The end of the survival journey
1National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, MD, USA.
Objectives:
To review the problems encountered by cancer survivors who face the end of their cancer journey.
Data Sources:
Published review and research articles and textbook chapters.
Conclusions:
The experiences found at the end of the survivorship journey may be exacerbations of previously encountered symptoms and feelings. Achieving physical comfort replaces the goal of controlling the tumor.
Implications For Nursing Practice:
Continued support is needed from the oncology health care team as expertise is sought from hospice or a palliative care team to provide a seamless transition in care.
