The Invisible Cancer - Bringing Visibility to Neuroendocrine Cancer
The Invisible Cancer Podcast raises awareness of neuroendocrine cancer, a cancer most people have never heard of, and this lack of awareness can affect diagnosis, treatment, and care. Through real-life stories, expert insights, and practical advice, we explore the challenges patients face, from initial diagnosis to management, including the impact on mental health and ongoing follow-up.
Hosted by Lisa Walker and produced by Neuroendocrine Cancer UK, this podcast shines a light on neuroendocrine and other often-overlooked cancers, offering information, support, and connection to anyone affected.
