Cancer survival affects online support

I thought this was interesting because it shows that cancer support groups statistically improve cancer patient’s health compared to those who do not take advantage of these social support groups. Here is the link:

  1. I know that when people bond together and have a good support system it is a lot easier to succeed. So i really liked this article and i think it is a good thing to do with many different public health issues.

  2. I think that it is very important that everyone that is diagnosed with a disease of this magnitude receives some support. The great thing about this article is that not only are people getting support but support from individuals that have a similar life style due to the disease or problem they are going through.
