Abstract
Liver cancer patients face issues involving finiteness and approaching death; and may question one’s attitudes, values, and goals that lead to concerns regarding the meaning in life. Interpretive phenomenology focuses on the uniqueness of one’s experience and facilitates the understanding of internally and processed meaning among liver cancer patients.
