Thank you, Susan
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 11 years old on April 27, 2008, 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 drug, a
treatment, a book title or anything you can think of. You may search this site
only, or search the complete World Wide Web.
To speak with
a person
please know you may call the “telephone information and support line” of the
Carcinoid Cancer Foundation, Inc. (CCF), Tuesday through Thursday 10 a.m. to 4
p.m. Eastern Time at 1-888-722-3132 (free) or 1-914-693-1001. “The
information and support line” is staffed by medical professionals. Mondays and
Fridays are research days, if you call then and do not reach a person do leave a
clear message. The Carcinoid Cancer Foundation’s (CCF) superb web site is at
