Getting NET cancer on the radar
One of the things high on my NET cancer agenda is raising awareness about the disease with the general public as well as with primary care physicians. To that end, I wrote four scripts about a month ago that I shared with people in the field. Response to the scripts from them have been very positive.
Now I’d like some input from regular people–and some help in getting them turned into usable video and audio spots.
Please let me know what you think. And if you can help turn these scripts into real product or help get that product on the air, I’d really like to hear from you.
NET cancer Script 1:
My wife and I had plans…
But she died six months before we were supposed to retire—and just four months after being diagnosed with a cancer her doctor had never heard of: Neuroendocrine Tumor Cancer.
We think she’d had it for 30 years.
But it’s hard to detect. It looks like irritable bowel syndrome in one patient, early menopause in another, heart disease in a third—in fact NET cancer can produce almost any hormone your body produces—in quantities that screw up your body chemistry.
NET cancer—it’s a killer.

NET cancer Script 2:
Do you have irritable bowel syndrome?
Have you tried the diets and the medications—but still get bloating, gas, and diarrhea?
(Cut to symptoms screen)
Maybe you don’t really have IBS.
Maybe you have Neuroendocrine Tumor Cancer.
If you have two or more of these symptoms, talk to your doctor about NET cancer.
That conversation could save your life.

NET cancer Script 3:
November 10 is NET Cancer Awareness Day.
Never heard of it? Neither had my wife’s doctors. One called what she had irritable bowel syndrome, another called it anxiety, a third told her it was all in her head. This went on for 30 years.
Less than a year from our retirement, someone finally got it right. Four months later, my wife was dead.
