Facebook support

Today in class when we were talking about how people find social networking as a sense of support really hit home to me. I was diagnosed with cancer in 2010 and when people starting finding out about my diagnosis, the support started pouring in. It was comforting to know that I had so many people that cared about me. I not only got support from my Facebook friends but I also was introduced to information about my disease. It went as far as the community getting together and making a Facebook event to help raise money for my treatment. It helped me in great ways to know how much support I had in the Facebook community.
