In 2004 my father was diagnosed with hodgkins lymphoma. Given 6 months to live. With chemotherapy and the services offered to him and my family, he went into remission. They at Cancer services were a great help, and even when Katrina and Gustave destroyed so much around us Daddy was still with us for one more year and so was Cancer Services of Greater Baton Rouge. As the end drew near and all he could tolerate and look forward to were shakes given to him from Cancer Services of Greater Baton Rouge there were other items he qualified for and received to keep his quality of life as good as possible till the end. Which on Friday October 13th, 2006 He went to His beloved home where he was no longer in any pain! Thank you Cancer Services of Greater Baton Rouge for making my Fathers final years on this earth as healthy as pleasant and as tolerable as possible. Even after his passing you checked in on myself my mother and my sister for awhile and told us you were there for us if we need your grief services or anything else you offered that would help us as a family even after my Fathers passing. I just can't say Thank You enough!!
