Together against cancer: events for those affected in Paderborn!

The St. Vincenz clinics set an important sign of the support of cancer and their relatives with the series of events "Going together-the trip with cancer". This initiative aims to convey information and create a room for exchange. As vincenz.de , the series begins with a breakfast on Tuesday, May 6, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Paderborn. Lectures are given to the correct nutrition in cancer, held by senior physician Dr. Ute Wolfert and dietician Silke Stoellger.

The breakfast should not only convey information, but also serve as a platform for the exchange among those affected. A balanced diet is particularly important for cancer. In particular, it is important to assess the individual nutritional status of the patient, since many people with cancer can often not correctly assess their malnutrition, as is also emphasized Krebs.de

other events in focus

In addition, the second event will offer a special experience: On Friday, June 6, 2025, an alpaca hike invites you to enjoy and relax from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. The meeting point is at the Alpacas from Ellertal, Grundweg 89 in Dahl. This guided hike is made by psycho -oncologist Nicole Klopp and senior physician Dr. Ute Wolfert accompanied and includes a picnic. However, participants should bring weather -appropriate clothing.

The end of the series of events is a cinema evening on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, from 3:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. in the Pollux cinema in Paderborn. The aim of this event is the exchange and the common gathering, whereby the film is still being announced.

participation and information offer

Participation in all events is free of charge, but prior registration is required. Interested parties can register by email to GeneralChirurgie@vincenz.de or by phone at 05251-86 1451. This valuable series of events is made possible by a donation of a former patient and offers an excellent opportunity to find out about your own handling of the disease.

Another aspect that is important for cancer patients is the health and nutritional condition. A thorough medical history is important to correctly assess the nutritional status, which must not be neglected in the treatment of cancer patients. Doctors should not only take into account the BMI and weight development, but also query symptoms such as diarrhea or vomiting in order to plan individual nutritional therapies.

Overall, the initiative of the St. Vincenz clinics shows how important it is not only to offer medical but also psychosocial support for cancer and their relatives. This is especially true in times when the challenges of the disease can become overwhelming.
