Watch and Worry? How are the support needs of people living with newly diagnosed chronic haematological malignancies being addressed?

这个拟议的项目直接关注人们的血癌经历，包括他们的诊断和获得医疗保健的经历。因此，拟议的项目直接符合WR DTP福利、健康和社区（WHC）途径提出的重大挑战。该项目旨在探索未经治疗的新诊断的慢性血癌患者的经历。鉴于越来越多的人患有癌症，对慢性和隐性癌症（如血癌）的研究势在必行。通过关注慢性形式的癌症，拟议的项目直接符合世界卫生组织关注限制生命的健康状况的途径。该项目独特地位于社会学和STEM学科之间，因此有望对慢性癌症患者的护理产生重大影响，从而与世界卫生组织关注健康发明的途径保持一致。

This proposed project focuses directly on people's experiences of bloodcancer including their experiences of diagnosis and access to healthcare.In doing so the proposed project fits directly with the grand challengesposed by the WR DTP Wellbeing, Health and Communities (WHC)pathway. The proposed project aims to explore the experiences of peopleliving with untreated, newly diagnosed chronic blood cancer. Given thatmore and more people are living with cancer it is imperative that researchon chronic and hidden cancers (such as blood cancers) is conducted. Byfocusing on chronic forms of cancer the proposed project fits directly withthe WHC pathway focus on life-limiting health conditions. The project isuniquely situated across sociology and STEM subjects and as such ispoised to have a substantial impact on the care of those living with chroniccancer, thereby aligning with the WHC pathways focus on health invention.
