I Am A Patient

Being diagnosed with cancer can be a very scary and confronting experience.

Being diagnosed with neuroendocrine (sometimes called NETs or Carcinoid) cancer, can be even more confusing and daunting due to the lack of information and resources readily available.

Therefore one of the main aims of NeuroEndocrine Cancer Australia is to provide easy to understand information, as well as support for those affected by NETs, by allowing them to connect with others who have been through similar experiences through a variety of means.
