What patients with advanced cancer experience as helpful in navigating their life with a long-term response: a qualitative study
ConclusionUsing different coping strategies enables LTRs to acknowledge both their sick and healthy side. Striking a healthy balance between being oriented on feeling sick or feeling healthy can help LTRs and their close others to navigate life with a long-term response. Healthcare professionals can provide support by recognizing whether LTRs are oriented at feeling sick or healthy, and by actively involving close others during medical appointments.
