Support Group Success!

I'm a little slow in blogging about this, but we were thrilled with the turn out for our first Utah Carcinoid Cancer Support Group Meeting on March 13.  Thirteen people attended, and considering the rarity of neuroendocrine tumors, we feel this is a great beginning.

Merlynn did a nice job of conducting the meeting and shared some good information.  He gave out binders with charts and other pages which could help the members keep track of their test results, etc.


We're grateful to have met so many new friends and feel blessed to rub shoulders with such remarkable people.  We quickly realized that so many others are struggling with this disease a lot more than we are, and they shared such amazing stories of courage and strength.  We left feeling very uplifted and with a great deal of love for each of them.

We're so thankful that the additional tests Merlynn had this month continue to show us his tumors are stable. 

We're looking forward to our next support group meeting in May and hope we can somehow bring strength, knowledge, and comfort to others.
