Carcinoid Cancer Awareness Activities
While the rally was held on May 2nd, all of May is designated as Carcinoid Cancer Awareness Month. If you were unable to participate on Monday there are still opportunities for you to honor the spirit of this effort. Here are some suggestions:
1) Complete the APRIL AWARENESS PROJECT of sending PCCAN and carcinoid information to your physicians. See me or the e-mail of March 31 for details.
2) Register to attend the National Carcinoid Cancer/NET Conference in Philadelphia, September 22-24. Rooms at the conference location are limited so make your reservations soon.
3) Attend our regularly scheduled meeting on May 15th at 2:00 at Hershey Medical Center. Our speaker is Judy Lyter, a nurse counselor who will be speaking about the emotional aspect of living with a chronic illness.
4) Write a letter to the editor of your local paper about Carcinoid Cancer Awareness Month and the importance of early diagnosis, appropriately aggressive treatment, and better monitoring.
5) Purchase the following awareness merchandise that will be available at our next meeting: carcinoid lapel pin ($3), carcinoid bracelet ($2), carcinoid car magnet ($3). The funds collected will go toward the expenses of PCCAN.
6) Revisited the Carcinoid Cancer Foundation to continue your own carcinoid cancer awareness education.
