Internet a good friend for breast cancer patients

<![CDATA[

There was a time when a woman diagnosed with breast cancer depended on her circle of friends, family and work colleagues for emotional support. Or she could join a support group. Getting medical information may have been limited to the hospital where she was treated.

With the rise of social networks such as Facebook and Twitter and online discussion groups, women with breast cancer now have access to much wider networks to find support and get answers to their questions. Blogging can help a woman share her experiences on the Internet and interact with people from other states, other countries or other cultures.

When a woman is newly diagnosed with breast cancer, she often seeks out online forums and discussion boards at cancer sites, like the Breast Cancer Site or Young Survival Coalition.

The Breast Cancer Site page on Facebook has almost 250,000 fans. The page posts links about fund-raising events around the world and breaking news on cancer research. The site itself has a section called Share Your Story, where women can share their experiences directly with others. The forum is for both survivors and supporters.
