Trenna was only 46 when she felt the lump.

For five long months, Trenna made the drive from Outlook to Saskatoon for chemotherapy. Then came five weeks of daily radiation. Every single day, Trenna lay perfectly still while powerful beams targeted what cancer cells might remain.

For many cancer patients like Trenna, radiation therapy is a part of their cancer journey.  It’s a powerful tool that must be delivered with precision. Strong beams are aimed very carefully to treat the cancer while also protecting the healthy parts of the body.

To do this, patients have to be placed in the exact same position every time they receive treatment, sometimes over many days or weeks. Even very small movements – just a few millimetres – can mean that less treatment reaches the cancer, and patients could experience more side effects from radiation reaching their healthy organs.

Cancer patient immobilization equipment helps make sure every treatment is safe and accurate. When you give, you’re helping patients feel secure, protected, and cared for.

Immobilization equipment is used to gently support and hold each patient in the right place during radiation therapy. Soft masks, custom-shaped cushions, and body supports are created for each unique patient and position. This helps cancer patients stay comfortable and calm while ensuring that the radiation goes exactly where it’s needed.

Patient immobilization equipment is not a luxury. It is a necessary part of cancer care. Your donation makes sure every patient is supported, in every sense of the word.

Approximately 39,000 radiation therapy treatments are provided every year in Saskatchewan. Imagine the courage it takes to lie there, day after day, trusting the equipment. Equipment funded by donors like you.

When you give, you are there in that treatment room. Will you donate today to help deliver hope with accuracy and care?

Thanks to an anonymous friend of the Cancer Foundation of Saskatchewan, your donation will be DOUBLED! Make your gift today and it will be matched up to $50,000.
