Greg’s symptoms were fatigue and diarrhoea.
Do you know the symptoms of neuroendocrine cancer?
I encourage everyone to share their story—on the NeuroEndocrine Cancer Australia website and within their own communities—so that NETs is recognised and diagnosed earlier. I also encourage fundraising for NeuroEndocrine Cancer Australia if possible.
I have worked in healthcare my entire life I had never heard of NETs until my diagnosis and I’m pretty sure none of the doctors I had seen in the lead up to diagnosis knew about it either.
I have four beautiful daughters, I’m a solo mum, they are my favourite part of life. I’ve been diagnosed with Neuroendocrine Cancer stage 4. I remember feeling a lump on my hard pallet, I remember the moment the Dr said “I’m really sorry, but it’s cancerous”.
I know that if there was more understanding of the disease and its effects my experience wouldn’t have been so isolating. The lack of knowledge within the medical profession was really shocking to me, as was the lack of information and support offered after diagnosis.
