Caroline Gasia: [00:00:00] This podcast project is an initiative created and offered by the non-profit organisation “The Podcast Factory Org”, with sponsorship from “transforma bxl – Innovation Playground”. Since January 2025 and for the next five years, we are also sponsored by “Plugin Company”, our preferred charging station and card operator. “The Podcast Factory Org” is very proud to be a member of “KAYA” Coalition of Ecopreneurs, and to collaborate with the “Love Health Center”. You can find all episodes of all our podcasts on the website “What’s Your Story dot be”.
Jingle : [00:00:39] Search for radio frequency (old radio mode: crackles), a channel is picked up and the sound stabilizes: “You’r listening The Podcast Factory Org”
Caroline Gasia: [00:00:41] Today we’re bringing you a very special episode because, as we’ve done every year for the past two years, we’re joining the “Podcasthon” movement. So, what is “Podcasthon”? For seven days, thousands of podcasters will unite for a global charity event: between the 15th and the 21st of March 2025, each podcaster will dedicate an episode to a charity on their podcast channel, to highlight the incredible work of people who often volunteer in the shadows, contributing tirelessly to society for various causes. They truly deserve to be celebrated. This podcast, above all, and don’t forget this listeners, is a call to action for donations, for this project it’s absolutely crucial. I stress again, this is a call for donation, they really need your support, and you’ll see that today’s discussion is more than worthy of your contributions because it concerns everyone. This podcast is being offered in English and French. We are today in the offices of “transforma bxl”, I have Francoise Vamecq at my mic, and we will talk about “Oncia” Foundation today. Hi, welcome Francoise.
Francoise Vamecq: [00:01:53] Thank you. And I really would like first to warmly welcome “The Podcast Factory Org” to invite me to present “Oncia Community”.
Caroline Gasia: [00:02:02] Let’s begin with our classic question Francoise, from your teenage dream to today, what have you realized?
Francoise Vamecq: [00:02:09] My aims when I was teenagers, was to be an explorer in order to meet other countries, to meet other cultures, to meet diversity. And what I realized today, I guess I travel a lot in order, in fact, to open my mind to meet these other cultures. And today it’s not other cultures, is more focusing on people who are in stress, it’s another kind of purpose, but somewhere similar. So today my aim is really to help people having cancer.
Caroline Gasia: [00:02:43] And what is your role precisely today?
Francoise Vamecq: [00:02:45] I’m the co-founder of “Oncia Community” and I’m managing director.
Caroline Gasia: [00:02:50] Can you tell a bit more about “Oncia” Foundation?
Francoise Vamecq: [00:02:53] Yes, I could tell you about “Oncia Community”. So, “Oncia Community” is a public utility foundation engaged to take care of people affected by the cancer along the entire pathway (Caroline Gasia: Okay). So, not only the patients, but also the families and the loved ones, all affected by this cancer. Maybe what I can do before talking about “Oncia Community” is to start with a flashback, sharing with you some personal experiences, which is at the heart of this foundation. So, I can say that I have a wonderful life, I have a very nice family, husband, three kids, I’m really passionate by my job, the life was wonderful, until 2017… So, at that time, my life flipped upside down. So, I remember well, it was the 21st of March, I was in my bathroom, looking at the mirror, and I see something suspect. It was not the first time, but I was not really stressed, I was in a denial a little bit because I was feeling not sick, i was in the best of my shape. I was just coming back from India, Ladakh, where we did our first 5000 peak in the mountains with my three kids and my husband, and yes…
Caroline Gasia: [00:04:20] Everything went well, and then…
Francoise Vamecq: [00:04:22] And then! And then, I realized that I was caught up by the statistics, and in fact, that Belgium has the most record of breast cancers, the worst records of breast cancer. So, I would like to ask you maybe a question to you, and to the auditors, have you an idea of the number of persons who will be touched by the cancer during their lifetime.
Caroline Gasia: [00:04:53] Cancers or breast cancer?
Francoise Vamecq: [00:04:54] Cancer, cancer, more global…
Caroline Gasia: [00:04:56] Oh my god, I think it’s a huge amount of people!
Francoise Vamecq: [00:04:58] So, one out of two, out of three?
Caroline Gasia: [00:05:02] I would dare to say one out of three?
Francoise Vamecq: [00:05:04] And you are very close. So, it’s one out of two for men, and one out of three for women. And it’s mainly for men: prostate cancer, lung cancer and colorectal cancer. And for women: breast, lung and colorectal cancer.
