Steph,

Cancer has had a huge affect on my family.
I think the way you've gone about writting the questions was a little insenstive.

Sorry i could not help you.

Some questions real touchy-touchy. Otherwise i would have got everyone in my family to fill it out.

I'm not critisising your work- please dont take it like that. I'm just saying--- if you want more people to fill this out then perhaps you should be a little less... full on.

Thankyou.
Sorry i was not huge help

Good Luck with your IRP

i understand your view but i knwo how it feels to have cancer in the family my grand mother has been fighting it for like 6 years now and i have had friends who have died because of it ... cacer is a personal issue and i did not mkake my question thats touchy ... people constantly think about all the bad things cancer has affected in their life so im sure answering a few questions wont be to bad ... thanx for your view and i understand what you are saying but i did do alot of reach and back up on the topic including showing the questions to professionals in cancer centers and to those who provide assistance to families ... and it is not like i am asking participants to write their name, age and address down or gender because then it is getting to personal ... most people are willing to talk about the expriences they have had by cancer and the way it has changed their life not just for the bad but the good ... in the long run it makes a family come together and ppl become aware of the important things in life
