At the diagnosis

Your child was just diagnosed with cancer. This is a brutal and sudden shock for your entire family. You are looking for help, support, and reliable information.

Leucan is there to assist cancer-stricken children and their extended families through this ordeal.

A Leucan Family Agent will reach out to you shortly after your child’s diagnosis to explain the services available to you and guide you through the role played by the team of Leucan and your child’s healthcare team at the hospital.

How to access Leucan’s services?

Following your child’s diagnosis, your healthcare team at the pediatric oncology centre will put you in contact with Leucan.

If your child is treated at another hospital where Leucan is not readily available, we invite you to contact your Leucan regional office to inform us of your new status.
