Review for Neuroendocrine Cancer Awareness Network Inc, Fort Mill, SC, USA
NCAN has been a lifesaver for me by educating me about my rare cancer and its treatments. Cancer is scary enough but I feel empowered by the knowledge that I have gained to have an informed conversation with the many doctors who treat me and the new treatments they offer. I am amazed at the high quality programs that they offer to patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers with minimal costs to participate. I am also deeply thankful for the many friends I have met through NCAN.
Review for Neuroendocrine Cancer Awareness Network Inc, Fort Mill, SC, USA
I learned about CCAN after having surgery for a pulmonary carcinoid and have found them to be of enormous help in understanding the nature of my disease.
- Upon my first contact, I was greeted warmly and had many questions answered, including contacts of people willing to speak to me about their experience with this rare disease. I also received a large package with all types of information.
-Meetings are well focused and very informative.
-CCAN hosts a variety of conferences and other events that bring the top physicians in the field to educate patients and support people on the latest developments and answer questions.
- The management team at CCAN is very dynamic and is a major force in raising awareness about this rare disease at all levels.
