In this article, we summarized the psychological care processes of a terminal cancer patient in a hospice ward. The processes brought us to concern about the critical issue of terminal cancer patients' goal adjustment. After cancer diagnosed, patients might face the gap between staying health and reality. In particular, when the recurrence and progression of cancer threaten their lives, patients will suffer lots of difficulties in reaching original goals. If terminal patients kept their goals to stay health and cure rather than adjusting their goals properly with the object statement of illness, they might be reluctant and angry. On the contrary, if terminal patients adjusted their goals properly, not only based on their current disease statement but also on the basis of continuing the value of life and complete themselves, they might get more psychological well-beings and come to a good dying.
