dc.description.abstractUsing a reflective lifeworld and feminist perspective, this study aims to provide a deeper understanding of the temporal existential experiences of women who are living with gynecological cancer. The study was conducted via qualitative interviews of 10 Portuguese cancer survivors, using a phenomenological-hermeneutical approach. A main metaphorical meaning ‘‘Outside looking in’’ was identified. This essential meaning had three constituents: personal experience, biographical disruption, and refiguring the lifeworld. Those who are in contact with survivors in both professional and natural helping venues should give attention to the temporal dimension of cancer survival in order to meet the survivor’s impressions and utterances.por
