WELCOME to my web site! I was diagnosed with Carcinoid Cancer
May
10, 1995. Go to my Carcinoid section (and other sections, see to your
left) to
learn more about Carcinoid Cancer and for links to additional medical
and useful information sites for people (and their families) with
Carcinoid. Be sure to check
The
Carcinoid Cancer Foundation, Inc. (CCF)
I was diagnosed with
Infiltrative Ductal Carcinoma (IDC) Breast Cancer on
June 18, 1999.
There is NO connection to Carcinoid, this is completely different!
PLEASE take time to read "My
Complete Carcinoid Story" or if rushed read the short
version "My
Short Carcinoid Story", and review the
information through this
web site and linked from here -- the result of over fifteen
(15) years of my research
and work (since http://www.carcinoidinfo.info/mystoryshort.htm May 1995), which shall continue.
NEWS - My book that turned into two books! - NEWS - Coming Soon! In January 2011 I started writing my book that I envisioned to be 1/3 memoir, 1/3 family history and 1/3 Carcinoid NETs. I allowed two full years for this project. The editor I am working with suggested that I split it into two book; one my biography, Carcinoid NETs journey and Carcinoid NETs information, and two a family history book. As a result all that is involved in writing a book with professional editors and book designer it is taking longer than expected. The first book is Becoming Sunny Susan by Susan L. Anderson; I am honored that Dr. Richard R. P. Warner wrote the forward; and the second book is Pioneers Past to Present. Both books have table of content, a multitude of picture and full indexes. I have the ISBNs for both books. When available on Amazon.com and through my web site, I will let you all know via: emails, ACOR mailing list, my web site and FaceBook: my wall, Carcinoid Cancer Foundation, Carcinoid Cancer Café and other site on FaceBook. ******************** Mildred “Millie” Kowalski, of Novartis Oncology announced at the Carcinoid Conference, in New Orleans, 9/22/2012 that I, Susan Anderson, am the recipient of the 2012 Warner Advocacy Award. I was sorry that we were unable to attend. I am honored and thrilled to receive this very meaningful award! Dr. Richard R. W. Warner, at my request, accepted this award on my behalf. http://warneradvocacyaward.com/patient/current-warner-award-winner-2012.jsp

August 2009, Novartis Oncology, through Patient Advocacy and The NET
