The Howard D. Trotman NET Patient Assistance Program’s mission is to support NET cancer patients who require assistance for medical care related to their cancer.  Each application is reviewed based on need where medical expenses would be a major financial burden.

All applicants must have exhausted other sources of support from other available programs before applying.  Please refer to the Summary of Financial Assistance Programs

Funds are provided on a first-come, first-served basis.

The program offers a grant of up to $3,000 per family to provide some relief from economic hardship during a very challenging time in their life.

• Transportation to/from the center for appointments or treatment.
• Accommodations ($185-$250 per night)
• Meals at a per diem rate of $50 per day
• Medications that are not covered by any other plans (or non-covered % portions) related to your cancer.
• Cost of diagnostics not available to you under the public health system (example: Ga68 PET/CT)
• Parking at the cancer center/hospital.
• Childcare costs
• Expenses not listed above can be submitted for consideration by the review committee.

Individuals must fill out our Application Form and submit financial information (such as copies of Income Tax documents/CRA summaries and other sources for proof of income) and provide original receipts for expenses.

Additionally, the Application Form must be signed by the patients’ oncologist, primary care nurse or a social worker at the hospital where they are being treated. This process ensures that the review committee members who assess the applications can be responsible stewards of the donations distributed by CNETS on behalf of the donors to the Howard D. Trotman NET Patient Assistance Program.
