Twenty-one women between the ages of twenty-eight and sixty-five who were surgically treated for breast cancer in the prior three months were interviewed using a semi-structured format. Interviews were audiotaped and transcribed verbatim. Data analysis included line-by-line coding, identification of categories, and description of an overall process which was entitled "Managing the Experience." This overall process is composed of three categories: Planning for the Experience, Navigating the Experience, and Evolving into the Future. Each of these categories are composed of sub-categories which further describe women's responses. The category entitled "Planning for the Experience" describes women's efforts to prepare for surgery and other treatment activities. Included in this category are three subcategories: Processing Information, Choosing Personal Support, and Ensuring Comfort with the Health Care Team. The second category entitled "Navigating the Experience" describes the emotional responses of women, their efforts to maintain routine within their lives and that of their families, and their desire for someone to assist them in navigating the entire breast cancer experience. The second category has three subcategories: Responding Emotionally, Maintaining Routine, and Seeking a Navigator. The third category entitled "Evolving into the Future" describes women's early awareness of their desire to assist others in similar circumstances and an awareness that breast cancer was beginning to influence personal identity. The third category has two sub-categories: Contributing to Others and Redefining Self. The data clearly indicate that the overall response to the surgical treatment of breast cancer is a dynamic process. Some women described these categories as sequential while others suggested they may be concurrent at times. The description of this process may provide the foundation for further research. Other findings with implications for practice, education and research are: (1) Women received information but often more or less than needed and not appropriate to their unique situation. (2) Women recognized the importance of personal support but continued to focus on others' needs. (3) Women reported a need for an individual to navigate the entire process on their behalf. The knowledge generated from this study offers some immediate implications for practice and requires evaluation for application to specific settings.
