Are you aged 65 years or older?
Have you had a cancer diagnosis within the last five years?
or
Have you supported someone with cancer within the last five years?
We need your help
The Victorian Care of Older People Clinical Network (VCOP) and the North Eastern Melbourne Integreated Cancer Service (NEMICS) are developing a video to help older people with cancer to:
- Make decisions about their cancer treatment and ongoing care
- Find their way around the health system
- Know where and how to get help, support and information
What would be involved?
- Attend a one-off 90 minute focus group
- Talk about issues relevant to being an older person and your cancer experience
Sharing your experience will help us to make a video that will support others in a similar situation
