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.
