aAdjusted for age, race, SEP (education, income, number being supported by that income, assets, social status), number of cancer treatments, years since diagnosis, presence of lymphedema, and comorbid conditions
bHigher SF-12 t-scores correspond to more favorable health outcomes. Higher PSS-10 scores correspond to higher stress
