Data collection was carried out through semi-structured interviews involving three participants. The data is then subjected to domain analysis.Results: In this research, 2 themes were found, namely, knowing the support provided by the family and knowing the impact felt by the patient when receiving family support.Conclusion: Family support is very important for cervical cancer patients undergoing the treatment process, because it will have an impact that will be felt by the patient later. The impact is felt like the patient feels cared for, given appreciation, loved and feels owned by his family. so that the patient has the motivation to recover and has confidence in worrying about the disease they are suffering from.
