2008 WINTER & SPRING EVENTS CALENDAR

There is a lot of activity within the carcinoid community this year. For a "old timer" like me, having been diagnosed 10 years ago when there were only two carcinoid websites (Sunny Susan's and the Carcinoid Cancer Foundation), this is phenomenal! I hope you take advantage of some of these opportunities and remember that you are not alone!
Happy New Year!
