Additional Breast Cancer Husband: How to Help Your Wife (and Yourself) during Diagnosis, Treatment and Beyond Information

A unique guide, like none other on the market-packed with medical information, practical tips, psychological insight, and coping strategies-to help men help the women they love through this trying time.

When Marc Silver became a breast cancer husband three years ago, he learned firsthand how frightened and helpless the breast cancer husband feels. He searched in vain for a book that would give him the information and advice he so desperately sought. Now this award-winning journalist has compiled just the kind of emotionally supportive and useful resource that he wished he had been able to consult-to give men the tools they need to help their wives, their families, and themselves through this scary, uncertain time.

In his years as a consumer journalist and veteran of the News You Can Use staff at U.S. News & World Report, Marc Silver learned what kind of information and advice on medical crises readers found most valuable. He draws on that experience as he covers in depth all the issues couples coping with breast cancer will have to face during diagnosis, treatment, and beyond. Highlights include:
- The shared experiences of other breast cancer husbands
- Guidance from top cancer doctors in the country
- Advice on when, how, and what to tell your young children
- Tips on coping with radiation and chemotherapy
- A candid discussion of sex and intimacy following breast cancer surgery

More than 200,000 women are diagnosed with cancer each year in the United States. At last, with this book, the men who love them have a road map to help them through a difficult and unprecedented journey.

Once it arrived he read it cover to cover. He often refers to the book as we are traveling down this road of breast cancer together.

He is not a Book guy either, he is definitely a man's man, a boys basketball coach and an espn lover. It is definitly a must buy.

I purchased this book for my husband when I was ordering myself some books. It has both humor and honesty.

MUST PURCHASE FOR YOUR GUY. Not knowing if he would like it or not.

He says it is definitely for the husband.

This book helped him get ready and know what to do, as well as what "Not" to say. He was a wonderful caretaker. We give it to other couples that have been diagnosed. My husband is not a book reader, but he read this book cover to cover. It scared him, but let him know what to expect.

Boy, am I glad I did. It covers the husband's role in every stage of the process, from diagnosis through treatment. My wife was diagnosed with breast cancer in early September 2008. It is filled with helpful facts and figures, but beyond that, it is filled with meaning accounts of husbands and health care professionals that has helped me to be a better husband, care giver and support to my wife as she goes though this most difficult time in her's and our lives. This book is money well spent. A book was recommended for her to read (Just Get Me Through This.: The Practical Guide to Breast Cancer)which we found on Amazon. While on Amazon, I found this book for husbands, read the reviews and decided to buy it.

Thank you for taking the time to put yours and many other husbands feeling on paper.Enjoyed the book very much, I feel that both men and women can learn much from this book.Stepahed The way in which the author explained things helped me to understand the my husband better and what he must be feeling. I think I enjoyed this book the most out of all of the books I've read in the last few month of facing breast cancer. Being able to read it from a man's point of view was very uplifting and encouraging.
