 ********************

Neuroendocrine Tumors (NETs) is the umbrella term for a group of unusual, often slow-growing cancers,
which develop from cells in the diffuse endocrine system. They are found most commonly in the lung or gastrointestinal system, but they can also originate in other parts of the body such as the pancreas,
ovary, and testes, among other sites.

Doctor Eugene A. Woltering, the Carcinoid Cancer Awareness Network (CCAN) and the entire New Orleans Neuroendocrine Tumor Specialists (NOLANETS) team at Ochsner in Kenner LA are happy to announce the dates for the 2016 National Carcinoid-NETS conference. The conference will be held at the ASTOR CROWNE PLAZA at the corner of Bourbon Street and Canal Street in the heart of the French Quarter. Our preliminary plans are to maintain the same format as the past New Orleans conferences.

Like always---- we learn from doing these conferences. We welcome your suggestions about what you liked and disliked at the last conference. Please feel free to send me speaker/conference suggestions at ewolte@lsuhsc.edu.

The cost of the conference registration fees have not been worked out, but everyone who has attended our other NOLA conferences have remarked on the inexpensive nature of the registration fees when compared to the number of speakers, free meals and morning/afternoon snacks.

We are hoping that “all ya all” come on down and party with Doc W. and the rest of the New Orleans team. The hotel is beautiful, the food is fabulous and the meeting will provide you with loads of information

A note from "Sunny" Susan Anderson regarding conferences.

From my experiences I can say, when attending a conference, you shall have a very educational and enjoyable time.  First we get to meet and hear some very special doctors speak, so we learn new things; then we are able to put faces with the people we only know on-line by their names;  we net-work with old friends, make new friends and know that we are not alone in battling our neuroendocrine cancer.

Since 1996 --- when I first located others with Carcinoid --- I have answered every email sent to me, although some replies were delayed longer than I liked. I am NO longer able to reply to all e-mails due to the volume and other things going on in my life (all good).  I do love hearing from others, but an unable to reply to all individually.  I shall not forget my many Carcinoid friends and of course shall reply to you … as time permits.  This web site was 19 years old on April 27, 2016, and my plan is to keep it updated for many years to come.

Since my husband "retired" I am away from my computer for days, and sometimes, weeks at a time.  Yes, there is wireless internet and we have tried that a number of places.  But, if I deal with email when we are away from home then it is not a "restful vacation" for me.
