It is with incredible sadness that we share the news of the passing of Lyn Gaetz, former CNETS Vice-President and Secretary. Lyn, who was a neuroendocrine cancer patient, joined the CNETS board of directors in January of 2019, was appointed Secretary in December 2019, and subsequently appointed Vice-President in November 2020. Lyn resigned from the CNETS board earlier this year. Lyn was a generous volunteer and an incredible advocate for the neuroendocrine cancer community, never afraid to speak up and share her experiences for the benefit of the broader patient population. She was active in all aspects of the organization including awareness, advocacy, patient education and fundraising. Lyn was a straight shooter but always able to bring others into the fold in a warm and welcoming way. Lyn made a significant impression as our patient speaker at the 2019 Patient Conference and was also a strong patient advocate outside of the neuroendocrine cancer space. She made a tremendous contribution to our cause and beyond during her two-year tenure on our board of directors. Lyn is greatly missed by the neuroendocrine cancer community and we extend our deepest condolences to the Gaetz family.
Lyn's obituary can be found at the button below and includes instructions for participating in her virtual memorial, taking place on October 17, 2021.
