A dose examination of supportive transactions during diagnosis and treatment for cancer reveals a pattern of relations that help to determine how and when the social support network will be activated. A number of contingencies are taken into account by network members in crisis: the history of past relationships, personal coping abilities, and the perceived state of the overall network. These three contingencies interact to provide a context by which subjects make decisions regarding the nature of subsequent social support transactions.
