Have you recently been diagnosed with lung cancer?

Were you diagnosed with lung cancer within the last 12 months? Have your say about your experiences in the PEARL study - a research programme led by UCL and funded by Cancer Research UK. We're interested in people's experienced of being diagnosed, and we're particularly keen to hear from people who are from Black, Asian and other minority backgrounds living in the UK.

If you take part, you would have a chat with a friendly researcher on the phone, and you would be paid for your time. That's it!

If you're interested in taking part, please do comment below or email me (Georgia Black) on g.black@ucl.ac.uk or Sandra Van Os (s.os@ucl.ac.uk). Thanks!

Hi Gareth. Thanks for responding. We're really keen on finding some ethnic minority participants at the minute, but we may still be able to include you. Could you please email me at g.black@ucl.ac.uk and we can take it from there?

I'd be happy to help. I'm a white male aged 75, though. Also pone conversations are difficult as I've lost my voice and have to use a squawk-box.
