Your Wife Has Cancer . . . Now What?: What to Expect When the Unexpected Happens

“A must-read for any husband” on providing strength and support during serious illness (Leigh Neumayer, MD, MS, Professor of Surgery, Huntsman Cancer Institute).

When your wife is diagnosed with cancer, there’s a lot of information to try to absorb, and you can get overwhelmed with pamphlets, books, and websites that discuss her specific medical situation. There are support groups and other organizations offering assistance. But where do you start, and how do you sort through it all? Written from the experienced perspective of someone who went through his wife’s cancer, this book provides a practical overview of what you, as husband and best friend, most need to know, and includes information on: • how to overcome the shock and fear of diagnosis • how to talk to your family • choosing the right doctors • where and how to give support • the transition of normal household duties and how to manage them • the real costs of cancer, both financial and emotional • how to continue and nurture your loving relationship with each other • how to manage your full-time job, and more
