Post Cancer Questionnaire

As a Health Coach and a cancer thriver myself, I would like to support people who have completed cancer treatment. My aim is to help people post treatment take control of their health to reduce the risk of recurrence as well as regain self-confidence.

Your answers will help me serve our community and gain a better understanding of what people need and want to help them thrive after cancer.
In what year were you born?
How long ago did you complete treatment?
1. When you finished your treatment, how did you feel? Please list all your emotions.
2. Did the whole process make you angry in any way, and if so what were you angry about? Who were you angry at?
3. Are there things that you are still afraid of regarding your health?
4. Were you given any support or knowledge to reduce your risk of recurrence? If you were given some, was it enough to make you feel confident that you have reduced your risk of recurrence? If you were not given any, how did this make you feel?
5. Have you made any changes to your lifestyle post treatment? If so what were they? At what point did you start making these changes? (How long after your treatment ended?)
6. If you didn't make any changes were there any reasons for this? (Absolutely no judgement)
7. Looking back at yourself post treatment what were your desires, how did you want to feel?
Would you have paid for a service to help you feel safe and healthy as well as reduce the anxiety and risk of recurrence?
Please could you rate each statement if this is how you felt post cancer treatment on a scale of 1 to 5 (1= I disagree to 5= I strongly agree)

Feel free to add anything else that you feel is relevant.
How do you feel about the term 'cancer survivor'? Why do you feel the way you do about it? Are there other terms you prefer eg 'cancer thriver'?
Thanks for taking the time to reflect on your cancer experience. Looking back what have you learnt about yourself? What lessons have you been able to take from you cancer journey?
Thanks so much for completing this. I realise this may have been difficult to answer these questions. I really appreciate you taking the time to reflect.

Warm wishes,
