Information and support for family, friends and carers
When someone you care about is diagnosed with neuroendocrine cancer, it affects your life too. You may experience a range of emotions, from worry and uncertainty to frustration or sadness, while also trying to support the person you care about.
Whether you're a partner, family member, friend or carer, your own wellbeing matters. You may have questions, need someone to talk to or simply want to connect with others who understand what you're going through.
At Neuroendocrine Cancer UK, we're here to support you too.
Support groups for family, friends and carers
Our in-person and online support groups aren’t only for people diagnosed with neuroendocrine cancer. Many also welcome family members, friends and carers.
We also have a dedicated online support group for family, friends and carers, offering a space to connect with others who have similar experiences.
You can also join our Family and Friends Facebook group.
