A new survey for NETs patients is available on Carenity

Quick, easy survey to complete, won't take too much of your time to do and it's a worthwhile survey as I feel there isn't enough information out there, including clinical trials and the results of those studies. As the condition I have is quite rare I feel quite isolated, I also feel that doctors are using me as a guinea pig of type as there are not enough clinical trial results for them to advise me about the treatment pathway. Just wish I could find someone out there who has been in a similar position with a similar condition/illness. 

Hello @Jayblayneeng7602 

Thanks for your feedback on the survey!

It's true that there is not much information on NETs, and this is why we invite you to talk to other patients in the discussions you find in this group, create your own conversations in order to discuss a specific topic that interests you or that you wish to learn about.

If you have questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Kind regards,

Margarita
