This article describes the nursing experience in caring for a 41-year-old woman with newly diagnosed breast cancer treated with mastectomy and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. The nursing care was implemented from January 30th, 2019 to October 9th, 2019. The overall assessment in the physiological, psychological, sociological, and spiritual aspects was performed. Three major health problems were identified, including anxiety, body image disturbance, and ineffective protection. The patient cried during the initial visit, revealing her deep sense of helplessness in the face of the life-threatening new diagnosis of breast cancer. Patient also exhibited great anxiety about the changes in body image after the operation. The author was motivated to initiate an in-depth exploration of the patient's experience. It was expected that, with the utilization of Swanson's caring theory, the patient could gain positive coping skills, which could get her through the crisis of having cancer. In the nursing process, the author acted as the oncology case manager to povide individualized caring measures. During the diagnostic period, through proactive care, positive therapeutic relationship, encouragement in the expression of feelings, as well as provision of helpful information, the anxiety of the patient regarding the disease and treatment was reduced. During the treatment period, through listening, companionship, guidance in the expression and integration of feelings about the changes in body image, and encouragement in the participation in patient support group, the patient was able to face and accept the fact of her physical changes. The author utilized professional knowledge to provide correct information on the disease and treatment, as well as improve the patient's self-care skills during chemotherapy. During the follow-up period, the author provided continuous care through in-person and telephone interviews, which helped the patient to regain her original role functions. The importance of regular follow-up visits was also reinforced. During the whole process, communication and coordination skills of an oncology case manager were adopted. Furthermore, continuous nursing consultation was provided and fragmented care was integrated. The patient was referred to relevant resources and her status was reported to the medical team in a timely manner as well. The patient was able to cope with the impact of the cancer diagnosis. She had successfully completed the treatment. It is hoped that this nursing experience could serve as a helpful reference to other nursing staffs in caring for similar patients in the future.
