How I Survive Cancer

I am fortunate to have a very supportive family and friends.  I have a caring oncologist and radiologist, with a great nursing staff that I very much appreciate.

I try to keep up with my online research and am willing to try whatever it takes to stay ahead of my disease.

My life is not just about cancer, so I try to keep life as normal as possible.
 

How I Fight for a Cure

I educate myself and get involved with organizations (such as Caring for Carcinoid Foundation) which work with patients and the medical community for a cure.
 

My Caring Words of Encouragement

Try to stay positive.  We control our feelings about carcinoid cancer.

We are the ones that the community is trying to help with that CURE.
