title: [Breast cancer and body image].
abstract: The treatment of breast cancer generates changes to the body and a person's self-image. The caregivers' support focuses on the woman's grief for her old body and the acceptance of a changed intimacy. Listening to each woman is essential for acknowledging her fears in the face of this mutated body, her desires and her questions, in order to favour the psychological healing.
