Frequency of kissing reported by partnered women diagnosed with breast cancer recurrence (R; n = 28). A matched sample of partnered women previously diagnosed with breast cancer who remained DF (n = 69) is provided. A timeline relevant for the R group is used. R - 3, R - 2, and R - 1 correspond to 18, 12, and 6 months before the recurrence diagnosis, with R, R + 1, R + 2, and R + 3 corresponding to the time of recurrence diagnosis and 4, 8, and 12 months after diagnosis. Equivalent disease-free follow-up time points for the DF are used.
