Chantelle's Neuroendocrine Cancer Day Fundraiser

#LetsTalkAboutNETs

Help me raise awareness and vital funds on Neuroendocrine Cancer Day.

This Neuroendocrine Cancer Day, I’m hosting an event and raising vital funds to support NeuroEndocrine Cancer Australia (NECA) and the 29,350+ Australians living with neuroendocrine cancer, the 7th most commonly diagnosed cancer in the country.

NECA is Australia’s only not-for-profit medical charity dedicated to neuroendocrine tumours (NETs). Their work in providing patient support, raising awareness, advocating for new treatments, and funding Australian research is crucial.

By uniting with others on Neuroendocrine Cancer Day, we can make a significant impact on the lives of NET patients and contribute to a brighter future.

Join me in supporting my fundraiser for NeuroEndocrine Cancer Australia. Every contribution counts! On Neuroendocrine Cancer Day #LetsTalkAboutNETs

Our Dad

Saturday 1st Nov
Six months ago, our lives changed forever as our father was diagnosed with neuroendocrine cancer, and it had metastasized to other parts of the body. We were told that the cancer was non treatable and non-curable.
Neuroendocrine cancer can be also known as NETS or Carcinoid tumor. The symptoms that dad had was diarrhoea, fatigue, hot flushes, confusion and memory loss. These symptoms, how often would we just put them down as IBS or even menopause. Dad had been going to the doctor and mentioning these symptoms over the last 12 months. Unfortunately, it took being admitted to hospital for diabetic reasons for them to find the cancer.
In the hospital dad was not given any kind of counselling and neither were his family.
We were told that this kind of cancer was very rare, we did do our own DR Googling at the time but there wasn't any information that I could find. 
In the last month I found a website called 
neuroendocrine.org.au 
I Only wish that I had of found this a lot earlier. 
We may have been able to stop dad from suffering as much as he did.
Neuroendocrine.org.au have books for patients about the cancer, nutrition, NET nurses, support groups and a whole lot more.
All this information could have helped dad and our family. 
The hospital or social worker should have given this information to us.
The reason I'm writing this post is to put it out there and maybe this information can help one person, or their families and it will make them more aware of this type of cancer.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
