French entrepreneurs develop specialized support for cancer patients

In France, new professional approaches are emerging to support individuals navigating cancer diagnoses and treatments.

Chrystelle Douheret has launched Mam’Ange, a micro-enterprise focused on patient partnership in oncology. After surviving two bouts of breast cancer, Douheret earned a university diploma from the Sorbonne to transform her personal experience into professional expertise. Her mission involves accompanying patients at home, within healthcare facilities, or remotely to reduce isolation and support their families throughout the care process.

In L'Aigle, wellness entrepreneur Marjorie Besnard is expanding her institute's services to include onco-esthetics. After observing that standard head spa treatments were unsuitable for some clients with breast cancer, Besnard is undergoing specialized training. This approach aims to provide adapted beauty and wellness care specifically designed for cancer patients, the elderly, and those in end-of-life care.
