My Nonprofit Reviews

I was diagnosed in 2008 and had surgery in January of 2009. While recovering from surgery I looked up Carcinoid and found CCAN (now NCAN) and called the 800 number. The next day, I received a large package with all sorts of information about this rare cancer and its treatment.

I was also invited to the support group meetings, which where coincidentally held in my home town. Over the years I have stayed with this support group and attended many conferences run by NCAN. This enabled me to learn about my condition and anticipate future needs and treatment options before my condition warranted it. I especially love that the conferences are targeted to doctors as well as patients and they bring in the top doctors in the field to present the latest information so that patients and their physicians can understand what is different about this cancer and how it is treated.

I also must mention that Bob and Maryann Wahmann, who tirelessly run the organization are the warmest, most amazing people I have met. Whether friend or stranger, they will go to great lengths to make sure that each patient/client receives exactly the help that they need.
