    Abstract
    This study highlights the overlooked relationship of patients' perception of care provided and its impact on their well-being alongside the gender role. A quantitative research method with purposive sampling on a sample of 60 cancer patients was used. The responses were collected through Psychological General Wellbeing Index and Manual Care Dependency Scale. Ethical procedures related to cancer patients were followed and informed consent was obtained by patients suffering from cancer. The analysis included correlation, regression, and t-Test. The results displayed the scales as reliable. Perceived care and well-being of cancer patients are found moderately related. Patients-perceived care quality explained 30% variance in psychological wellbeing. Gender differences in care perceived caregiving wellbeing were found. This study provides empirical evidence to address the complex link between care and the wellbeing of cancer patients while considering the gender of both patients and caregivers. Perceptions taken from patients suffering from cancer can be infused into the broader patient management plan.
