Patient Stories
Every neuroendocrine cancer story is unique.
Here, people with neuroendocrine cancer and their families have shared their personal stories, offering insight, strength and hope to others navigating life with neuroendocrine cancer. Through sharing these experiences the importance of awareness is highlighted, along with the need for early diagnosis, the importance of understanding the disease, advocacy and enabling support throughout every stage of the neuroendocrine cancer diagnosis.

My name is Ali and I live in rural/remote SA. Surgeons discovered I had NETs when they were operating on my re-occurring bowel cancer in 2017. A PET scan followed and they found an inoperable NET tumour in my small bowel (primary is unknown).

I know that I don’t have all the knowledge or tools in my kit to win the mental game by myself, so my family and I reach out to the amazing, experienced resources that are available at NeuroEndocrine Cancer Australia. It really helps to have someone that can validate how I am feeling or explain the processes and cycles that I will go through.

Share your story, you never know what you may learn, or what a difference you can make in someone else’s day. Above all be kind to yourself.
