Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer that affects about 7000 people in Sweden annually. Through frequent screenings, the healthcare system tries to detect the disease early to be able to treat it. Healthcare professionals thus have a great responsibility to help patients with their well-being. Aim: To describe patients' experiences of being cared for breast cancer. Method: The method in this thesis is an analysis of 13 qualitative articles through a literature review according to Evans' synthesis. Results: In the results, two themes were identified: Possibility of trust and uncertainty in lifestyle. Based on these themes, four subthemes could be identified: The experience of feeling safe, the experience of hope, the experience of worry and the experience of changed self-image. Based on these, a clear need was identified among the patients to receive well-developed care where they were met with respect and warmth to maintain their health throughout the course of the illness. Conclusion: The conclusions that can be drawn from the thesis are that it is necessary to continue active work to support patients affected by breast cancer to counteract mental illness in this patient group. Keywords: Breast cancer, experience, healthcare professionals, literature review, patient.
