What is the purpose of this research?

We want to help people who get side effects from cancer treatment. We are looking at what people eat before they start and during cancer treatment, and whether it affects their side effects. This can help us find ways of eating that may stop side effects or make them easier to handle.

Are you looking for people like me?

We are looking for people in Queensland who are about to start cancer treatment.

What will you ask me to do?

You will be asked to complete two surveys online (on the internet) that take about 30-45 minutes and participate in two optional short video calls with us.

Will I be compensated for my time?

You will have the chance to go in a random draw to win one of 20 gift cards (worth $50 each).

I am interested - what should I do next?
