******************

27 April 2017 this web site was 20 years old, the 1st by a Carcinoid patient!

********************

There is HOPE for those diagnosed with Carcinoid/NETS. 

I've started my 23rd year of active, full life: May 10, 1995 -- May 10, 2017.

April 27, 2017 was the 20th anniversary of this page;
 the FIRST by a Carcinoid patient.
 

********************

April 23, 2014 I began Dialysis every evening at home
due to being Stage 5 Chronic Kidney Disease.

My memoir book Becoming Sunny Susan is now available

My story is one many of you can identify with – an uplifting look at a life that I am determined to live well, despite all the obstacles I have been dealt. At the heart of the story is the idea of LIVING with cancer. It took eight years to correctly diagnose my rare disease, Carcinoid/ Neuroendocrine Tumors. Then, they said I would die in just a few more years. That was 18 years ago, and here I am! How have I faired? Very well. Read the book to find out how I have lived a happy life, even with cancer.

Would you help to spread the positive word by telling your friends, by gifting the book, and by posting a review for other readers on the www.amazon.com  page? We know how valuable a positive recommendation can be.

NET NEWS, Vol 1, Issue 1, Winter-Spring 2006
Published by The Carcinoid Cancer Foundation, Inc.
You can access this newsletter from:
http://www.carcinoid.org/news/index.shtml

The Carcinoid Cancer Foundation (CCF) has existed for close to forty years. In 1997 it produced its first website which made available to the general public and the medical community information about carcinoid and related neuroendocrine cancers. The incidence of these rare cancers is 3 new cases diagnosed per 100,000 people in the United States which equals approximately 8000 new cases per year. The philosophy of CCF has always been to disseminate accurate, up-to-date information about diagnosis, treatment, and surveillance options to maximize survival and quality of life for those individuals suffering with these diseases. We strive as the multitude of carcinoid/NET national and international experts have been doing (some for decades) to find a cure. In the meantime we must focus on educating the medical community to find the best diagnostic and treatment options available. CCF has and is working closely with both US and international medical experts and support groups. Many people may not be aware of all the various activities in which the Carcinoid Cancer Foundation is involved. This first newsletter enumerates CCF's role in patient advocacy, research, and dissemination of medical information and gives a summary of accomplishments in the year 2005 and plans for the year 2006.  Without your collaboration our accomplishments could not have been possible.

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.

THE 2012 WARNER ADVOCACY AWARD WINNER "SUNNY" SUSAN L. ANDERSON

SHINING A LIGHT ON CARCINOID/NETS THROUGH EDUCATION, SUPPORT, AND A PASSION FOR LIFE

Susan L. Anderson, or "Sunny" Susan as she's affectionately known, has dedicated her life to people affected by carcinoid/neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) and has become an energetic advocate for, and educator of, the disease. Her journey began on May 10, 1995, when she was diagnosed with carcinoid cancer after an 8-year-long battle through one misdiagnosis after another.

Susan immediately began researching the disease and soon learned there wasn't much information available about NETs. Many doctors believed patients with NETs had a short time to live. Born with a self-proclaimed "type A" personality, Susan refused to accept the supposed facts. She says, "I was told by every doctor to 'learn to live with it.' Probably the average person would accept that. I refused to and because of that I'm still alive."

Through her research, Susan discovered Monica Warner's website for the Carcinoid Cancer Foundation. From that moment on, Susan Anderson, Monica Warner, and Dr. Richard Warner formed a team determined to bring attention to this uncommon disease and advocated tirelessly for patients everywhere.

Recognizing the need for greater patient support, Susan created the first website about NETs by a patient, which celebrates its 15th anniversary this year. The site, carcinoidinfo.info, continues its success in assisting people affected by the disease, and has more than 380,000 visitors. In addition to this "labor of love," Susan has dedicated her time to personally answering more than 100,000 e-mails, assisting patients and caregivers from around the world. Susan's in-depth relationships within the carcinoid/NET community even allow her to refer international patients to support groups in their respective countries.

Susan has attended numerous conferences throughout the world as a guest speaker, including the first International Meeting of Patient Self-Help Groups in Berlin, Germany. One of her fondest memories is from 2009, when Dr. Richard Warner invited Susan to take part in a 12-person panel of patients with carcinoid cancer at the Patient Support Advisory Board meeting in New York. When not attending conferences, Susan participates in many boards and support groups, some of which she has founded.

"Sunny" Susan has her nickname for a reason. Each step of her journey has been accompanied by unwavering optimism, determined energy, and an incredible zest for life. It makes sense that her daily goals are to "have some good 'belly laughs,' assist others, and live each day to its fullest enjoying each and every one."

Susan is honored to share recognition alongside the late Monica Warner, the pioneer of Patient Advocacy for NET patients who was also a dear friend. The recognition also extends to amazing patient advocates everywhere, including Maryann Wahmann and Jan Naritomi-Hart, the 2010 and 2011 Warner Advocacy Award recipients, respectively.

Please visit the Warner Advocacy Award Guest Book and leave a message congratulating our 2012 winner.

Photo: Congratulations to Susan Anderson on receiving the 2012 Warner Advocacy Award!! 

The award was announced at the National Carcinoid/NET Patient Conference in New Orleans this past Saturday by Mildred Kowalski, Director, Patient Advocacy, Oncology, at Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation.  To commemorate the life and work of Monica Warner, who passed away in August 2009, Novartis Oncology, through Patient Advocacy and The NET Alliance, established the Warner Advocacy Award. This award is presented annually by Novartis Oncology to honor the patient, advocate, or caregiver who most embodies the passion, dedication, leadership, and spirit with which Monica Warner assisted patients, caregivers, and families affected by NETs.  To read more about the award, click here: http://www.warneradvocacyaward.com/index.jsp

Created in 1997, Susan’s website is the first and oldest online personal website in the carcinoid/NET community. Susan is a carcinoid patient and awareness advocate. Her website has a wealth of information and should be one of the first personal websites you should visit. She is a longtime carcinoid and breast cancer survivor with an aggressive approach to maintaining an active and lifestyle.

   Wśród jego członków znalazły się osoby chore na te rzadkie guzy, a także członkowie
 ich rodzin oraz bliscy.Pojęcie <Guzy neuroendokrynne GEP-NET> obejmuje
kilkanaście typów guzów nowotworowych od łagodnych po formy wysoce złośliwe.
Najbardziej znaną jednostką chorobową jest "rakowiak". Guzy tego typu to wciąż
jeszcze mało znany problem medyczny w Polsce.

   18 listopada 2005 roku o godzinie 9.30 w Hotelu Hyatt w Warszawie odbyła się
sesja edukacyjna dla członków Stowarzyszenia. Byli na niej obecni pacjenci i ich r
odziny z różnych stron Polski. Podczas spotkania dyskutowaliśmy o działaniach, które
chcielibyśmy zrealizować oraz o najbardziej palących problemach, jakim muszą
stawiać czoło chorzy na guzy neuroendokrynne.
