Abstract

Adolescents cured of cancer can see their vital projection altered by the consequences of the disease, since the social sequelae, little studied, have an important role in their academic and relational trajectories. The research note tries to contribute to the analysis of educational contexts and their effects on the subjective construction of adolescents through the experience of the difference in the different dimensions affected by having been diagnosed and treated for childhood cancer, considering the educational, family or leisure environment. Of special interest is the impact of the diagnosis and the parenthesis of treatment (one year in bone tumors) on social interaction and the recovery of a normalized social life.
