A Ray of Hope for NET Patients in Tasmania: Promising Commitment by Shadow Minister for Health Anita Dow and Member for Bass, Janie Finlay

Living with a rare and often misunderstood condition like Neuroendocrine Tumors (NET) can be an incredibly challenging journey.

Patients in Tasmania have faced unique struggles in accessing specialized care and support for their NET diagnoses and have been advocating for a dedicated NET nurse for Tasmania.

However, there is now a glimmer of hope on the horizon, thanks to the unwavering commitment of Shadow Minister for Health, Anita Dow, and Member for Bass, Janie Finlay. In a recent development, these dedicated politicians have pledged to fund a NET Cancer Nurse in Tasmania for three years if they win the next election. This announcement brings a new ray of hope to NET patients in the region.
