Fear of cancer recurrence – getting the right support

We now have funding for a research project looking at the fear of cancer recurrence (cancer coming back). Thank you for your contributions to the ideas board below.
We want to support as many patients as we can with their fear of cancer recurrence. This is especially important for people for whom it is impacting their day to day lives. However resources to provide this support are limited. We want to look at how we can support more people.
We want to test using a tool to assess people’s level of fear of cancer recurrence. This tool will be trialled in lymphoma, testicular and melanoma patients aged between 18-39. The reason for choosing this age group is that research suggests that younger adults are at greater risk of higher levels of fear of cancer recurrence. The tool consists of a set of questions, and people will then be given a low, moderate or high level result. This will determine the support people receive.
The research will be focused on the support given to the ‘moderate’ group. The ‘high’ group will be referred to the Adult Psychological Support Service. We want to look at how the ‘moderate’ group can be supported by their clinical nurse specialist using techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy. We want to see whether this support can lower patients’ fear of cancer recurrence.
