ncan support groups – carolinas chapter – raleigh
Meet Vann
I was diagnosed with a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PNET) with metastases to the liver in September 2023. Living in Central North Carolina, I’m fortunate to have access to excellent healthcare. Following my diagnosis, I took immediate action to find a doctor who could perform surgery while prioritizing my quality of life. In January 2024, I underwent surgery to remove the pancreatic tumor and two liver tumors.
My journey led me to discover NCAN through research and a close friend who also has NET cancer. The connections I made through support groups have been invaluable, and I’ve found a passion for helping others navigate this rare illness. I’m committed to supporting fellow patients and sharing the strength and knowledge I’ve gained through my own experience.

ABOUT OUR GROUP
NCAN Support Group meetings are built on the concept of patients helping patients.
Our meetings are all about getting to know people who understand exactly what you’re going through, and about getting you the most up-to-date information on NET testing, treatment options, and lifestyle tips.
Each meeting is a way to connect with others who are experiencing life with Net/Carcinoid Cancer. This Support Group is a safe, friendly place to talk, laugh, and even cry; and a place to always be inspired and encouraged. You will always find lots of the most up-to-date information on NET/Carcinoid testing, treatment options, and lifestyle tips available to educate and help you along your journey.
Each NCAN Support Group is led by, and for, people who have, or are caring for someone, with NET/Carcinoid Cancer. Together we understand and can support what each other is going through.
This group is open to all patients, caregivers, and family members as well as those in the medical profession.
We hope you decide to JOIN US at an upcoming meeting…we look so forward to meeting you!
