Funded Activity Summary

A sociological study of cancer. This project aims to study the experiences of Australian women with advanced, incurable breast cancer, including their illness, wellness and survivorship experiences. It will examine how women negotiate the uncertainties of survivorship and the knowledge of clinical terminality. Focusing on women who seek to live with, rather than die from, cancer is expected to advance sociological understandings of uncertainty, insecurity and biographical and social complexity and provide end-user, translatable knowledge for improving care and support for women.
