Neuroendocrine Tumors
I plan on having a very, very long life. I’m 66 years old and I run a daycare in Havertown, Pennsylvania. Until I was diagnosed, I had no symptoms to speak of and had lived a healthy lifestyle. That’s why when doctors told me I had carcinoid tumors, I had trouble believing I was really sick.

Dr. Vijayvergia has been my oncologist in connection with my [...] cancer since it was discovered late in 2017, and she and her Fox Chase team have been wonderful in helping me through this including surgery and treatments/monitoring since that time. I am fortunate to have chosen Fox Chase and Dr. Vijay both for their expertise as well as their/Fox Chase's concern and care for me and my family as their patient.
