Learn About NETs and monthly meetings
There are many opportunities to learn more about this very elusive and hard-to-diagnose disorder called Neuroendocrine Tumors (NETs)/Carcinoids. When a new learning opportunity becomes available it will be posted here.
Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuroendocrine Tumors (NETs) Support Group.
Does this have anything to do with Neuroendocrine Carcinoma (small cell NEC) ?
Hi @amariewilkinson
If your biopsy results show neuroendocrine cells, yes please join our group. As I mentioned in my post, you will need to register in advance in order to get the Zoom link. I look forward to seeing you on Thursday.
