We are inviting Australian women cancer survivors* aged 18 years and above to complete an anonymous online survey to help us better understand long-term side-effects from cancer and cancer treatment by sharing your experiences with us.

The aim of this research is to understand how many women experience long-term side-effects from cancer and cancer treatment which may include fatigue, menopausal symptoms, hot flushes, sleep disturbances, sexual dysfunction and more. It also aims to understand from women who experience these side-effects, how their daily life is impacted, how their side-effects are managed, and if more help is needed. The findings from this survey will help us to develop strategies to support a broad range of women cancer survivors who experience these long-term side-effects.

Participating in this study involves completing an anonymous online survey. The survey takes around 20-40 minutes to complete. Participation is voluntary and you can stop the survey at any time. We aim to recruit 2568 participants from all types of cancers so please consider contributing to this important research by completing the survey.
