November 10 is World NET Cancer Awareness Day.
On September 24, and 25, 2011, NET Cancer patients, caregivers, family, friends, medical researchers, and medical professionals were part of a Canada-wide effort to raise awareness, in both official languages, of NET Cancer. CNETS Canada is thrilled to present these videos, which also successfully raised desperately needed funds for NET Cancer research in Canada. The videos are also part of a group of excellent videos from various counties including the UK, Holland, the US, Australia, France, Germany, Bulgaria, and Singapore, to appear on November 10 on the www.netcancerday.org site.
There is a French version of this video, here.
