Our Mission
Our mission is to help those with neuroendocrine tumors and carcinoid to share challenges and experiences, learn about prognosis and treatments, find information, and improve communications between the medical community, patients and caregivers.
By providing opportunities for our members to connect with others who have these rare illnesses we will enable them not only to get their questions answered but also to give and receive emotional support. In addition, we aspire to bring greater awareness to the medical community and the public so as to promote earlier detection and treatment of these often unrecognized illnesses.
NorCal CarciNET Care Team
Our Care Team is new. In late 2017, members at a support group meeting were discussing ways to help other members through times of change, crises, questioning, or serious illness. What follows is a brief outline of what we currently offer. We’re open to suggestions for more services, as well as for more folks to join the team. You must have attended a NorCal CarciNet support group meeting in order to be able to access the Care Team by email, through which all services and discussions are accessed.
