dc.description.abstractCancer is one of the most dreaded diagnosis, with significant impact on the patient, carer and family. The diagnosis can lead to variety of emotions like confusion, anger, despair and fear. In case of Indigenous peoples, the process of sickness, disease and treatment are all closely related to connection to land, country, family and community. This paper evaluates the different responses recorded as a part of a larger Indigenous Australian study, regarding the feelings and emotions one feels when they hear of cancer (“the Big C”) in the community or family. The evaluation follows a brief discussion on the evidence available regarding the emotions recorded and the relevance in Indigenous peoples and circumstances. A deeper understanding of the impact of cancer in the community will also be beneficial, in providing informal carers or family members with the appropriate support they need to concur their own stress and anxiety.
