Emotional well-being plays a crucial role in the quality of life of oncology patients. This study aims to explore the dynamics of emotional states in oncology patients based on the stage of their disease, shedding light on the emotional challenges they face. Through a comprehensive analysis, significant variations in emotional states were observed among oncology patients at different stages of the disease. Patients in the early stages exhibited a mix of hope, anxiety, and uncertainty, while those in advanced stages experienced heightened levels of fear, sadness, and acceptance. Factors such as treatment intensity, prognosis, and social support were found to influence emotional responses in patients. The findings highlight the complex interplay of emotions experienced by oncology patients, emphasizing the need for tailored psychosocial support interventions based on disease stage. Understanding the emotional trajectories of patients can aid healthcare professionals in providing personalized care, improving patient outcomes, and enhancing the overall experience of those battling cancer.
