A diagnosis of cancer can be distressing and the experience of the disease, treatment and the uncertainty and anxiety that often come with it can have negative psychological consequences. There are certain trigger points along the pathway of cancer that can be particularly distressing and create feelings of anxiety, fear and worry. Even when cancer has been treated successfully some people find it hard to get back to how they were before because of fear of the cancer returning or the impact the whole experience has had on them.
The applied health research team want to do some research that will look at different ways of supporting people depending on their psychological needs. The research will look at what is the best way to deliver the right support for everyone. It aims to help people with cancer related distress, anxiety, fear of cancer recurrence and some related cognitive issues.
How can you get involved?
At this stage we would like to hear from people who have been affected by cancer, to understand their experience of psychological symptoms. We would also like to know what support they were offered and what was helpful. Please fill out the survey below and help guide our research.
Moving forward we would like people to join us and work alongside the researchers to make sure the research we produce is patient centred, see more information on this in the Advisory group role description document on the right of this page.

Living with cancer can cause fear, worry and anxiety. We want to find better ways of supporting people through these feelings so that they get the right help at the right time.
We are starting to think about how we design a programme of research projects to develop better psychological support for people with cancer, to help people cope with their diagnosis and treatment. To help us shape our study, we need help from people who have lived experience of having cancer or undergoing cancer treatments. If this describes you, and you would like to provide your views, we would love you to take part in our survey below.
