Carmen Monge-Montero: Blue March – time to raise awareness about colorectal cancer
Carmen Monge-Montero, Researcher and patient advocate at Youth Cancer Europe, posted on LinkedIn:
“Hi Network!
March is Blue March, a time to raise awareness about colorectal cancer. And what better way to do it than by sharing the inspiring story of Katell Maguet?
I met Katell at the Inspire2Live conference, where her experience as a researcher and patient advocate truly stood out. I am very happy to interview her and share her story with all of you.
Originally from France, Katell is a researcher and patient advocate based in the Netherlands.
Diagnosed with Stage 3 colorectal cancer at 40, she went through three years of treatment and seven surgeries.
She shares what it was like to navigate cancer as a migrant in the Netherlands and highlights the stigma surrounding colorectal cancer, especially among young people.
Katell is a patient advocate working to amplify the voices of patients and healthcare professionals. By combining her multidisciplinary research background with her personal journey, she is driving change in patient care.
Outside of advocacy, she finds joy in hiking, cycling, and diving. And now, she’s taking on a new challenge: On March 15, she will ice skate to raise funds and awareness for colorectal cancer research with MDL Fonds!
Together, we can make a difference. Will you join her?
Support her here at Voormdlfonds.
