Have you just received the BRIGHTLIGHT survey?

Why have I been sent the BRIGHTLIGHT survey?

You have received a survey because you have recently been diagnosed with cancer.

What is BRIGHTLIGHT?

BRIGHTLIGHT_2021 is a research study designed to find out if it matters where young people with cancer are treated and how cancer impacts on your everyday life. We will use this information to design and improve future cancer services for young people.

The BRIGHTLIGHT Survey

The survey has been designed by young people with cancer to make sure we ask about things important to you. These include:

  • Quality of life – how well you feel and how cancer impacts your life
  • Social support – how you feel your relationships with friends and family have been impacted.
  • Illness perception – how well or ill you think you are
  • Anxiety and depression – whether your cancer has impacted your mental health
  • Experience of care – what you think of how you were treated.
