[Changes in relationships with friends, husband and family after cancer diagnosis in women].
The proposal of this research was to identify changes occurred in relationships after cancer diagnosis in the women. As a theoretical-methodological strategy it was utilized respectively the Symbolic Interacionism and the Grounded Theory. Ten women bearers of cancer and one familiar joined the research. We identify that occurred changes in the relationships with friends, the closest relations consolidated even more and the superficial ones did not exist. With the spouses, some of the relationship became better and others, that were already hard, faced a lot of problems even the separation. With the family the relationships became stronger The research allows us to understand a particular context of the woman with cancer and re-think some care strategies starting from these relations.
