 To clarify cancer survivors' process of playing to their strengths to fulfill their lives after experiencing recurrence/metastasis, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 14 cancer survivors who had been told that the disease recurred/metastasized and were receiving treatment at the time of the study. The obtained data were analyzed using the modified grounded theory approach.

 Such a process in these cancer survivors was summarized into “overcoming distress due to uncertainty” and “living a limited life with mindfulness”.

 While facing “distress due to cancer”, the cancer survivors relied on “their belief in life”, and made “effort to survive”, which provided them with a basis for maintaining self-confidencein doing their best. Maintaining such self-confidence and using their “resistance to deal with the menace of cancer” and “strength to step forward” were their measures for“ taking their mind off cancer” and “overcoming distress due to uncertainty”.

 Even in the midst of “distress due to cancer”, the cancer survivors used mindfulness to develop by “estimating their remaining lives”. Using their “ability to protect their daily lives”, in addition to “thoughts to live a life without regrets”, they developed “insight into feasible activities”, which led to “self-recognition”. Supported by such recognition, they established, consequently “living a limited life with mindfulness”.
