'It's always in the back of my mind': understanding the psychological impact of recovery following pancreaticoduodenectomy for cancer: a qualitative study
CONCLUSIONS: Patients should be made aware of potential psychological sequelae, and that treatment completion may trigger the need for more support. Clinical nurse specialists (CNSs) were identified as key members of the team in proactively offering support; further training for CNSs should be encouraged. Understanding patients' experience of living with cancer and the impact of treatment is crucial in enabling the development of improved support interventions.PMID:34916310 | DOI:10.1136/bmjopen-2021-050016
