Strong negative message of the type "You have been diagnosed with cancer" produces blustering reaction with specific phases in any individual. Elizabeth Kűbler-Ross was the first who described this reaction to cancer findings. However, her description hit the most distinctive marks only, while less noticeable signs did not occur in the original specification. The goal of this text is to familiarize a reader with complex spectrum of all possible patient reactions to the announcement of cancer as met in real life.

Keywords: cancer, psychical reaction to malignant disease.
