Newly Diagnosed

We encourage you to join us at our monthly meetings where you will have the opportunity to discuss your questions and concerns with those who have been living with a NET diagnosis with those who have been living with NETs for years (in some cases over 25 years.)

Our Mission

Providing opportunities for our members to connect with others who have these rare illnesses will enable them not only to get their questions answered, but also to give and receive emotional support. 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.
