Popis: Objective: to examine the life trajectory of women with mastectomy members of a self-help group. Method: descriptive and exploratory study, with a qualitative approach, using the approach of the oral history of life as a methodological benchmark, meeting the operational phases. The participants were 20 women with mastectomy, whose narratives, considered discursive manifestations were submitted to the analysis of the collective subject discourse. Results: three thematic axes were elaborated, supported by their respective core ideas, each one was referent to before, during and after mastectomy: "to face life bravely" - "normal life", "separation", "change", "work" and "children"; "I have talked to God" - "prevention/care procedures", "diagnosis/treatment", "feelings/emotions" and "changes"; "reorganization with more objectivity and experience" - "creed", "change" and "feelings/emotions". Conclusion: it is recognized the need for studies into the mastectomy women to support public policies, or simply to enable health professionals to a humanized care.
