To find people's desire for information and their other attitudes when faced with a cancer diagnosis. ⋯ Most people want to be informed of their diagnosis. Neither an urban or rural environment nor having had family members with cancer affects their view. If the person affected by cancer is a family member, very few people favour not telling him/her at all. Sufferers want the doctor to tell them the information, prefer to die at home and pain is what worries them most.
