NET patient UK

Building towards a cure for Neuroendocrine Tumours and Cancers through Research, Education, Awareness and Support.

To raise the awareness of NeuroEndocrineTumours (NETs) among patients, the general public, and the medical and the research communities by:

(a) providing well-informed support on management and treatment options to all those involved with NETs; and

(b) supporting NET-directed research and better clinical management practices that will achieve an ultimate goal of early accurate diagnosis and best possible treatment for NET patients

Creating Awareness through the Media

Interviews with community newspapers allow us to educate the public to our disease. Here are two recent stories - one from a patient and one from a caregiver - on how carcinoid-NETs disease has impacted their lives and those of their loved ones.

Here are some recent articles that we have had in the local press after our conference in Vancouver.

The Articles in the Vancouver Sun and The Province are all about Jennifer Weiss and Julie Blue who participated in our conference.

On October 4th, Suzanne Stintson did a walk for CNETS. Here is an article that was recently printed in the Barrhaven Independant.

Morley Dore

The first interview was on September 4th by Morley Dore in Ottawa. Morley is a caregiver to his wife Barb who is a lung carcinoid patient. You can read Morley and Barb’s story here.

Here is the link to a second interview that was given in July by Joanne Ferguson who is also a lung carcinoid patient from Vernon BC.

We hope you enjoy reading these articles. They truly personalize the face of our disease. We will continue to look for opportunities to arrange interviews with the media and bring them to your attention.
