Cancer is a major public health problem in developed and developing countries, deserving increasingly more research in order to promote better quality and humanization of care to patients with this disease. It is estimated that by 2020, the number of new cases per year will be nearly 15 million, of which about 60% occur in developing countries.The adverse effects of chemotherapy may be divided into two groups: acute, beginning minutes after administration of antineoplastic agents and persisting for some days, and late, which appear several weeks or months after the infusion thereof. Having a potentially life-threatening disease like cancer often leads people to examine their lives and look for meaning. In fact, this search for meaning may be the aspect of cancer that most often has a positive influence on life. The fear of death that affects most people when they are diagnosed with cancer, often leads us to think about what we leave behind and what we would like to do with the time we have left. It can make you feel like it’s the quality of life, not just the quantity, which matters most.

QUALITY OF LIFE, CHEMOTHERAPY, LIFE STYLE CHANGES AFTER CANCER.
