Themes | Examples of respondents’ feedback |
---|---|
Education | “I often go to WebMD to do my own research, but I find it hard to understand if what I’m reading applies to me or not.” |
Self-management | “It was so frustrating. After cancer I would get tired so easily, even when doing simple chores. Then someone suggested yoga which helped a lot”. |
Adherence | “It hasn’t been easy since I got home. I’m trying to catch up with everything I missed at home and work, on top of keeping track of when I have to go back (for follow-up)”. |
Support | “I personally belong to (name of local breast cancer resource center omitted for privacy), so now I have a mentor who is also a survivor and has been through it all. It’s nice knowing I’m not alone and have someone I can talk to”. |
