πŸŽ„ A Heartfelt Thank You to the Cancer Foundation League (CFL) πŸŽ„

The Louisiana Cancer Foundation would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the Cancer Foundation League for their continued generosity and unwavering commitment to our mission.

Because of CFL’s outstanding support, a portion of the 2025 donor proceeds will be shared as Christmas Gift Bags delivered to individuals who bravely fought cancer this year. These gifts are more than tokens β€” they are reminders of hope, love, and community.

May this heartfelt gesture help make Christmas a little merrier for all of us. ❀️🎁

Thank you, CFL, for bringing joy and comfort to those who need it most.

Our Story

One of the most effective tools in our extensive arsenal against cancer is radiation therapy. What is Radiation Therapy? Radiation Therapy is the use of ionizing radiation (high energy x-rays) to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Radiation Therapy injures or destroys cells in the area being treated (target) by damaging their genetic material, making it impossible for these cells to continue to grow and divide. Radiation can be used to destroy the entire tumor (curative) or to shrink the tumor and relieve painful symptoms (palliative). Approximately 50% of all people with cancer are treated with Radiation Therapy. The Institute's range of cancer care and support services and resources include: Radiation Oncology Tumor Board Conferences Tumor Registry (with lifetime patient follow-up counseling) Support Groups Hospice Referral Nutrition Support Social Work support and counseling Financial Counseling Community Screenings and Educational Programs
