The period of the remission is a crucial phase of transition for the sick person and imposes itself as the time of a real psychic work. From a clinical observation, we propose to identify the connections to the painful experience with the process of identity changes, the reappropriation of the body and the integration of the event disease. From a psychotherapeutic point of view emerges the necessity of an implementation of an analogical, metaphorical language to approach the subjective experience of the pain and to question the relational meaning of the painful experience of the patient in the post-cancer.
