Suffering from cancer and being in contact
The dates for the first half of 2024 are here!
Dear patients, relatives and interested parties, Cancer is a major challenge for you personally and for your relatives. It is not only about medical issues, but also about how you can adapt to the new situation with your own life planning. With our online event series "Suffering from cancer and being in contact", we would like to introduce you to some topics from the University Cancer Centre Hamburg (UCCH) that take a holistic approach to your health and well-being. We are deliberately using an online format so that you can find out more at your convenience in any situation.
The series of events is explicitly a joint initiative of our network. Together with all the experts from the North, we are there to provide you with advice and support and would like to make it easier for you to deal with your illness in terms of content. We always endeavour to take a 360-degree view, in which the patient representatives of the self-help groups support us with their experiences.
We look forward to staying in contact with you.
On behalf of all our colleagues and partners
Your UCCH Board of Directors

Sleep and cancer
Many cancer patients suffer from sleep disorders during the course of their illness, which can lead to a stressful lack of sleep. This can be not only physically but also mentally gruelling.

Existential fears after cancer diagnosisA cancer diagnosis triggers many fears and pressing questions - which therapy is the right one? What are the chances of survival? At the same time, there are also very pragmatic questions such as: How is my income secured? Who will pay my daily sickness allowance? Where can I get help? These worries about their livelihood weigh heavily on many patients.
