Fibrolamellar Cancer Foundation
Fibrolamellar Cancer Foundation
In 2008, when Tucker Davis (age 26) was diagnosed with Fibrolamellar Hepatocellular Carcinoma (FHC), he founded the Fibrolamellar Cancer Foundation (FCF) with the hope of finding a cure for this often fatal disease. After a courageous eighteen month battle, Tucker passed away in early 2010. Because the incidence of FHC was so rare, little research had been conducted at that time. Through Tucker’s experience, we have helped change that.
His legacy lives on through the Foundation.
FCF's mission is threefold:
- Find a cure and treatment options
- Raise awareness of this disease
- Bring attention to teen and young adult cancers

"I know there is a cure out there and I hope we find it in my lifetime but if we don't... You have to find it!" - Tucker Davis
