Sylvie Meis continues to grapple with daily cancer concerns. - Sylvie Meis Constantly Ponders Over Daily Cancer Concerns
Dutch Moderator Sylvie Meis shares her battle with breast cancer in a recent podcast interview. She recalled the moment back in 2009 when she felt a lump in her breast, likening it to an earthquake.
Meis, who publicly announced her breast cancer diagnosis in June 2009, underwent surgery to remove the tumor followed by chemotherapy. Her hair loss was a poignant side effect of her treatment.
In an interview with Playboy magazine, Meis recounted a significant moment in her TV career - the first time she appeared on the RTL dance show "Let's Dance" post-treatment without a wig, revealing her short hair to the public. She co-hosted the show with Daniel Hartwich from 2011 to 2017.
Her marriage to former footballer Rafael van der Vaart ended sensationally in 2013, but they are now "good friends," Meis revealed in the podcast.
Sylvie Meis, a breast cancer survivor, uses her social media platforms to advocate for breast cancer awareness, encouraging continuous conversations about the disease beyond fixed timelines. Despite not finding current information about her involvement in "Let's Dance" or her relationship with Rafael van der Vaart in the available sources, her public presence and breast cancer advocacy suggest she has moved through significant phases of coping and healing.
- Sylvie Meis, having survived breast cancer, recognizes the importance of mental health and shares that she's not going to be able to do justice to the vastness of health-and-wellness issues, including mental health and women's health.
- In her journey, Meis has delved into various aspects of science, specifically medical-conditions, as she fought her own battle against cancer, understanding the impact of treatments on one's health and well-being.
- During her advocacy for breast cancer awareness, Meis has demonstrated great courage by publicly discussing her experience, even addressing sensitive topics like the side effects of cancer treatments such as hair loss, which she experienced during her battle against cancer.
