Caring Conversations

We at the Caring for Carcinoid Foundation highly value creating caring conversations among carcinoid/NET patients, families, friends and supporters. Caring conversations based on truth and transparency will lead to a more united and positive community. Nothing could be more valuable as we fight together against an incurable cancer.

Many of you have written to me asking the Caring for Carcinoid Foundation to build a home for kind, honest dialogue that does not exist today. In response to your requests, I’m delighted to announce the launch of “Caring Conversations”!

Caring Conversations will be a home for all members of the carcinoid/NET community to share their thoughts, emotions, ideas, and hopes for the future. We are a diverse group, and we all need each other. So each forum will address a specific need of the community.

Specifically, we will build on the results of our CFCF QuickPolls. QuickPoll #1 indicated that our community is very broad. QuickPoll #2 indicated the breadth of activity we pursue. QuickPoll #3 showed the wide range of emotions that we all experience as we cope with carcinoid/NET cancers. And, QuickPoll #4 shows the various treatments we’ve all experienced. Given our breadth of perspectives, each of us can help each other.

The forums in Caring Conversations will be closely moderated to ensure that the forums will be caring and safe environments. Supportive patients and caregivers will help to moderate.

At all times we will welcome your suggestions for how to make your experience even better.

These forums are going to be empty initially (they’re only one hour old!).

Come join us!
