Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We studied the psychosocial problems and countermeasures in advanced/recurrent colorectal cancer patients receiving long-term chemotherapy. The patients were surprised and regretful that they had advanced/recurrent cancer and had not achieved early detection and treatment. Since they could only stay alive by receiving treatment, they suffered from anxiety about disease progression and mentioned that it was easy to become depressed. The patients tried not to verbalize their feelings to their families and others. Treatment forced some patients to quit work. Nevertheless, they tried to overcome their problems. They coped with anxiety. They selected therapy and received it positively. They considered some symptoms of anticancer therapy inevitable and acted as if these symptoms were minor. They felt grateful for surviving and for family support. Patients with progressive disease who continue treatment are fighting a war by themselves and must try to overcome various problems.
