Participants will be randomized into two groups :
* group A) intervention: usual care + nurse teleconsultation for psychological support
* group B) control: usual care alone
Enrolment = Day0 (D0)
Participants will :
* groups A and B: D0: complete 4 questionnaires (Quality of Life, Screening for Distress, Screening for Anxiety and Depression, Social Support Questionnaire)
* Group A : D0+2/4 das : nursing teleconsultation for psychological support
* Groups A and B: D0+10days : telephone call to complete the same 4 questionnaires as at inclusion
* Group A : D0+15days: semi-directive interview, at home, for voluntary patients.
- Detailed Description

For the patient :
* Reduction in pre-treatment psychological distress
