‘He Never Liked Sport Anyway’ - Mother's Views of Young People Coping With a Bone Tumour in the Lower Limb

Abstract

Purpose: Treatment for a bone tumour can compromise quality of life (QOL), especially for young patients. We used qualitative methods to assess mothers' views of patients' experiences and their coping strategies at approximately 6 months after diagnosis (T1: n=12) and 12–18 months later (T2: n=11).
