A peculiar experience- everyday life with chronic sensory disturbances after oxaliplatin treatment for colorectal cancer - a phenomenological study

Conclusion: Sensory disturbances contributed to an ambiguous and discordant perception of an alienated body that was difficult to describe and affected the ability to act and connect to things and other people. Metaphors and drawings were valuable as means to verbalize and illustrate the changed body perception where the 'I can' changed into 'I cannot'. To support the embodied connection to the world new usage patterns were required.PMID:34296981 | DOI:10.1080/17482631.2021.1950889