Caroline Gasia: [00:05:25] Lung cancer as well?
Francoise Vamecq: [00:05:26] Yes. And this is more about behaviour, change in your behaviours, and also the ageing. But what we see is that more and more there are younger people having cancer. For instance, the daughter of my friend, 25 years, with a very aggressive breast cancers, it’s horrible (Caroline Gasia: Yeah), horrible. So, we are all concerned by the cancers, and it will knock at our door (Caroline Gasia: One time or the other), one time or the other. Maybe not personally, but indirectly with your loved one, friends, colleagues, neighbours…
Caroline Gasia: [00:06:03] It’s true, because when I was a little girl, cancer was a faraway story. I didn’t know anyone with cancer in my family, my friends. We didn’t… It was far away from us. And now: my mother has cancer, my auntie has cancer, my grandfather died of cancer. So, it’s like coming closer and closer and it’s horrifying. It’s scaring, yeah.
Francoise Vamecq: [00:06:24] So, you know, it’s very scary. And there is much talk about medical advancements and research progress, and it’s very great. So, on the other side, they give us the hope to cure or, at least, extend the life.
Caroline Gasia: [00:06:41] The life.
Francoise Vamecq: [00:06:42] And yes, it brings a lot of hope. But today I want to highlight the fact that there are also another side of the cancer, the hidden part of the cancers. So, what I would like to talk today is the life beyond the disease, beyond the cancer. And people sometimes do not realise that cancer is not only undergoing heavy treatments, it’s much more than that.
Caroline Gasia: [00:07:09] There is a psychological effect as well, I think hein?
Francoise Vamecq: [00:07:12] Yeah. So, at that time of my diagnosis, I was fully lost, my life flips upside down. So, for the first time of my life, I was afraid of dying.
Caroline Gasia: [00:07:23] That’s the first thing that comes up in our minds when we hear cancer, yeah, yeah.
Francoise Vamecq: [00:07:27] It was so scary. At the hospital, I tried to find the best options of treatment. I tried to understand the world, the medical world, but I could not understand anything. I googling on internet, it was horrible, and I come to realize that I have to sacrifice a part of my quality of life to fight against this disease with freely insidious and very silencious, and yes, I was fully lost. At home, I was fully lost as well, I was waiting for medical results, it was really stressed. I have pain, I was overwhelmed consumed by overwhelm anxiety, stress. I’m a mother, I have three kids, how can I take care of my kids? How to regain a self image? How you got surgery in the deepest way of your feminity and, yes, it was… My friends, they do not know how to react and so you isolate. I was socialize isolated, and also my house was a chaos. A lot of paper, administrative papers, there was no sense for me, but could also impact People with a financial burden (Caroline Gasia: Exactly). So, I really need education, I really need information, I really need support, compassionate support. And at that time (Caroline Gasia: Compassionate, yeah) I couldn’t find any, and that’s a real problem.
Caroline Gasia: [00:09:04] And in the hospitals, weren’t you visited by someone who could help you with that?
Francoise Vamecq: [00:09:07] So, I can say that I was really lucky because I have my family around me, at the hospital I have a very trusty oncologist, and that’s really important, who helped me. And also, I went to “La Vie-Là”. “La Vie Là” is a house, an integrative health centres in Belgium, close to the hospital Saint-Pierre in Ottignies. And we organised with my company, for several years, a rock against cancer in favour of “La Vie Là”. I knew “La Vie-Là” by word, i didn’t know really what they are doing.
Caroline Gasia: [00:09:41] Okay, because “La Vie Là”, we can hear the word “villa”, the house, but it’s the same in French to say “La vie là”, this life here.
Francoise Vamecq: [00:09:52] Yeah. That’s correct.
Caroline Gasia: [00:09:53] Good. I didn’t knew it before today: “La Vie Là”. So, I’m very curious to hear how they helped you.
Francoise Vamecq: [00:09:59] And I didn’t know as well. But when I pass through the door of “La Vie Là”, it was the “wow” effect. You enter into a compassionate, a very safe space, where everybody is there to help you to take care of you. I can do massage to reduce my pain, I can do acupuncture, I can do mindfulness in order also to cope with my stress, I can go with my kids to see a coach, a psychological coach, in order to understand how to take care of them. I could regain my self-image, I could retrieve social links, with other patients. And it was a community, it was very, very great. And a lot of other therapies I cannot mention here, but is really very huge programs in order to address all the needs of the patients (Caroline Gasia: Okay). And I start again to laugh.
