You can participate in this study if you have received treatment for a cancer diagnosis in the past 24 months. Researchers from Monash University are conducting a survey that aims to identify the current practice of oncology nursing education in Australia. It intends to identify if a consistent and holistic approach to education is being provided and what factors may prevent this from occurring. The survey will explore your experience in relation to the education you received by oncology nurses prior to commencing your initial treatment for your cancer diagnosis. At the conclusion of the survey, you will be taken to a second survey to register your interest to participant in a focus group to discuss your experiences. If you decide to leave your contact details, the researchers will follow up with you and provide further information on what is involved in the focus group. You would then need to provide written consent to participate.

Finding My Way-Advanced was one of the first self-guided web-based programs designed to improve wellbeing for people with metastatic breast cancer. Flinders University are now seeking participants to take part in Finding My Way-Advanced+, which aims to test whether adding human support and/or guidance to Finding My Way-Advanced, improves how much people use, and benefit from, the program. The aim is to find out whether guidance improves engagement with the program and outcomes, such as quality of life and distress, and if this differs by whether people received guidance via email, phone-call, or video-call. Recruitment is open for 12 months, with the closing date expected to be mid-2026. You can particpate in this program if you are a person who has been diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. If you are interested, simply complete the following baseline survey and the researchers will be in contact with you shortly; https://redcap.link/findingmywayadvancedplus.

Hormone treatments, tamoxifen and tendonitis
Hi there, I'm very new to this, but wondering if anyone has experience of tamoxifen and tendonitis? I've had two different types of breast cancer, but one side was HER2Positive so since January this year I have been on anastrozole. In late July I got extremely painful tendon damage - a torn and swollen hamstring tendon near my seatbone, so it really hurts to sit, and two other gluteal tendons with tendinopathy as well - no idea what set these problems off, but discovered that anastrozole, in reducing oestrogen, weakens tendons. My Oncologist said suspend it, so I haven't been taking it since early August. She later offered me a script for Tamoxifen instead. As Tamoxifen also is designed to reduce oestrogen I am wondering whether I should switch to it or not? I don't want a breast cancer recurrence, but my life quality at the moment is much affected by the tendon problem which is not healing very quickly at all. It's going to take many many months I think. If I take tamoxifen now will I slow down the healing? What should I do? Anyone out there had any experience with tamoxifen and tendons? Thanks for any experience you can share with me!!!
