| Popis: | The study analyzed the clinical observation of the psychological characteristics of a woman diagnosed with breast cancer, who refused part of the proposed therapy, and had no contraindications to start special treatment.Patient Yu.F., born in 1953, diagnosis: cancer of the right breast T1NxM0 ЭР(95 %), ПР(15 %), Her2neu(0), Ki67 (5 %), refused for personal reasons from the surgical treatment proposed at the 1st stage (a written refusal was taken), in connection with which a course of hormone therapy was prescribed, a course of remote radiation therapy according to a radical program. When assessing the psychological profile of the patient, the data obtained demonstrate the presence of paradoxical hyperprotection in the patient who refused part of the treatment. Her psychological profile is similar to the psychological characteristics of women with breast cancer, whose course of the disease ended in death. In a study conducted in 2021, data were obtained on women with a negative outcome of the disease (death), who were convinced of their own luck and in the ability to control what was happening, used a wide range of coping strategies, were more resilient, are optimistic and had a pronounced internality in comparison with women in whom the disease went into stable remission. |
