- Ronny Allan’s Newsletter covering August 2026
Summary of August 2026 on RonnyAllan.NET August was similar to the other months of this year but like July, views are down on the previous two months due to 50% of the month spent on holiday.

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. Thinking back to that period of my life, I’m happy but also slightly amazed to be celebrating such a long milestone having been diagnosed with cancer at… Read more: 2026 Surveillance Update from Ronny Allan: “See you in 12 months” - Spotlight: Selenium in Neuroendocrine Tumours (NETs)

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).

Many Neuroendocrine Tumours are small. Not my words but I first discovered the term in 2021 when reading the words of Dr Mark Lewis, Oncologist and NET Patient. He himself, was citing this term referencing back to giants in the world of NETs over many decades. There was a seminal lecture entitled “An Odyssey in… Read more: Small tumours – big impact - The Invisibility of Neuroendocrine Tumours (NET) – an awareness post by Ronny Allan
“Invisible cancer” typically refers to malignancies that evade early detection or disguise themselves as other common, non-life-threatening ailments. This term is very frequently associated with Neuroendocrine Tumours which are very often difficult to spot on standard imaging and blood tests. When I was diagnosed, I didn’t even feel ill. It was therefore a bit of… Read more: The Invisibility of Neuroendocrine Tumours (NET) – an awareness post by Ronny Allan
