• Patient 1:
o Nursing Diagnosis (to be included in the paper) =>
Fatigue related to overwhelming psychological and emotional demands

o Patient Scenario:
A 57-year-old man presented with crusted lesions on his
thorax that had developed over a period of 2 months. He had
occasional bloody discharge,
without pain, and did not have constitutional or other systemic symptoms. Multiple skin biopsies eventually confirmed the diagnosis of cutaneous
T-cell lymphoma. Computed tomography revealed no lymphadenopathy or metastases. No evidence of bone marrow involvement was found. The patient
received a course of photopheresis, with a good response. Three months later, he presented with ataxia. Imaging revealed infiltration involving
the pons and cerebellum, with new pleuropulmonary nodules. Lung-biopsy findings were consistent with recurrent low-grade T-cell lymphoma. The
patient received photopheresis therapy and then underwent autologous stem-cell transplantation. During his today’s visit, 10 months after
transplantation, he continued to have remission but continues to
receive photopheresis treatment.
• Patient 2:
