Sylvie Meis Continually Pondering Daily Regards to Cancer - Everyday Reflections of Sylvie Meis: Confronting Cancer
Dutch moderator Sylvie Meis was struck with terror 16 years ago when she discovered a lump in her breast, a moment she describes as an "earthquake". In a recent episode of the "Bild" podcast "May Way", Meis revealed this painful Memory. In 2009, she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Meis reflects that she thinks about the cancer every day and expresses her gratitude for surviving the intense ordeal. She believes it has shaped her into the woman she is today. In June 2009, Meis publicly announced her breast cancer diagnosis, and the tumor was surgically removed, followed by chemotherapy treatments that caused her hair to fall out.
Later that year, Meis participated in the RTL dance show "Let's Dance". One of the most memorable moments of her career came when she took off her wig on the show and revealed her short hair to the public for the first time after her cancer treatment. She later co-hosted the show with Daniel Hartwich from 2011 to 2017.
Before gaining fame as a moderator, Meis was known as the wife of former footballer Rafael van der Vaart. They were married from 2005 to 2013 and have a son together. Despite the sensationally abrupt divorce, Meis now refers to her ex-husband as a "good friend".
Today, Meis actively advocates for breast cancer awareness and openly acknowledges her status as a survivor. On her Instagram, she identifies as a "#BreastCancerSurvivor." Meis continues to engage in discussions about breast cancer, emphasizing its importance beyond awareness months or specific timelines.
