The aim of this paper is to analyse life satisfaction in women after mastectomy. Material and methods The pilot study comprised of women with breast cancer after mastectomy and women in a good overall health. Results On the basis of the conducted studies, it may be stated that women after mastectomy have a similar life satisfaction level as healthy individuals. The statistically relevant differences have been obtained only in some subscales related to leisure time, residence and parenting attitude.
