Now a day’s cancer is a quickly developing illness and in many cases. Psychological intervention is trying to help those individuals who confront the difficulty of this devastating chronic disease. People turned out to be low in self Efficacy and resilience towards this life -threatening illness. Negative contemplations against the regular life before the disease may also diminish their inwardly, physically and mentally life style. In such a situation psychological intervention is functioning as ambrosia to expanding Quality of Life (QOL) towards these patients. A new expectancy germinates in the life of the patient through intervention. It enhances the pessimistic person’s power of life, to expansion their QOL.
