Remerciements
Je tiens à remercier mes superviseuses de projet Monica Parmar et
Kimberley Gartshore pour leurs conseils et encouragements constants.
J’adresse également mes remerciements à la professeure Margaret
Purden pour sa rétroaction constructive et son assistance. J’aimerais
également reconnaître l’appui sans faille des membres de ma famille,
de mes amis et condisciples. Mille mercis au Centre du cancer Segal et à
l’Hôpital général juif de m’avoir donné la possibilité de mener ce projet.
Enfin, je voudrais remercier chacune des femmes qui ont participé
à la présente étude en s’exprimant ouvertement sur leur vécu du
cancer du sein avancé et en mettant ainsi en lumière les défis uniques
confrontant cette population. Merci d’avoir partagé vos récits.
