Survivors reported a median support network size of 2.2 persons (interquartile range = 1.2–3.8) and a median support satisfaction score of 5.5 (interquartile range = 5–6). While support satisfaction was found to be associated with QOL, no association was found between support network size and QOL. Interview findings revealed that close family members and peer survivors constituted the major source of breast cancer survivors' support, especially in emotional and informational support aspects. Cultural factors played a role in the perception and utilization of support of the breast cancer survivors.
