Neuroendocrine Cancer UK understands the vital importance of mental health care in conjunction with physical health. As a charity, we work in partnership with Rareminds to offer various counselling and group therapy programmes for neuroendocrine cancer patients. Please visit our counselling page for further information and upcoming dates.
Neuroendocrine Cancer UK fully supports this campaign and being part of such a high-profile campaign in a national paper is a great opportunity for us to raise awareness of neuroendocrine cancer.
