Coping with illness

A unique, must-have resource with medical information, practical tips, psychological insight, and coping strategies to help men help the women they love through the challenges of breast cancer

""With a wonderful blend of empathy, humor, and information, Breast Cancer Husband is a buddy and an on-call support group for men who love women with breast cancer.""-Hester Hill Schnipper, oncology social worker and author of After Breast Cancer

Featuring a foreword by medical oncologist Frederick P. Smith, M.D.

More than 300,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year in the United States. In 2001, Marc Silver's wife became one of these women when a routine mammogram revealed early-stage breast cancer. Marc's lackluster response to the news (""Ew, that doesn't sound good."") led to a realization- There was no book with the advice and information he so desperately needed as a frightened and helpless breast cancer husband. Naturally, he decided to write his own.

Through his years as an award-winning consumer journalist and veteran of the News You Can Use staff at U.S. News & World Report, Marc 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 that couples coping with breast cancer will have to face during diagnosis, treatment, and beyond, including-

. Shared experiences of other breast cancer husbands . Guidance from top doctors in the country . Advice on when, how, and what to tell your young children . Tips on coping with radiation and chemotherapy . Candid discussions of sex and intimacy following breast cancer surgery

With Breast Cancer Husband, Marc has created the emotionally supportive and useful resource he wished he had been able to consult-one that gives men the tools they need to help their wives, their families, and themselves through this scary and uncertain time.

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

From Library Journal. May 1, 2005 Husbands and partners are usually the odd men out in books on breast cancer. Silver, an editor at U.S. News & World Report , didn't know what to do when his wife was diagnosed. Finding no books specifically from his perspective, he decided to write one. Gleaning information from medical professionals and other men in his position, he created a helpful guide that covers all manner of providing support, even down to instructions for washing a woman's hair while she has drains in place. Silver's Husband is funny, tender, and rock-solid.<br>
