RESUMO

The purpose of this thesis was to conduct a research on experiences of women with breast cancer at the Hospital of Base of the Federal District (HBDF), in Brasilia, Brazil. Using the theoretical framework of the illness experience and founded on the concept of biographical disruption Michael Bury, we seek to understand the ways they experience the illness, combined with the personal and professional choices and their social strategies. To this end, we assume that these experiences are expressed in many areas of social life, reflect and are a reflection of their beliefs, customs and values, as well as their social and family relationships. In summary, our main issue is such as women with breast cancer were able to articulate their condition of sickness with their professional activities, religious and social, with their everyday lives and families. This research is composed in three moments. At first, the observation in the waiting room at HBDF seeking to understand the spaces covered by these women in the hospital in search for confirmation of the disease, treatment and surgery, as they relate to health professionals and with other women also part of this universe. A second, conducting a focused interview, semi-structured, with women with breast cancer. Finally, in a third time, on the theory of Michael Bury, we outline the strategies these women facing the biographical disruption, keeping the focus on their experiences with the illness. The methodology was that of social research within a qualitative perspective and with the reference of the sociology of health. With this work, we hope to contribute to the understanding of breast cancer, especially in the perspective of women who have no health insurance and depend solely on the Health System, SUS
