A study with a qualitative approach aimed at knowing the perception of women in the diagnosis and treatment of uterine cervix cancer. Participated in the study12 women, attended at the cancer Hospital of the state Health Network of Maranhão, in São Luís. A questionnaire for the characterization of women was used for data collection and an interview script with guiding questions about women's understanding of the diagnosis and treatment of cervical cancer. The interviews were recorded and analyzed using the content analysis technique. Most of the women declared themselves mixed up, with 2 to 5 children, Catholic and home. As for the level of schooling, 3 were not literate, 3 had incomplete elementary school, most of them regular lyperformed preventive examinations. According to the women's reports, four thematic categories emerged: experiencing the diagnosis; Accepting treatment; Support Network; Prejudice and social isolation. It was possible to observe that women perceived the diagnosis of cancer as a death sentence, emerging feelings of sadness, anguish, which made it difficult to accept adherence to the proposed therapy that was seen as a new reality. The repercussions of the family were both positive and negative in accordance with the attitudes and behaviors experienced in the support network. Finally, a greater involvement of nursing is important in the propagation of information to break taboos, and prejudices, thereby strengthening the family bond and reducing the risks of women suffering prejudice and social isolation. In addition to holistic care, based on establishing a bond of trust, where the nurse must be available to hear the other, demonstrate empathy, human warmth and solidarity going beyond the technique.
