We thought you would like to know that there is a research group recruiting caregivers for an online "bulletin board" extended forum about breast cancer treatment. Please note that a caregiver does not need to live with the patient. A caregiver is defined as a family member or friend who helps a breast cancer patient at least 3 times a week. A spouse is also considered a caregiver.

The extended forums will take place over six weeks from June 27th through August 7th. We would be asking participants to share information on the progression and treatment of their loved one's condition, as well as their feelings related to their loved one's condition.

We recognize that dealing with breast cancer can be challenging and that you may not be interested in participating in this research. If that is the case, please delete this email.

A bulletin board is an online forum where respondents can log in to chat and answer questions posted by a moderator. Questions will be posted each week for 6 weeks and a moderator will be reviewing your responses and asking any additional questions that may come up. We ask that participants access the board at their own convenience each week, for about 45 minutes per week. The boards can be accessed anytime day or night to post thoughts, or add any additional comments, etc. Also, not all questions need to be answered at the same time. You can always return to the bulletin boards later in the week to finish responding to the questions posted.

To thank you for your participation we will send you cash honorariums every three weeks: $70 after the first three weeks and $110 after the second three weeks for a total of $180 over the full six weeks, if you qualify and complete the research.

In order to participate in this panel, you must be the caregiver of a patient who has been diagnosed with Her2+ metastatic (stage IV) breast cancer.

If you are available to participate June 27 - August 7, and are interested in participating, please send an email directly to HQRRec@harrisinteractive.net (HQRRec@harrisinteractive.net?subject=NexCura_J269 68), including "NexCura" and the code "J26968" in the subject line with the following information:


Your first and last name
Your preferred telephone number (including area code and time zone) to be contacted to see if you qualify
The most convenient time of day to contact you
A Harris Interactive representative will contact you by telephone within the next few days to ask you a few additional questions to ensure that you meet our study qualifications.

Thank you for your interest in this research!
