Who can take part?

You can take part if you:

• Are currently aged between 20-39 years old
• Have been diagnosed with cancer at any point in your life

Why do you want me to be involved?

In this study, the researchers will explore the needs of young adults living with and beyond cancer. Using this knowledge, they’ll tailor services to support individuals living beyond cancer in the most beneficial way.

By taking part, your views could help to inform the future of cancer care. And you’ll be helping to support young adults living with and beyond breast cancer.

What will you ask me to do?

If you choose to take part, you’ll be asked to complete an anonymous online survey. This should take no more than 15 minutes to complete. And you don't need to prepare anything before completing the survey.

Please note, this questionnaire includes sensitive questions about thinking back to when you were diagnosed with cancer. Some participants may find this distressing. Remember, the Breast Cancer Now helpline is always available to support you at 0808 800 6000
