Spirituality, cancer, psycho-oncologyAbstract
A cancer diagnosis, as with any serious illness, raises difficult questions: why me? Why now? Why should I suffer like this? What will happen to me after death? Unfortunately, the solution to these problems is neither immediate nor obvious. Moreover, these questions interfere with the ordered world of spirituality, often questioning existing thoughts in the existential and religious spheres. A diagnosis triggers deep questions about the meaning and purpose of life.
