| Abstract |
We explored how people negotiate, and respond to, identity transitions following a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Interviews with 19 people with pancreatic cancer were analysed using thematic discourse analysis. While discursively negotiating two transitions, 'moving from healthy to ill' and 'moving from active treatment to end-of-life care', participants positioned themselves as 'in control', 'optimistic' and managing their health and illness. In the absence of other discourses or models of life post-cancer, many people draw on the promise of survival. Moving away from 'survivorship' may assist people with advanced cancer to make sense of their lives in a short timeframe. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 10. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 30 June 2020.
All research outputs
#3,254,898
of 22,925,760 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Health Psychology
#383
of 2,088 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#61,389
of 354,438 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Health Psychology
#66
of 408 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,925,760 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 85th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,088 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 12.7. This one has done well, scoring higher than 81% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 354,438 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 408 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its contemporaries.
