Independent t test was used to compare means in two categories while ANOVA to compare mean in more than two categories like treatment. \u0000 Result: Out of 136 cervical cancer survivors 80% were from hilly region, 75% were diagnosed in late stage of disease and average age was 50 years. Total mean FACT-Cx score was 61.1±14.8, with lowest score in physical wellbeing (8.4±5.5) and highest in social and family wellbeing (18.5±6.2); and 94.8% of the patients had sexual dysfunction. \u0000Conclusion: This study indicated that the quality of life and sexual function were very low among cervical cancer survivors.
