The study focuses on the changes that breast cancer and chemotherapy brought to task fulfillment at home or at work in patients suffering from mammary neoplasm at a chemotherapy outpatient clinic of an oncological hospital in the city of Curitiba, in 2006. It objectified to understand the daily life of women suffering from mammary neoplasm, taking into account their working experience. The method applied was descriptive-quantitative, and the population studied was 22 patients.

The majority refers to difficulties to perform their professional activities, and the impossibility of keeping an adequate working journey due to the chemotherapy or to the functional constraint of their arms. It was evidenced that part of these women contributes for family’s breadwinning, their current disability and working constraints
