É considerado sobrevivente de câncer o paciente com história de convivência com neoplasia, do diagnóstico da mesma até o fim de sua vida, não incluindo somente aqueles que se submeteram à realização de tratamentos oncológicos e sobreviveram. A vida após o câncer se converte numa experiência disruptiva que demanda resiliência do indivíduo, no sentido de transformar a experiência ameaçadora à integridade da vida em uma fonte de sentido. Este relato descreve a vivência de uma idosa sobrevivente enfrentando complicação do tratamento oncológico em internamento hospitalar, no qual apresentou experiência anômala. A relação da paciente descrita no relato com seu deus foi a característica preponderante de sua experiência, sendo este deus bondoso e misericordioso, uma fonte de amparo e segurança. Estudos recentes reforçam a importância da vinculação positiva com a divindade nesse contexto, demonstrando que tais relações são catalisadoras de paz, calma e esperança nesses pacientes. Evidências do impacto da espiritualidade na saúde de forma global e instrumentos para sua avaliação junto ao paciente têm sido descritos e merecem maiores investigações. Este trabalho objetivou apresentar uma temática complexa e de difícil inserção acadêmica, discutindo a dimensão espiritual do indivíduo como constituinte de suas vivências e chamando a atenção do setor saúde, com vistas ao cuidado integral do ser humano.
