A woman with breast cancer will survive longer if their marriage is unhappy or has a close relationship with friends and family. It was delivered by researchers from the United States.

As reported by the Daily Mail (09/11), researchers said that a strong bond with your partner, friend, mother, or sister is very important for women with breast cancer to fight the disease.

Conversely, do not have families and loved ones are supportive makes women with breast cancer die within three years after diagnosis.

The researchers believe the emotional support to help her through tough times. For example, by way of offering assistance led to the hospital or simply cooking food does increase the chance of extending the patient's age.

In addition, the researchers did not mention the number of supportive family and friends who must have women with breast cancer. The most important thing is the quality of the relationship.

"Through research, we found a woman who has a low social relations with other people are more at risk to die from breast cancer," said lead researcher Dr. Candyce Kroenke of Kaiser Permanente in California.

The risk of women dying from breast cancer if you do not have a supportive family support is quite high, amounting to 61 percent.

Researchers then suggested that women with breast cancer improve the quality of their relationships with family and friends. It was considered more useful than expanding the number of acquaintances.
