Carcinoid Cancer Awareness

Zebra stripes are used to symbolize rare or “camouflaged” conditions. The Carcinoid community wants med students to flip the old adage, and think: “When you hear hoof beats don't assume it's a horse, it might be a zebra.”







Wearing a zebra pin or a zebra-striped bracelet or ribbon shows your support to promote awareness and to fund the education and research needs related to carcinoid cancer.

    Joe - you are so right...I'm lucky in that this blog has helped me gain courage and strength from others in the carcinoid community. It makes the fight a little easier.
