They were mainly originated from areas in the countryside and urban poor areas in the State of Rio Grande do Norte. The non-governmental organization Grupo de Apoio ? Crian?a com C?ncer (GACC) was the privileged ethnographic location. In this setting, the mother, which was called acompanhante (companion), and the children, defined as pacientes (patients), were often sheltered in reason of therapeutic practices and the treatment undertaken by children in a nearby hospital. This study aims to focus on the therapeutic itinerary, beyond the children?s suffering, dealing with the family as a whole, since the moral values from these popular families imply the complete involvement of the family in relation to the illness and its treatment. Therefore, it is experienced as a family problem. We also intend to understand the construction of meanings to the illness, dealing with the ideological continuity in the relationships between the families and the GACC. These meanings were built in the intersection of these two spheres, which refer particularly to medical, religious and emotional explanations. Ethnographic methods were applied in this research at the entity and another social contexts, such as the family households. I also tried to retrieve the process of treatment outside the GACC, visiting the family context, when doing dense interviews or just having conversations with informants. It was found that the GACC, as a non-governmental organization, generates a negotiation of identities, which develops, then, through the family as a whole, but also through the child and especially the mother, affecting, in some way, their internal organization. Furthermore, the meanings of the experience of illness appeared to be shaped by the family sphere as well as by the logic of public health structures === Este trabalho aborda experi?ncias ligadas ao tratamento do c?ncer infantil vividas por crian?as, m?es e fam?lias das classes populares urbanas e do interior do Rio Grande do Norte, tendo como loca??o etnogr?fica o Grupo de Apoio ? Crian?a com C?ncer (GACC) do RN. No GACC, tanto a m?e, definida como acompanhante, como a crian?a, classificada como paciente, ficam abrigadas mais comumente em raz?o das pr?ticas terap?uticas e de tratamento pelas quais passam as crian?as. O objetivo desse estudo ? focar o itiner?rio terap?utico, para al?m da crian?a que sofre a enfermidade, na fam?lia como um todo, pois o universo moral do tipo de fam?lia em quest?o implica o envolvimento de todo o n?cleo parental no tratamento da mol?stia da crian?a, que ?, por isso, vivenciada como uma quest?o familiar. Pretendemos tamb?m entender a constru??o de sentidos para a doen?a, tratando das rela??es de continuidade ideol?gica entre as fam?lias e o GACC, pois eles constroem-se no entrecruzamento de ambas as esferas, que recorrem, cada uma de modo particular, ?s explica??es m?dicas, religiosas e emocionais. Foi aplicado o m?todo etnogr?fico na pesquisa feita na entidade e em outros contextos, tais como as resid?ncias familiares. Atrav?s de entrevistas densas e conversas com informantes, tamb?m tentamos resgatar o processo do tratamento fora do GACC, alcan?ando o contexto familiar. Constatou-se que a entidade gera uma negocia??o de identidades, que perpassa, ent?o, a fam?lia como um todo atrav?s da crian?a e, sobretudo, da m?e, afetando, de algum modo, a sua organiza??o interna. Al?m disso, os sentidos para a experi?ncia da enfermidade apareceram moldados tanto pela esfera familiar como pela l?gica das estruturas p?blicas de sa?de
