golden statues 2014 - tlc for youth and families affected by cancer
DESCRIPTION
CANSA TLC (Tough Living with Cancer) is a programme for children and teens diagnosed with cancer or affected by cancer (a family member has cancer). Support is provided to the family as a whole in both scenarios. No child or family should have to face cancer on their own. Our TLC programme is dedicated to providing tangible love, care and support to children and families affected by cancer. CANSA’s TLC focuses on awareness of childhood cancers and early detection. It is estimated that at least half of all children with cancer in South Africa are never diagnosed. This is due to a lack of knowledge regarding the disease amongst children and as a result many children are diagnosed too late, when the cancer is already in an advanced stage, thus diminishing the possibility of successful treatment.
