Take part in a study exploring how living alone whilst living with breast cancer can impact treatment decision making and outcomes.
What’s the study about?
Previous research has shown that marital status can affect outcomes in cancer, including earlier diagnosis and improved outcomes for people who are married or in a long term partnership.
This research project aims to understand the experiences of those living alone when they are diagnosed and treated for cancer. This includes exploring how they make decisions about treatment choices. They will also look at how living alone impacts these decisions made.
Who can take part?
You can take part if you have previously been diagnosed with primary breast cancer and are currently in remission. You must also have been living alone during the period of diagnosis and treatment.
You must be aged 25 to 65.
Why do you want me to be involved?
Your experiences and thoughts will help the researchers to understand how living along affects people when going through a cancer diagnosis.
What will you ask me to do?
You'll be asked to take part in an interview with the lead researcher at a time chosen by you. This will be by phone or online.
The interview will last no more than 1 hour and you’ll be asked about your experiences of diagnosis and treatment.
