What is a good day in the life of a person surviving one of the less survivable cancers?
Published: 20 September 2025
The GoodDay project will give voice to these people, debunk a few myths, improve health equity, and help refocus care to support good moments in life instead only moments of suffering.
The GoodDay project, led by Dr Greg Kotronoulas, aims to understand what ‘a good day’ is in the life of a patient surviving one of the less survivable cancers.
We want to better understand:
• What day-to-day activities, experiences and actions contribute to ‘a good day’.
• Prerequisites and priorities for ‘a good day’.
• What challenges and experiences might turn a good day into ‘a bad day’.
• Changes in meaning attributed to a good/bad day from diagnosis to study participation.
We will use results from this project to educate health professionals and advocate about how best supportive care should look like for this population. We will discuss ways to refocus care to target and support positive life experiences that can improve the wellbeing of people affected by cancer. We will work closely with patient organisations in Europe to maximise the impact of this work.
Partner with us: The GoodDay initiative in cancer care.
