- Hey Cancer- it’s been 16 years since my “big surgery”
D Day I was 54 years and 9 months old at diagnosis on 26th July 2010. For the first few months, I had no idea what the outcome would be.

I was 54 years and 9 months old at diagnosis on 26th July 2010. For the first few months, I had no idea what the outcome would be. … Read more: I made it to 71! - Neuroendocrine Tumours (NET) – Does rising incidence and prevalence need more research, funding and resources?

I guess if you ask any patient, the answer is a resounding YES. I also very much guess that many doctors would repeat that answer. And some are… Read more: Neuroendocrine Tumours (NET) – Does rising incidence and prevalence need more research, funding and resources? - Ronny Allan’s Newsletter covering September 2026

It’s only a couple of weeks since I celebrated my 16th year since diagnosis of metastatic small intestine Neuroendocrine Tumour (NET) at Grade 2 on 26th July 2010.

I finally made 16 years since I was diagnosed on 26th July 2010. A milestone I was not certain at the time I would reach. However, as things progressed, as treatment was administered, and as I got used to living with Neuroendocrine Cancer, I eventually became more confident this was a possibility with the help […]
- Spotlight on Cushing’s Syndrome in Neuroendocrine Neoplasms
Intro Cushing’s syndrome is one of the most challenging hormonal complications seen in people with neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs).
