Abstract
Cancer not only affects the physical body of the individual, but also the
mind. Psychological Adjustment could be named as psychosocial adaptation and it
is an ongoing process. The survivor who has optimum psychological adjustment
manages his or her distress and problems well which helps them to manage the life
events. It is a continuing process accompanied by multiple coping strategies. How
the individual is trying to use the resources such as resiliency, support from the
significant members in life, intra and inter personal relationships makes a lot of
difference in how they cope. This research is an attempt to know those factors
which helps the survivors to cope better in their life.
