No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study (FORECAST 2) builds upon the work of the successful pilot study (FORECAST) that found some evidence that breast cancer patients' fears of cancer recurrence (FCR) were sensitive to the communication exchange with therapeutic radiographers during weekly review appointments. The aim of FORECAST 2 is to co-design and pilot a communication training package for therapeutic radiographers to help them manage emotional talk with breast cancer patients who are undergoing treatment, with the intention to minimise patients' development of FCR during this trajectory.
