Digital support program for feelings of hopelessness in advanced cancer
This study tests a digital (phone-based) psychological program to help people with advanced cancer who feel demoralized—like losing hope or feeling overwhelmed. If you're getting chemotherapy and struggle with these feelings, this program might give you extra support.
