Survey Opportunity: How Are You Affected by Cancer

by
9 Comments

LIVESTRONG is conducting an anonymous survey to learn about how cancer has affected people?s lives and we need your help. Whether you’ve had cancer or a loved one has had cancer, we want to hear from you.

LIVESTRONG recognizes that cancer survivors face many obstacles from the point of diagnosis and beyond. We know that cancer impacts individuals other than just the person diagnosed with cancer. This survey includes questions for people who have been impacted by cancer in a number of ways including those who have ever been diagnosed with cancer and those who have never been diagnosed, but have a loved one who has been diagnosed.

Your answers to this survey will help LIVESTRONG improve programs and resources for people affected by cancer. The results of the survey may be presented in written and oral reports and will be used to educate other organizations and researchers about survivorship issues. Survey results will be available in late 2011. Survey results from the 2006 survivorship survey are available on our website.

If you qualify and would like to do so, take the survey at www.livestrong.org/survey2010.

    I’d like to know if you can provide me with information on the treatment options for the affects from Chemobrian? There seems to be so little that my doctors know about relieving the symtoms.
    Thanks,
    Billy

    I was diagnosed with prostate cancer 5 1/2 years ago. I got my PH level above 8 and the cancer went away, worked for me.

    Dad recently diagnosed with Melanoma. Family hit hard but gives us a chance to pull together and rely on our Faith in God. Doctor told us Melanoma “doesn’t play by the rules”, so were trying to figure it all out and move my Dad into “SURVIVOR” mode.

    Please Wanda, don’t give up the hope of healing! Fatigue can be a real motivation zapper, but it in no way means that you are not healing. Keep the faith that you will be strong once again!!!!!!!!!

    May of 1980 my mom had a mastectomy.
    As of today, 6/30/10 she remains cancer free.
    The key for her has been doing volunteer work visiting women at the hospital and in their homes to share with them that there is much more life to live.

    In June 1977 i was 19 had a job, played football for a local team, then whammm! i’d notice a small lump just below my left knee. “sorry mr campbell you have osteosarcoma”, eerr what? “a tumour”, what does that mean? it’s cancer we have to amputate your left leg, no this is not happening i’ve not started living life yet!! The amputation was 2 days later, if i thought that was the end of it i was very wrong, 12 months of chemotherapy followed at 3 week intervals, this was hell on earth, i was also told that the possibility of having children would be limited. Today however i have 3 beautiful children and a beautiful wife. I sometimes wonder how my life would’ve panned out had i not lossed my leg. I don’t think my life would’ve been any better!!
