RESUMO
Este estudo exploratório teve como objetivo principal verificar a percepção de mulheres mastectomizadas quanto à notícia do diagnóstico e da mastectomia, rede de apoio social e experiências positivas durante o tratamento do câncer de mama. Participaram do estudo seis mulheres que já foram submetidas à mastectomia, com idade entre 46 e 77 anos. O instrumento utilizado foi a entrevista semi-estruturada. Os resultados indicaram que maior parte das respostas das entrevistadas estavam focadas em detalhes da fala do médico, e na postura ativa frente à notícia. Também foi observado que as vivências positivas frente à doença estiveram ligadas principalmente às mudanças de valores e atitudes, e que a principal rede de apoio relatada foi a família em geral e o cônjuge.
