Celebrate life as a cancer survivor

Juliana was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 38, after which she underwent a treatment combination of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery and Herceptin therapy. With the tremendous support of her husband, son, family, friends and co-workers, she has been on a solid path of recovery.

An Onco-Aesthetics advocate

Dealing with a cancer diagnosis and the treatment side effects, she began to research into the possible changes that may happen to her skin, hair and body and how to minimize these changes during and post-cancer treatment. After she had finished the main hurdle of her cancer treatment, she asked herself, “What’s next?”. With the realization that feeling confident about the way one looks and one’s perception of their body assisted in their confidence in assimilating back into the world, she came across the term “Onco-Aesthetics” which broadly means to improve the psychological well-being of cancer patients by addressing their attitude towards their psychophysical care.

Juliana hopes to be of service to those who may need some assistance in improving their confidence in their road to recovery.
