Generic and cancer-specific numbers of persons of spouse\/partner; other family; close relatives, in detail; and friends were recorded as well as cancer-specific numbers of persons in acquaintances; others with cancer; work community; healthcare professionals; and religious, hobby, and civic participation.

The cancer was typically discussed with them, and often with acquaintances and other patients (74\u201386%). Only minor usually decreasing time trends were seen.
