 We aimed to examine the life experiences of breast cancer patients with malignant fungating wounds.

 Four patients with fungating wounds who were receiving chemotherapy in the outpatient department of a cancer treatment core hospital were interviewed concerning their life life experiences before their first contact with the doctor and also from the time of diagnosis through their treatment period. Data was analyzed using qualitative induction.

 Patient experiences before their initial consultation were grouped into five categories: “Experiencing physical and mental deterioration”, “Attempting to control physical changes to continue daily life”, “Building a wall and hiding feelings inside”, “Accepting one's fate and cherishing beliefs”, “Beginning to suspect that this could be cancer”. Experiences from the time of diagnosis through the treatment period were grouped into four categories: “Feeling easier to live than before treatment”, “Learning to depend on others and social resources”, “Feeling uneasy and anxious about treatment and side effects” and “Appreciating life and wishing to live better than before”.

 On the basis of these results, the importance of proactive wound care to control odor and exudate founded on a respect for patients' own beliefs, an understanding of the complex, tough experience and also an assessment of patient-family relationships to enhance social support were indicated.
