“…That said, some women reported that they had made a journey of acceptance of the disease and its consequences, and the type of work performed is still the basis of acceptance and commitment therapy [ 18 ]. The cognitive changes in the way of seeing and perceiving pain following psychological support also demonstrate the validity of the theories underlying cognitive–behavioural therapy [ 28 ]. Likewise, cancer narration supporting sensemaking processes may bolster adaptation to the disease [ 32 ].…”

The aim of this qualitative research is to deepen the knowledge in the field of psycho-oncology and the consequences of chronic and persistent pain by listening to patients’ experiences, their emotions and difficulties in facing this hard condition, and assessing their perception of the role of the psychologist in pain management. In this qualitative study, a semistructured interview was used, designed from three research questions: chronic pain and quality of life; chronic pain and psychological well-being; and the role and perception of the psychologist in pain management. The sample consists of 29 women who suffered or have recovered from breast carcinoma, and who currently report having chronic pain due either to the presence of the cancer or as a result of surgery or treatment. Three themes emerged from the thematic analysis: quality of life and psychological well-being, relational well-being, and perception and role of the psychologist. Two subthemes have been identified for each theme: common features of chronic pain and consequences and resilience for the first theme; not feeling understood and willingness to protect loved ones for the second theme; and improvements perceived by users and reasons for not making use of the service for the last theme. In conclusion, the results obtained from the literature and those from the analysis of the interviews are discussed and compared, and reflections are made on possible future implications.

“…Psychotherapy is not only exotherapeutic but also endotherapeutic, because its effects influence the functioning of the central nervous system, as well as subordinate systems. Considering the situation of the oncological patient, it is not uncommon to depart from classical therapeutic methods in favour of alleviating symptoms, providing emotional and instrumental support, as well as motivating for treatment, open communication with the treatment team, or adherence to medical recommendations [3].…”

“…In some, the pain may be more intense due to psychogenic symptoms, while in others it may be the same as the current physical (somatic) condition. In both cases, it is necessary to implement therapies that can eliminate the experienced pain, which significantly reduces the negative consequences both physiologically and psychologically [3,4].…”

Chronic pain is one of the most common and most bothersome symptoms in cancer patients, which occurs especially often in the elderly population. Although methods of pain treatment are well known, it is not uncommon for individuals with chronic or terminal illnesses to remain underdiagnosed or untreated. Effective pain management has become the measure of success in oncology therapy. For this reason, effective pain management has become an indispensable success factor of multidisciplinary oncological therapy. Along with the growing interest in the holistic approach in medicine, and hence in interdisciplinary treatment, the management of cancer pain in older patients was presented.
