This paper pursues an objective to better know and understand the relationship that exists between individuals afflicted with an incurable cancer and the medications offered as treatment. A qualitative research guideline based on the relevant literature has been selected. An analysis of an ensemble of personal narratives suggests that the relationship developed by the patients interviewed with the medication treatments is marked by a discourse of battle. Throughout the illness, patients adopt two different positions with respect to medications. To conclude, questions are raised with respect to the structure of the intervention services offered.
