Philippa’s personal connection to neuroendocrine cancer (Neuroendocrine Cancer) stems from her role as a carer for her late mother, Jules, who battled stage 4 Neuroendocrine Cancer with extraordinary courage. Supporting her mother through surgeries, PRRT treatments, and medical reviews, Philippa witnessed firsthand the challenges of navigating this rare cancer, particularly in regional areas like Tasmania. This experience inspired her to become involved with NeuroEndocrine Cancer Australia as a Consumer Advisory Group (CAG) representative, where she drew on her advocacy skills and desire to honour her mother’s legacy. Now, as a Board Member, Philippa is committed to using her professional expertise and personal insights to advance NECA’s mission, ensuring that Neuroendocrine Cancer patients and carers across Australia receive the support, awareness, and resources they need.
