Abstract

Employing a qualitative approach about the lived experiences of cancer warriors, this paper delved into the perceptions of pediatric cancer patients towards cancer, their coping mechanisms, changes that they experienced and their motivations and aspirations that served as their strengths for continuing their treatment. Eight informants were interviewed using the interview guide that was validated and pilot tested.
