Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Telephone questionnaire.

Each participant will do the questionnaire once. The questionnaire will take approximately 30 minutes.

The first few questions are to check that the interview is right for the participant. The next questions are for general information on age, location (postcode only) and some general information about health insurance and where the participant was treated (public or private hospital).
The rest of the questions will ask about:
* Breast cancer diagnosis
* What things the particpant thought about, or might think about, to help them decide whether or not to have chemotherapy before breast cancer surgery
* What treatments the participant had for their breast cancer
* What were their worries and concerns while they were having treatment for breast cancer
* What information women should have, before deciding whether or not to have chemotherapy before breast cancer surgery.

Some questions will have different answers to choose from and others also allow for comments to be made.

Ten to twenty interviews will be conducted to identify the majority of relevant issues. The aim is for issue saturation, where no major new issues are raised in three consecutive interviews.

Statistical methods / analysis
The primary analysis will include all registered participants.
Interviews will be transcribed and analysed thematically using Nvivo (Registered Trademark) qualitative research software. Participants will continue to be enrolled and interviewed until thematic saturation has occurred, indicated by no major new issues being identified in 3 consecutive interviews.
Thematic analysis will involve the researchers reading and re-reading transcripts to identify mutually exclusive themes. Initially two researchers will read five transcripts and code independently. They will then meet to discuss and resolve discrepancies, documenting refined coding rules. A draft thematic structure will be constructed and applied to the remaining transcripts. Where necessary, new themes will be identified and applied retrospectively to transcripts coded earlier. Characteristic quotes illustrating each theme will be identified.

Summary
Brief summary
The study aims to identify relevant issues and information needs of women who have considered or have had neoadjuvant chemotherapy treatment within the last five years for initially operable cancer, and incorporate them into a prospective questionnaire and decision aid for women diagnosed with operable breast cancer considering neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Who is it for?
You may be eligible to join this study if you are aged over 18 years, have had a diagnosis of invasive breast cancer in the last 5 years, have been offered or have discussed neoadjuvant chemotherapy as a treatment option and have completed a surgical intervention for breast cancer.

Trial details
Participants in this study will be interviewed once over the phone to identify the issues faced and their prevalence and impact on decision making, and the level of distress associated with treatment for women who have considered or have had neoadjuvant chemotherapy treatment within the last five years for initially operable breast cancer. The findings will be incorporated into a prospective questionnaire and subsequent decision aid for women considering neoadjuvant chemotherapy for operable breast cancer.
