This study explores how women diagnosed with breast cancer or ductal carcinoma in situ experience rehabilitative virtual consultations with nurses and focuses on how virtual consultations influence bodily presence, body modalities, and relational interaction.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>An exploratory qualitative study was conducted using semi-structured telephone interviews with fourteen women who had participated in a nurse-led rehabilitative virtual consultation one year after treatment. Using Braun and Clarke's Reflexive Thematic Analysis, we analysed the data with particular attention to how digital mediation reconfigured embodied presence and relational care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Across the dataset, virtual consultations were experienced as altering body modalities and reducing embodied presence when bodily matters were addressed on-screen. Patients experienced vulnerability associated with the absence of physical co-presence and touch but also highlighted how the home environment created a sense of calm and safety.
