Were you diagnosed with early breast cancer in October/November 2018? We need your assistance

Hi everyone,

As most of you will be aware, BCNA's My Journey online tool was launched in October 2018. It was developed to help people diagnosed with breast cancer access the most up-to-date breast cancer information specific to their needs. BCNA is really keen to understand the tool’s usefulness for people who have only recently been diagnosed so TH?NK Global is helping BCNA run user testing for the tool.

We will be running focus groups in February but to help us prepare for these focus groups we will be running an individual interview with someone who meets the following criteria:

·         was diagnosed with early breast cancer in October/November 2018

·         has signed up to use My Journey online tool

·         can participate in an hour long interview at TH?NK GLOBAL’s South Melbourne office on 25 January (TH?NK Global is flexible about time of day).

During the interview, you’ll be asked about what information and support is of key importance when newly diagnosed and for feedback about the My Journey online tool so that we can make sure it’s as relevant and helpful as possible.

The session will be audiotaped, but feedback will be kept confidential.

We appreciate that the first month following diagnosis can be particularly busy and overwhelming but if any of you who have been recently diagnosed feel this is something you could assist us with please private message me.

Whilst we only need one person for the interview we will need further participants for the focus group so it would be great to hear from you if you are interested in participating in the group.  This will be held in the week starting 11th February, again in South Melbourne.
