Mark Reale, Head of Patient Advocacy and Communications Europe and Canada at Takeda Oncology, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“According to the European Quality of Life Survey, there are around 100 million carers in Europe, representing around 20% of the EU population.
Carers come from all walks of life and take on many roles – supporting someone with a health condition, caring for family members, or helping others in their communities in countless ways. For many, this means navigating the enormous challenge of balancing care with work, family, and personal commitments – demonstrating extraordinary strength and resilience.
Every carer deserves to have their voice heard.
Their perspectives are essential to truly understanding the impact of a cancer diagnosis – and all that comes with it.
Working closely with this community has profoundly shaped my understanding of what meaningful support must look like, and the areas that should be championed to ensure better care and recognition for everyone affected.”
