Today is Net Cancer Day. November 10th is the annual awareness day for Net Cancer. So many people wait for a long time for a diagnosis. Go back and forth to their doctors with symptoms and get told it is irritable bowel or something else other than the actual cancer. When Doctors are taught ‘when you hear hoofbeats, think horses not zebras,’ meaning a doctor should first think about what is a more common—and potentially more likely—diagnosis. Net Cancer and Carcinoid Syndrome is rare hence not the first thing the doctor looks for. Awareness needs to be raised for this cancer. Toda
y is NET Cancer Day and the hope that the message gets around the world – raising awareness of this cancer.
