Free Education Workshops for Carcinoid Cancer & Neuroendocrine Tumor Patients

Carcinoid and neuroendocrine cancer patients have a wonderful resource in CancerCare, a national nonprofit organization that provides free, professional support services for anyone affected by cancer.  “CancerCare’s free Connect® Education Workshops are a way for people to learn about cancer-related issues from the convenience of their home or office. Leading experts in oncology provide the most up-to-date information on the telephone. These are interactive educational programs to help you and your loved ones better understand and cope with your diagnosis, treatment options, quality-of-life concerns, treatment side effects, pain management, doctor-patient communication and other important topics.”

How do you participate?  Either listen to the workshop on the telephone or via live streaming through the Internet.  While pre-registration is required, participation is free.  Register by telephone at 1-800-813-HOPE (4673) or online at: http://www.cancercare.org/get_help/tew_calendar.php. You can also click on that link to learn more about each workshop, how you can access the workshops in case you miss one, how to participate if you live outside of the United States, and who to contact for further information.

You can ask questions of the expert speakers during the final 20-30 minutes of each 1-hour-long workshop.
