We performed a follow-up mail\/telephone-based survey 3\u20136\u00a0months (t2) after t1.

The proportion of distressed patients according to a DT score remained similar after 3\u00a0months. Forty-four percent of patients reported significant distress in OM and 33% in CM group. The most common problems among distressed patients were fatigue (t2 75%) and worries (t2 50%), followed by pain, sleep disturbances, sadness, and nervousness.
