Abstract
Using in-depth interviews, this paper explores the nature and sources of cancer-specific distress among 51 posttreatment adult leukemia and lymphoma survivors (LLS), focusing on the role of lifespan stage in shaping reported stressors. LLS (all ages) reported physical aftereffects of cancer treatment, with reported sources of emotional and financial distress varying by lifespan stage. Young adult survivors (18–39) reported a greater number of distress sources. Distress may persist up to 4 years posttreatment, particularly among younger LLS, who appear to be at greater risk of distress in multiple domains.
