<\/div>[vc_column_text]Jelle is a true optimist. Even though he\u2019s been through a lot of bad times, he always thinks about the good things in life. It all started on a trip to Vietnam, which he had been looking forward to for a long time. He had to cut his holiday short halfway through due to increasingly severe back pain.<\/p>\n

His GP thought it was a hernia. After two weeks of bed rest, he was still suffering and was sent to hospital for a scan. It turned out he had a very rare brain tumour. \u2018But it was in my lower back. It is a kind of tumour that you are born with or you can get at a very young age. It sinks down into your back very gradually.\u2019[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row padding_top_multiplier=”2x”][vc_column width=”1\/5″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/5″]

\u2018I have never been the same since\u2019<\/span><\/h3>[vc_column_text]As the tumor was attached to nervous tissue around his spinal column, it could not be completely removed by surgery. Jelle therefore underwent thirty rounds of radiotherapy. A long rehabilitation process followed, which involved learning to walk again. \u2018I have never been the same since. My leg is numb. I used to be really into my sports, but now I can\u2019t sit, stand or walk for long periods.\u2019<\/p>\n

Jelle still embraced life as much as possible. \u2018I started studying through a customized program and I was allocated a room at the university of applied sciences where I could rest in between classes.\u2019<\/p>\n

However, five years ago, Jelle developed strange symptoms that got progressively worse. \u2018At one point, my arm completely swelled up. For a while I thought it was caused by exercise, but it turned out to be thrombosis in my shoulder.\u2019<\/p>\n

Alarmed by the location of the swelling, a neurologist decided to investigate. He discovered a lymphoma in Jelle’s chest. Shortly afterwards, he received the diagnosis of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. \u2018It was a huge shock,\u2019 he says, continuing dryly: \u2018Shortly afterwards, I was also told I have a hereditary breast cancer gene. It is obvious that there\u2019s something wrong with my body, but all these things were actually separate issues.\u2019[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>

Extremely tired<\/span><\/h3>[vc_column_text]Jelle was in and out of hospital for six months for chemotherapy treatment. He had to stop studying, and he could no longer run his webshop through which he sold organic plants.<\/p>\n

\u2018At the hospital you are told about cancer-related fatigue. But you have no idea how bad it will get,\u2019 he says. \u2018Right after the chemo, I was extremely tired. I had to drag myself outside \u2013 even for a short walk. Or, when things were going well, the fatigue would suddenly hit me and I would have to stop what I was doing. I had to lie down straight away.\u2019<\/p>\n

One day, he happened to walk past the Untire office. \u2018It was near my house. It immediately caught my attention.\u2019 Soon enough, he started using the app all the time. \u2018At the beginning, the app definitely helped with recognizing and acknowledging my problems,\u2019 he says. \u2018And I discovered that I wasn\u2019t alone in how I was feeling.\u2019[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>

\u2018Thanks to Untire, I\u2019m dealing with it much better now\u2019<\/span><\/h3>[vc_column_text]Jelle enjoyed reading the app\u2019s \u2018tip of the day\u2019 each morning. The app also helped him think about what he needed and what he felt like doing each day. \u2018There are lots of things you do actually know already, but it’s good to actively think about them. It\u2019s also good to reflect on your own behavior and energy level. I soon became much more aware of the things that gave me energy and the things that used up my energy.\u2019<\/p>\n

By now, Jelle was fed up with sitting around at home. He took the plunge and arranged a work experience position with Untire. \u2018That also helped me a huge amount. If there’s one place where people understand what cancer fatigue is like, it’s there. It means that I can go home for a rest at lunchtime.\u2019<\/p>\n

Jelle has now learned to accept that his back problems are not going to go away. \u2018But my fatigue is better. Thanks to Untire, I\u2019m dealing with it much better now. I’m very happy with how things are going.\u2019[\/vc_column_text]
