Seriously, I’m not a zebra!

One thing I’ve discovered when posting about this subject….. I’m not alone. In fact, I was actually surprised how many people cannot abide the infatuation and borderline cultish adulation with black and white striped animal themed rubbish attached to everything they do (thus the cult tag). It regularly emanates from certain parts (but thankfully not all) of the NET community, worryingly including certain doctors who should be focussed on Oncology, not Zoology.

The main issue I have within the NET community is the 1940s thinking in the days when science and statistics were not advanced as they both are today. Certain countries, organisations and individuals focus on this more than others, perhaps they’re just out of date or quite like being part of the ‘cult of zebra’. Maybe some just want to wind me up, some do come to my site with that purpose – they don’t last long. It never works, the block feature is deployed and then I double my efforts in response.

Thankfully, some advocate organisations, progressive NET specialists and patients are just as vocal as me on the subject (….well almost!).

Here is one fact that many people don’t know. Just reading this slide might change your complete outlook on the subject, it did for me.

If you’ve not read my campaigns on this subject. I included a few below. Happy reading!
