description Fifty women receiving adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery for Stage II breast carcinoma were interviewed in an effort to describe the psychosocial effect of the treatment. Perceptions of emotional distress and behaviorial disruption were rated in five areas, yielding a rating of overall level of disruption and distress. Results showed that all women experienced adverse changes while receiving adjuvant treatments. Of the 50 women, 88% described a decrease in activities related to the effects of adjuvant chemotherapy; 54% reported an increased financial burden; and 41% claimed that their family and/or sexual life had been adversely affected. Despite these adverse changes, 74% of these patients “would definitely” recommend the treatment to friends in a similar situation. Results from this preliminary study may provide useful information to potential participants in adjuvant trials and to the physicians who conduct such trials.
