For 7 years CCAN has provided information and support to NET patients and caregivers via e-mail, our web site and toll free phone number. Our phone line is open 7 days a week from 9 am – 9 pm EST, 365 days a year and is answered by a patient or a caregiver at all times. We want you to know the person on the other end of the phone understands first hand about the disease.
