What this could lead to: If successful, this program could provide a simple, accessible way to help cancer patients cope with the stress of waiting for scan results.
What could go wrong: This is a very early pilot study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program is self-guided, so some people may not find it helpful or engaging.
