Jan Tinkler
- Unknown primary
It's almost two years now since I was given the diagnosis of Neuroendocrine cancer
Linda, TAS & NSW

The Doctor mentioned I should start studying as he was very confident of what the diagnosis would be and told me it was very rare and many doctors would not understand or would not have seen it. This was the best advice I ever received.
Peter, ACT

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.
