We aimed to assess the changes in social support and quality of life, and compare them before and after treatment. In addition to correlating these findings with the baseline characteristics of the disease. We used the 6 item MOSS questionnaire to assess social support and FACT-B validated Arabic form to assess quality of life.We found that social support improved significantly after treatment (with p value <0.001), while quality of life showed numerical deterioration. Education turned to be a main factor impacting social support and quality of life.
