The close families of the head and neck cancer patients in postoperative acute phase, who face more problems associated with deterioration in communication competence and change of facial appearance compared to other cancer patients. Semistructured interviews were conducted to collect the thoughts of the family dealing with surgery, which were analyzed using KJ method. The results from the interviews were labeled and coded. Consequently, five subcategories; “Peace”, “Relief”, “Joy”, “Gratitude” and “Sense of accomplishment” were summarized in positive thoughts. Similarly, seven subcategories; “Fear”, “Sadness”, “Sympathy”, “Confusion”, “Anxiety” and “Desire for empathy” in negative thoughts. From this study, it was found that the close families have many feelings they usually do not express, and they support the patients going through the high risk treatment with great efforts and self-control. The information gained in this study could be used to further develop appropriate help and support for both patients and their families.
