Objective: to identify how the care of patients with advanced oncological disease is done from interpersonal relationships with family, friends and health professionals. Method: Qualitative research, of the case study type, having as reference of the study the post-critical theories, specifically the post-structuralist aspect of the field of Foucaulian Studies. Seven patients linked to a Home Care Service participated in the study. The production of information was from March to June 2018, and occurred with the use of therapeutic activities and participant observation. The information was transcribed and analyzed from the approximation of the statements with the code "self-care". Results: from the care of oneself established with family members, we observed that patients are encouraged to look back to themselves and recognize themselves from the support they receive. Friends offer spaces for speech, self-recognition and help in the care of patients. The health team directs the care of patients from prescriptive practices. Conclusions: It was possible to identify in the statements how much self-care can be incited by interpersonal relationships, reinforcing when the practice consists of double return, being present in the daily life of patients.
