Abstract
Few qualitative studies explore patients’ experience due to receiving chemotherapy agents. Issues, such as how such changes impact daily life and functioning, their consequences, and how patients respond to chemotherapy changes, have not previously been systematically addressed. This is a qualitative-research, case study approach which describes the experiences to chemotherapy among women with breast cancer. Data were collected through face-to-face, semi-structured interview guide approach with each of the participants. Holloway’s Strategy was used subsequently to analyze the data. The data emerged a trajectory consisting of the effects of chemotherapy on the physical health, social, emotional, and spiritual aspects of women with breast cancer. In conclusion, there is relief in that their stories were heard with appreciation, their lives gained more value, and meaning to people who matter most to them. It is recommended that breast cancer education and information campaign should be intensified. It should not only include the signs and symptoms for its early detection, the various treatment and their side effects and selfcare to be practiced correctly but also to present these in a positive perspective through the stories of hope, strength, and love of the cancer survivors.
