INTRODUCTION: Every day, in Girona, 11 people are diagnosed with cancer. A
diagnosis of cancer can mean a radical change in a person's life at all levels. For
some people living with cancer means: resilience; rediscovering emotions; being
a consequence of treatment; and from March 2020, in addition, living a
confinement and a pandemic because of Covid-19. On March 11, 2020, the WHO
decreed a global pandemic because of the emergency situation resulting from
the SARS-CoV-2 virus infection. Fear, uncertainty, anxiety and concern were
feelings provoked by the situation. Health systems were severely affected and
had to adapt to the wave of people affected by the virus. All non-urgent operations
were stopped, outpatient services were suspended and disease screening
programs, among others, were halted. A lot of people stopped going to health
centers for fear of Covid-19 infection. And many vulnerable people, such as
people diagnosed with cancer, became more vulnerable.
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to explore how people diagnosed with
cancer and undergoing some form of active treatment experienced those months.
What new feelings arose or what feelings were aggravated. What perception they
had of the performance of the health systems and whether they believe that their
needs were covered