Caroline Gasia: [00:10:58] Thanks to “La Vie Là”?
Francoise Vamecq: [00:11:00] Thanks to “La Vie Là”, and it was really helpful.
Caroline Gasia: [00:11:02] It gives hope maybe!
Francoise Vamecq: [00:11:04] Yeah! But, who knows “La Vie Là”, as you mentioned, is very rare, there are small initiatives like that. And I can ask you the question: “Do you know, before I talk to you, La Vie Là or such (Caroline Gasia: No) houses in Belgium or (Caroline Gasia: No) overseas?”
Caroline Gasia: [00:11:21] Not at all. And I’m wondering who is helping my mother, or my auntie, right now with all those side effects of cancer? No, I didn’t know it.
Francoise Vamecq: [00:11:30] If you have a normal person, navigating in this unknown world…
Caroline Gasia: [00:11:35] Medical world.
Francoise Vamecq: [00:11:36] Is so. Of course, in Belgium you will benefit of a treatment, that’s okay. But on the other side, who will take care of you? So, if you have some stress, some pain, you can go to your general practitioners… But on my experience, is that my general practitioners prescribe me medicines against stress, and it was not really helpful. And so people can go to their oncologist to talk about their pain, stress. But you have to know that a consultation of an oncologist, in average, takes about 20 minutes, and they will interrupt you after a few seconds. So, how to deposit all your emotions? It’s impossible. And so you can go to “La Vie Là”. But, as we mentioned, nobody knows “La Vie Là”. Even the citizens, the oncologists, the patients, nobody knows this initiative, they are very rare, they are very local. It’s all generally support by a local initiative, with no subvention from the public sectors, and that’s a real problem. You can agree with me, that’s a real problem. And that’s the origin of the foundation.
Caroline Gasia: [00:12:47] Yeah! So, the foundation that you represent today: helps “La Via Là”, in other initiatives, to become more known?
Francoise Vamecq: [00:12:54] Yes. So, the goal is really to act global. So, in the international landscape and to ensure that every patient, every people affected by cancer can benefit from a comprehensive and a patient centric care along their pathway.
Caroline Gasia: [00:13:17] It’s a very beautiful initiative.
Francoise Vamecq: [00:13:19] So, there are really a lack of centres and this is a real problem, you must agree with me. We must rethink the cancer, and the goal is not just addressing the disease with medicines or technical protocols, but also address the person behind in all the dimensions of health, physical support, emotional support, social support, is really important! And there are more and more clinical evidences showing that addressing these aspects of health can help the patients and have a real positive impact, meaning that reducing side effects, improving the tolerance of treatments, because it’s really heavy treatments and some people abandon the treatments because he’s very heavy, but also practically, concretely, reducing the recurrence of the cancer. So, it’s very crucial, beyond technological or medical progresses. Also to, as I said, humanizing cancer care.
Caroline Gasia: [00:14:26] We too often forget about that aspect.
Francoise Vamecq: [00:14:28] So, what we are doing at “Oncia Community”? “Oncia Community” works in two ways, the first one is to raising awareness of the positive impact of having this compassionate care, what we call also integrative oncology. So, have a global approach of the care. And so for that we are consolidating all the publications, we are bridging the gap between the expert and the global community in order to promote this kind of care. And more practically, what we are doing as well, in the second step, is to help hospitals, leading hospital, to create this kind of centres, close to the hospital in order to have this type of care affordable for all the patients. So, today we have a lot of concrete projects, so we are supporting centres like “La Vie Là”, not only in Belgium, but also in Spain, but also in the UK. We are exploring in US as well, in France, it’s very inspiring.
Caroline Gasia: [00:15:42] I’m very impressed. Okay, so you are the managing director of “Oncia” Foundation. Can you explain a bit more about what is your day to day task? What are you doing exactly? So, you’re making the bridge between the hospitals and the different initiatives, but what else?
