Cancer is a deadly disease that puts not only physical and financial
pressure on the patient but also even more psychological pressure.
Physical deterioration in health and financial losses are easy to see
but the psychological effects are not as visible; however, the
psychological aspects are an important component in measuring any
patient’s Quality of Life (QoL, or balance between physical,
psychological, social, and spiritual components). The present study is
a small step in the direction of measuring QoL of cancer patients and
the potential positive impact of changes in counselling. The
association between QoL and other parameters, especially fear, leads
to the recommendation to set up counselling centres at each hospital
in its oncology department.
