Questions on patient’s perspectives | Patient’s answers |
Patient’s own feelings | I feel very upset, anxious and sad. I already passed through cancer in the past and now I have to face it again. Why is this happening to me? |
Patient’s sorrow for her family | My husband accompanies me to the hospital for visits and exams, but our life is devastated for the second time |
Patient’s discomfort for treatments | I really don’t like these injections every day and I can’t pay someone to do it for me; therefore, my husband has to do it. During infusions I feel very weak |
Patient’s complaints | I feel exhausted and for every effort I need my husband’s help, because of “missing air” sensation. I can’t breathe properly |
Patient’s life insights | I hope the oncological treatments will help me. I should ask for psychological support. Now a second evil is in my lungs and all these complications are worsening my belief in life anymore |
