Dealing with problems arising from cancer and its treatment: An online survey for UK residents

How do you deal with problems following cancer and its treatment? If you have completed initial cancer treatment in the last 12 months (e.g. Surgery, Chemotherapy, Hormone and/or Radiotherapy) we'd like to invite you to take part in our online survey. We want to find out the ways that people deal with cancer and treatment related problems once treatment is over. Establishing this will help us to identify people who are most likely to have difficulty dealing with problems so that these people can be supported appropriately. This survey is funded by Macmillan Cancer Support and is being conducted by researchers at the University of Southampton. The survey is open now for a limited time.
