydrated, looses elasticity -causing the skin to tear-, the wounds can not heal because of a low immune system, medication thins out your skin and and you even end up in the menopause.

Menopause makes your skin even drier. From the age of 45 you will probably stay in menopause because of the chemo. Before that age limit the chances are high that you can bounce back from it.
