HELLO & WELC
Welcome to the Neuroendocrine Cancer UK Patient Handbook, an interactive, practical toolkit for all those living with and affected by, neuroendocrine cancer. A diagnosis of cancer is one of the greatest challenges anyone can face. Being diagnosed with a rare or uncommon cancer, such as neuroendocrine cancer, can have additional consequences, not least in terms of awareness, early diagnosis and access to expertise. Feelings of isolation, fear, uncertainty and anxiety are not uncommon - especially when you are newly diagnosed.This toolkit has been written to provide you with information you may find helpful. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Faye Cheetham for her incredible fundraising in memory of her husband, Andrew. It is thanks to Faye and all those who donated and continue to support the charity, that this Handbook has been made possible. The handbook’s digital format will enable us to update the enclosed information for years to come, ensuring we can maintain an up-to-date expert and research informed resource for all affected by neuroendocrine cancer. We hope this handbook honours Andrew’s memory and serves as a lasting legacy - and acknowledgement - of his family’s incredible generosity and support. You can find Faye, and Andrew’s, candidly honest love story at the conclusion of SECTION 08.
