THE
CARCINOID AWARENESS NETWORK (CCAN) IS GOING TO
HELP WITH REGISTRATION AND WILL HELP US PROVIDE THE DAY TO DAY WORKER BEES
TO MAN THE REGISTRATION DESKS ETC. ANYONE ONE WHO KNOWS THESE FOLKS KNOW
THAT THIS WILL MEAN THAT EVERYTHING WILL RUN SMOOTHLY.
We are in the
process of contacting corporate sponsors to help make this conference
happen. Again -- (like the last time) breakfast and lunch on Friday and
Saturday and the munchies at the Thursday evening mixer will be part of the
registration cost (TBA). You will be on your own for dinner on Thursday (if
you are still hungry - after the social event --- but if you were here last
time I think that you won't be hungry) and will be on your own on Friday and
Saturday for dinner.
We will have to
guarantee the A-C-Plaza 200 room nights on Thursday and Friday and Saturday
and we will limit registration to the first 500 folks who sign up. As you
know the Portland and Norfolk conferences had waiting lists so don't be a
"I SHOULD OF "--- PERSON.
Stay tuned for
specific meeting registration information and how to sign up for room
registration at the Astor Crowne Plaza.
Let's all take a
moment to thank the folks who are helping us do this --- the Kenner Ochsner
team and the CCAN team!!! More "thank ya'alls" will be coming as I enlist
more sponsors.
Put this on your
schedule RIGHT now---you will forget this if you = don't do it now!!!!
Please pass this along
to all of your support groups, on line groups (yahoo – ACOR - etc) and tell
your docs and their staffs.
While this is not
a CME conference ---- it is perfect for the doc or office staff who wants to
learn about NETS so that they can take better care OF YOU!!!!!
PLUS IT IS IN NEW
ORLEANS -- the most fun city in the world ----- smile -- unlike Las Vegas --
what happens in New Orleans remains buried in the swamp ---- FOREVER!

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.

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.
This
web site was 14 years old on April 27, 2011, 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.
PLEASE use the SEARCH
capability at the top my pages. You may search for a word, a phrase, a
