Abstract

Fear of recurrence (FoR) has been well documented among cancer survivors, yet there have been few publications on strategies for coping with FoR. This report describes three coping strategies tailored to the management of FoR and the delivery of these coping strategies through FoRtitude, a targeted eHealth intervention deigned to teach breast cancer survivors coping strategies targeted to FoR using a web- and text messaging-based approach.