Francoise Vamecq: [00:15:59] So, I do not do that alone. In fact, I realized that, during your life, you plant some seeds and one day it’s the time to collect the fruit of your life. I work at “IBA”. “IBA” is a company who manufactures equipment to treat and to diagnosis cancer, and I was part in business development, I have a huge network in oncology. I decided to go to the office of my CEO, Olivier Lagrange, from “IBA”, and I tell him what I tell you today, and it was fully convinced: beyond technology and medical practices, we have also to take care of the patients and to humanise cancer care. And we have this large network of oncologists, we have this large network of partners, we have our spirit of entrepreneurial spirit, and we have our patients for societal engagement. And so together with “IBA”, but also with partners, we could maximise the impact in order to touch more patients. So, for instance, this year we touch about more than hundreds of patients, worldwide. But our ambition is to think big, and to touch up to 10,000 patients by 2030, by helping hospitals (Caroline Gasia: Okay) to create this kind of centres.
Caroline Gasia: [00:17:25] You have contacts with all the hospitals in Belgium?
Francoise Vamecq: [00:17:27] We have contacts with hospitals in Belgium, but we have also contact with hospitals in Spain, as I mentioned, in France (Caroline Gasia: Okay) and in other countries, and we are working very closely with the associations (Caroline Gasia: Okay). And our goal is really not reinventing the wheel, but to benefit from the expertise of a global expert network in integrative oncology. As I mentioned, we bridge the gap and we organise, for instance: webinars, we organise visits in order to help people to faster implement in minimising the risk and to foster the set up of this kind of centres. What we propose to the hospital, I would say, is the best model of support we can see around the world, and so we focus on a very large program of activities: with mindfulness, physical activities, acupuncture, hypnosis, music therapy, written driven therapy, art therapy, nutrition and so on. And so we help associations and hospitals to implement this kind of program. And we always focus on evidence based activities. So, to have the real impact for the patient, that’s the first thing. The second thing is that we are fully convinced that the beauty, and the connection with the nature, is really essential for the health. And what we would like to develop is: a safe space, a facility close to the hospital, but outside, separate of the hospital. So, with an easy access for the patients to go there. But to have this break of the clinical environment, and to enter into a compassionate environment, a safe environment, outside this clinical environment, and that’s really our focus. So, we partners with Maggie’s. Maggie’s is a large network in UK with 30 centres. So, they have a very huge experience and they help us. We are ambassadors of Maggie worldwide in order to inspire people to create this kind of environment for the patients, and for the family. So, in this facility, you could welcome the patients, but also the families. This type of facility is also focussed to retrieve social links with a big kitchen, with a table, it’s a mix of room, large room, to reconnect, but also small…
Caroline Gasia: [00:20:02] Do something together or… Yeah!
Francoise Vamecq: [00:20:03] Yeah, and… But also small room, where you could have a rest, or isolate yourself if you need it.
Caroline Gasia: [00:20:10] in function of the need!
Francoise Vamecq: [00:20:11] Is really to cope with the needs of the moment.
Caroline Gasia: [00:20:14] And so you exist since 2017, or what is the year that you started with?
Francoise Vamecq: [00:20:18] The launch of the foundation was in February last year, so we worked a little bit before in order to think about what could be (Caroline Gasia: To prepare) the vision. And to prepare yourself (Caroline Gasia: Okay). But the official launch was in February 24th, yeah.
Caroline Gasia: [00:20:32] Ok. And so, if I’m a patient and the oncologist tells me I have cancer, how can I come in contact with you? Or how can I get that help? Someone going to tell me that “La Vie Là” or any foundation exists? How does it work?
Francoise Vamecq: [00:20:49] So today we are supporting and we are creating new centres. So, we are supporting patients through association and through hospitals (Caroline Gasia: Ok). So, if you are a patient, you could always contact us in order to know what is the centres close to you, in order to benefit from this care. The real problem is that today, there are not enough centres, they are very rare. So, what we are trying to do is really to expand and to support the growth of these centres in partnership with hospitals and with associations who are involved in that field.
Caroline Gasia: [00:21:30] But it’s the hospital that will inform me that this exists?
Francoise Vamecq: [00:21:34] Usually, the referral is from the hospital, but if a patient needs to know where is the centre close to him, he could always contact us. We will be more than happy to find the right structures to help him.
Caroline Gasia: [00:21:49] And where can they contact you? Can you give us maybe the website?
Francoise Vamecq: [00:21:53] So you can go to our website: Oncia community.org, and so there are the all the contact.
Caroline Gasia: [00:21:59] So we go to the site and there we can contact you to get help on the human side behind the cancer (Francoise Vamecq: Yeah) okay. Very good.
Francoise Vamecq: [00:22:07] And the patient can contact us, but also hospitals, leading hospitals, and associations, in order to ex or industrial partners. Everybody would like to help us to maximise the impact. So, join forces to maximise the impact.
