In addition to support groups that hold regular meetings, there are also online support groups and elist discussion groups (US and international) that you may find helpful.

US Elists

  • MEN1 Support Group MEN1 is a hereditary syndrome that causes tumors—mostly endocrine—in different organs. Sometimes, but not often, carcinoid tumors develop. This elist was created for patients, family members, and caregivers to offer caring, support, guidance, and up-to-date information on living and coping with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1 (MEN1). All are welcome to join. Just enter the link above. Hope to see you there. Please note, this group has moved to Facebook.  See the link below in Facebook Support Groups.
  • INSPIRE, the online support community, has added a section for Neuroendocrine (NETS) / Carcinoid Tumors in the Lung Cancer community. All who are interested are invited to join.

  • ZES (Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome) online support group This is a support group for patients, caregivers, and family members.
