Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer the world over. With advances in treatment and early stage detection of cancer, there are a growing number of women who survive breast cancer for many years after treatments like mastectomy and chemotherapy/radiation. A cancer diagnosis is traumatic as it can be life threatening, necessitating a reorganization of life’s assumptions and goals. As survivors begin to understand their illness experience, they often re-examine the meaning they attach to their existence. Though it can be very stressful, positive transformative changes are also reported by survivors as a result of their experience with cancer. Posttraumatic Growth (PTG) is most evident as positive adaptive changes seen in individuals who have struggled with highly challenging events. This growth can be described in five major domains: seeing new possibilities, changed relationships (improved), being stronger despite feeling vulnerable, greater appreciation for life, changes in spiritual and existential domains. This paper is an attempt to elaborate on the concept of Posttraumatic Growth in the context of surviving breast cancer.
