Self-image When I looked at myself from the mirror, I don’t know if that’s really me. (Mrs. D) I feel that I’m different from others. I’m different from those who are normal. That is, those women whose appearance or bodies are perfect. For myself, I’m imperfect. I had the surgery and lost one side (of the breast). (Mrs. A) I think my body changes had affected me the most. I gained a lot of weight. I lost my self-confidence as I am so fat. (Mrs. C) Regaining normalcy My friends didn’t know I had cancer. I didn’t want to tell them. I don’t want them to pay attention to me. If they don’t know you are sick, they’ll treat you as a normal person. They will ask you out. Otherwise, I would be left out as they thought you can’t do anything since you are sick. (Mrs. G) I think that keeping things under routine is the most helpful for me. I don’t want any special attention. It’s too artificial. It’s better for them (her family) to treat me as usual, just like the ‘previous’ mother, the ‘previous wife’ and ‘the previous’ me. Otherwise, I would feel like a patient. (Mrs. C) Lam WWT, Fielding R. The evolving experience of illness for Chinese women with breast cancer: a qualitative study. Psycho-oncology (2003) 12:127-140

Physical symptom burden among cancer survivors
Slide 11-

Class 1: No symptom burden Class 2: Pain, fatigue, numbness insomnia, & itchy skin Class 3: Multiple oral- digestive symptom burden Class 4: Multiple somatic and emotional symptom burden Class 5: Multiple physical symptoms burden
Slide 12-

One in two cancer survivors experienced multiple symptom burden. Predominately pain, fatigue, neuropathy, sleep disturbance, and dry mouth. Greater symptom burden was associated with psychological distress, as well as inadequate support in managing physical and daily living at home. Effective symptom assessment and management in early post-treatment survivorship are essential in minimize preventable distress.
Slide 13-

Can Wellness Industry offer support to cancer survivors? Non-pharmaceutical intervention is preferred alternative in managing residual physical symptom burden. Physical exercise is effective in relieving physical symptoms such as pain, fatigue, and sleep disturbance. Cancer survivors report lack of confidence in performing physical activity. Yoga incorporates gentle movements, breathing and meditation techniques could be an alternative, improving physical and psychological well-being, thereby, regaining normalcy.
