NETS has hugely impacted my life…going from a full and hectic life, of designing objects and exhibiting our art installation works and jewellery, everything had to stop so I could just focus one day at a time.
Rectal Neuroendocrine Cancer
Overview
These Neuroendocrine Cancers are often found ‘by accident’ such as during an endoscopy. Patients may present with symptoms such as rectal bleeding or change in bowel habit, but often have no symptoms. If it doesn’t cause symptoms, the cancer may spread before it is found.
