Neuroendocrine Cancer UK (NCUK) supports the Daily Express Cancer Care campaign ensuring that all cancer patients get access to mental health support both during and after their treatment.
Neuroendocrine Cancer UK’s CEO, Catherine Bouvier-Ellis, has written an article, which uses data from the NCUK Open Conversations report. It demonstrates that 84% of patients with neuroendocrine cancer weren’t asked how they were feeling emotionally when they received their diagnosis.
She discusses how a cancer diagnosis is life-changing. But for people with less common cancers like neuroendocrine cancer, that emotional impact can be even more profound and more invisible.
By supporting a high-profile cancer campaign in a national newspaper, NCUK makes a major step in raising awareness about neuroendocrine cancer and the unmet needs of patients.
