Otros trabajos reportan resultados similares donde dicen que se muestran agradecidos y con esperanza, disfrutando el día a día y minimizando las cosas negativas[22][23][24] . Además, dicen que la obtención de la información y el apoyo de diversos actores es de suma importancia para ellos, especialmente el apoyo de la familia y de los profesionales de la salud 13 .Cabe resaltar la importancia que tienen las redes sociales virtuales como fuente de información.…”
