Survivors of cancer sometimes report ongoing issues and the need for various services many years after the completion of treatment.  The following statements cover a range of different issues which survivors of cancer may face.  The issues include:

  • information and medical care issues
  • quality of life
  • emotional and relationship issues
  • and the impact cancer has had on your life perspective.

We want to learn about your need for services RIGHT NOW.  Whilst we recognise that people may have had many needs at diagnosis and during treatment, this study is focusing on your needs AFTER your primary treatment finished.  Your responses will enable us to make recommendations about what sort of supports and services should be available to survivors of cancer and their families in the future.   We also want to know about any positive changes to your life that you may have experienced as a result of your cancer.  Please select the answer that best describes your experience.  There are no right or wrong answers.
