With the aid of nurses, the questionnaires were filled out during the interview. Each question had an equal value and the QoL was quantified as the sum of the scores for all domains. The 30 items of QLQ-C30 are multidimensional, made up of 30 items. Functional scale and symptom scale were computed using t-test method. Results: Of the selected 48 patients, 9 patients were in the age group of 35–45 years, 10 patients were in the group of 45–55 years, 13 patients were in the age of group 55–65 years, 7 patients were in the age group of 65–75 years, and 9 patients were in the age group of 75–85 years. 0 patients are underweight, 6 patients were normal in their body mass index, 16 were overweight, and remaining 26 patients were obese. From the total of 48 patients with breast cancer interviewed using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer QoL Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ) C-30, it was found that symptoms scale was higher before chemotherapy and which became low after chemotherapy.
