********************
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.
For the
seven conferences I have attended, and others I was not able

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.
