Data were collected by three methods, namely, observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out by interactive analysis. The results of the study revealed 5 themes, namely: 1) family support, 2) sexual activity, 3) personal hygiene, 4) social relationships, and 5) the treatment process. Family support is the main factor that makes patients excited about undergoing treatment, while undergoing cancer services, patients continue to have sexual relations with their husbands, but the frequency is reduced from before undergoing treatment, in general, cervical cancer sufferers do not lack hygiene, cancer sufferers Cervical sufferers experience low self-esteem related to the disease they are suffering from, when they were first diagnosed with cervical cancer, the patient did not accept it, felt hopeless, and feared death.
