A qualitative survey questionnaire was conducted to collect data from 150 participants (Males= 87 and Females= 63) with age 40 and above years (M= 54.55, SD= 7.41). Fear of progression-SF (FoP-SF), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and Medication Adherence Rating Scale (MARS) were the scales used in the study. Descriptive and inferential statistics was used to get results. Findings showed positive relationship between fear of progression, perceived social support and medication adherence.
