Welcome to my new template newsletter compiled using WordPress (my blog app). This is the 2nd in this format, and I will continue in the absence of a Newsletter app that meets my needs. It's been another busy month as you will see below. But please take the time to read through as I can almost guarantee there will be something you missed and want to read and share! Some of the items below will make you laugh but others may make you cry.
My award-winning blog is central to everything I do, without it, there is no Facebook, twitter or private group. It follows that supporting my blog is also supporting those other outlets.

I write about clinical trials all the time. Normally as a standalone blog post. Each one is indexed using a Clinical Trial category. Below you will find a blue box which links to all the post categorised as pertaining to clinical trials. If you want me to write about a particular trial just contact me.
Choosing to participate in a study is an important personal decision. Talk with your doctor and family members or friends about deciding to join a study. To learn more about this study, you or your doctor may contact the study research staff using the contacts provided in the clinical trials document. It’s very important to check the trial inclusion and exclusion criteria before making any contact. If you need questions, the articles here is very useful Questions to Ask About Clinical Trials | Cancer.Net
The inclusion of any trial within this blog should not be taken as a recommendation by Ronny Allan.
I have the biggest Facebook support group in the world for Neuroendocrine Cancer. It is rules based but also educational based. It is open to patients and/or their primary supporter.

I would also mention those who contributed to my “Tea Fund” which resides on PayPal. You don’t need a PayPal account as you can select a card but don’t forget to select the number of units first (i.e. 1 = £4, 2 = £8, 3 = £12, and so on), plus further on, tick a button to NOT create a PayPal account if you don’t need one. Clearly, if you have a PayPal account, the process is much simpler
