Having a family history of cancer, both mother and father, my own diagnosis of NETs probably shouldn’t have taken me by surprise but it did.

I have fully recovered from the surgery recovering and feeling terrific, and I hardly think about my NET. I am extremely grateful for the early diagnosis, that Australia invests in free bowel screening tests, and that we have excellent medical staff, facilities and treatments. I’m the happiest I have ever been in my life.

Through attending NET meetings at FSH I was made more aware of NETS and found friendship and understanding from all who attended plus I had found a ‘home’ where others understood. 

I have Neuroendocrine cancer. No one should feel alone and this is my #CancerKindness story.