Caroline Gasia: [00:22:23] Okay. What can we do to help you get the word out there.
Francoise Vamecq: [00:22:28] The first thing you can do, an easy part you can do, is to become our ambassador. So, raise awareness about the lack of this kind of centres, and how it is important to develop this kind of centres.
Caroline Gasia: [00:22:42] How can we do that?
Francoise Vamecq: [00:22:43] So, you can talk around you, you can inform, just talk around you, or what you can do as well: is going to our LinkedIn, on social media, and like our post and be informed of the events and all the activities we are doing. But what we would like to do is, as I mentioned, be our ambassadors.
Caroline Gasia: [00:23:06] Spread the word out there, share, like, posts, (Francoise Vamecq: Yeah) talk about it (Francoise Vamecq: Yeah) when you hear someone has cancer, mention that it exists, yeah, so…
Francoise Vamecq: [00:23:15] It’s really important that we raise awareness about the importance of such activity. As we mentioned, we will all face cancer one day or another.
Caroline Gasia: [00:23:27] If not “we”, it’s someone we know.
Francoise Vamecq: [00:23:29] Yeah. So it’s really important.
Caroline Gasia: [00:23:32] To be informed, that it exists.
Francoise Vamecq: [00:23:33] Informed and to raise awareness of the importance of such centres and of such a care.
Caroline Gasia: [00:23:41] So I have a clear call to action to all the listeners of this podcast, like “Oncia Community” dot org, go to their LinkedIn page: like, share, everything you can, because it’s a very, very important initiative. So, a clear, clear call to action to all our listeners. And then we have another aspect: how does the funding work?
Francoise Vamecq: [00:24:03] Today we are really lucky because we have the chance that “IBA” is supporting all the operating costs of “Oncia Community”, meaning that €1 you will donate will be fully.
Caroline Gasia: [00:24:15] Used.
Francoise Vamecq: [00:24:15] Used, to care patients. So, for the mission. And, as I mentioned today, there are no subvention for the public (Caroline Gasia: Nothing?), for the public sector’s, nothing. And what I did not mention, you have to know that these centres give the care free of charge for the patients (Caroline Gasia: Ouf, free?), yeah, entirely free. So, these centres are non-profit organisations, trying to look for funding in order to be able to give free of charge this type of care, non-reimbursed today, for the patients and for the families.
Caroline Gasia: [00:24:50] What can we do to help on that aspect? We can donate I suppose.
Francoise Vamecq: [00:24:54] Yeah. The main goal, I would say, is to support this organisation in order that they can provide the needed care to the patients.
Caroline Gasia: [00:25:03] So, I correct my call to action: there are two calls of action, to all the listeners out there. You can spread the word, but you can also donate, it’s a beautiful initiative that is very, very needed in this world. So, donate and share, and spread the word.
Francoise Vamecq: [00:25:18] And to give you some concrete numbers. So, for example, a care treatment is about 30 to €50, but the global pathways, because it’s not only one care, the global pathways cost about 500 to €1000, and this kind of centres can welcome, depending of the site of the centres, they can welcome about 200. In England it’s about 2000 patients a year. So, they really need funds in order to operate, to run, and to give the care to the patients. So, we really need your generosity and this generosity can really make the difference for the patients.
Caroline Gasia: [00:25:55] Yes, Maybe Francoise, I have another question for you: how did you find the name “Oncia” Community.
Francoise Vamecq: [00:26:02] We think about it for a very long time.
Caroline Gasia: [00:26:04] Okay.
Francoise Vamecq: [00:26:05] Okay. “Oncia” was because of oncology.
Caroline Gasia: [00:26:10] On, oncology?
Francoise Vamecq: [00:26:11] Oncology. And we put the “A”, “Oncia” in order to represent the soft part of the cancer (Caroline Gasia: Okay), that’s for Oncia. So, community is because we would like to create a community with all the stakeholders: association, hospitals, public sectors, patients.
Caroline Gasia: [00:26:31] Family of patients.
Francoise Vamecq: [00:26:32] Family of patients. For the mobilisation of a global movement to redefine, to reshape cancer care (Caroline Gasia: : Ok), is really important (Caroline Gasia: : Ok). So, if you would like to understand more about this soft part of cancer care, you can go to our webinar, on the Learn and Share page, and you can see webinars, you can see information, and you can find all you need in order to better understand what is integrative oncology.
