Abstract: | Examines ways in which the experience of breast cancer has impacted the theology and the ability to create meaning for 10
female breast cancer patients. Discusses three theological strategies emerging from participant interviews: 1) God causes
cancer for a purpose, 2) God does not cause cancer, but there can still be meaning in illness, and 3) cancer is just part
of life and has no inherent meaning, though meaning can be constructed through the experience. |
