FCF has committed $631,164 to three projects addressing critical gaps in FA cancer research. The work spans different stages, from exploring oral gene therapy and screening drugs for FA-specific safety to analyzing clinical experiences that could inform future care. These projects are building the knowledge needed to pursue safer cancer options for people with FA.
Living with Fanconi anemia, or caring for someone with FA, brings ongoing uncertainty, complex medical experiences and emotional strain. These experiences affect more than physical health. They can also shape mental health, relationships, daily routines and a person’s sense of safety and connection. The Fanconi Cancer Foundation is pleased to introduce the Mental Health and Wellbeing Toolkit, a new resource offering practical tools and trusted guidance for people living with FA and those who care for them.
