Verbatim transcription was done and data were analyzed using content analysis procedures.FindingsParticipants believed God is the ultimate healer. They prayed and read the Bible. Some believed God could replace their breasts, they voided sinful acts and used religious artefacts such as the Rosary, special oil prepared by pastors, pictures of pastors. They obtained physical and emotional support from their families, partners and significant others. They compared themselves with others who had worse health challenges such as those with end-stage breast cancers who were on admission and those who have died. Participants also listened to music, read storybooks, took a walk in flower gardens to cope with breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.ConclusionsYoung women living with breast cancer rely more on God and support from their families, friends and the church in coping with their condition.
