It is a qualitative research, with exploratory and descriptive approach, with the objective of knowing how patients in chemotherapy deal with the adverse effects of the treatment. The scenery of the research was the Oncology Unit of a hospital of the South area of Rio Grande do Sul. Five patients in chemotherapy treatment participated of the study. The collection of data happened in September of 2008, by open interview with a guideline question. The interviewees told that they presented adverse effects to the treatment, some in larger, other in smaller intensity. They mentioned that they possess superficial information about chemotherapy and their effects and they referred to use medication to soften them, and some of them referred to take medication without medical advice. They also detached the importance of faith and religiosity on the treatment.
