Support for Children, Youth & Families Affected by Cancer
CANSA helps children / teens with cancer and their loved ones cope with their cancer diagnosis through support offered by CANSA TLC staff. Children whose parents have been diagnosed and siblings of of children / teens that have been diagnosed are also supported through our TLC services.
CANSA TLC also aims to educate communities about the symptoms or childhood / teen cancers to enable early detection and timeous treatment.
CANSA and CANSA TLC staff believe no child or family should have to face cancer on their own.
