Figure 1 Symptoms, problems, and (un)expressed needs per domain. The entire bar (all colours combined) are the reported symptoms, with the blue section being symptoms not perceived as a problem. The red sections are those symptoms that are experienced as problematic but the patient does not feel in need of help. The yellow parts are problematic symptoms in need of help, but patients did not actually seek help. The green part is the portion of patients with a problematic symptom in need of help that did seek help.

Figure 4 Comparison of symptoms, problems, and (un)expressed needs between groups. 1Comparison between groups is difficult due to small sample size (N = 23). Group 1 – recently finished treatment, no adjuvant chemotherapy. Group 2 – currently undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy. Group 3 – recently finished adjuvant chemotherapy. Group 4 – finished treatment more than 6 months ago. 1p = 0.89.

Figure 5 Number of symptoms, problems and (un)expressed needs after time.
