With the extensive physical and psychological effects of BCRL, few studies have focused on the lived experience. The purpose of this study was to examine the lived experience of Hispanic women dealing with BCRL, particularly women of Mexican descent or origin. Method: Using interpretive phenomenology, 13 Hispanic women with BCRL, 42 to 80 years, were individually interviewed. Data analysis was conducted using interpretive reading of field notes, journal entries, and transcribed interviews. Results: Three central themes emerged from the findings, \u201csense of loss,\u201d \u201cresignation to the new self,\u201d and \u201cnot knowing.\u201d Further subthemes highlight the physical, psychological, and spiritual aspects of living with BCRL. Discussion: Cultural awareness of the impact BCRL has on activities of daily living of Hispanic women should be part of a holistic plan of nursing care when caring for this population.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1043659619891236","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,3]],"date-time":"2019-12-03T02:27:52Z","timestamp":1575340072000},"page":"41-49","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Breast Cancer\u2013Related Lymphedema in Hispanic Women: A Phenomenological Study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"32","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9015-2723","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juanita C.","family":"Acebedo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, Harlingen, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Barbara K.","family":"Haas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Texas at Tyler, Tyler, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Melinda","family":"Hermanns","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Texas at Tyler, Tyler, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1043659619891236","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/pon.4021"},{"key":"bibr2-1043659619891236","unstructured":"American Cancer Society.
