Young, single and treated for breast cancer: making sense of my sexuality

I am a postgraduate Counselling student at Chester University, and I am also a Breast Cancer Care volunteer.

I am carrying out a research project, exploring the impact of a breast cancer diagnosis on sexuality, in younger, single women. 

Sexuality may include areas such as body image, dating and relationships, libido (sex drive), early menopause, fertility.

I am looking for:

  • younger women (under 45 at diagnosis)
  • at least 3 years post diagnosis 
  • who have been single at some point since their diagnosis

Taking part in the study will involve an hour long face-to-face interview to tell your story.  I am based in Cheshire, so ideally am looking for participants in the North-West.

Please read the attached document which gives all the information for participants.

If you are interested in taking part, and would like to find out more, please contact me at:

Thank you
