摘要
Receiving a breast cancer diagnosis at a young age has the potential to affect survivors' worldview and raise existential concerns. This qualitative study of 13 women diagnosed with breast cancer before the age of 40 examined how they made meaning of the impact of their cancer experience. Implementing the consensual qualitative research methodology, the authors found themes related to challenges; coping strategies; reappraisal of self, relationships with others, and life roles; and changes in views and behaviors. These findings suggest the utility of existential counseling for young breast cancer survivors' adjustment posttreatment as they attempt to cultivate a sense of control.
