Description

Scared. Shocked. Depressed. These words describe the more than one million women worldwide who are diagnosed with breast cancer every year. But they also apply to the husbands, fathers, sons, brothers, and friends to whom cancer sufferers turn for support. Stand by Her is written to help these men be the very best supporters they can be, combining solid practical advice with emotional guidance—based both on the author’s personal experience and his extensive research. Offering insight into medical, psychological, family, sexual, and financial issues, Stand by Her takes the reader through: • Interpreting and handling the initial diagnosis • Making preparations for treatment, from finding doctors and hospitals to organizing family members into an effective team • Advising her while recognizing that treatment decisions are hers and hers alone • Maintaining a sense of normalcy in everyday life • Preparing emotionally and practically when the prognosis is not good The book also provides an exhaustive section of print, online, and other resources for patients and caregivers. One day the war against breast cancer will be won. Until then, women need their men to help them fight. This landmark book will help any man overcome the fear and frustration of dealing with the disease, and arm him with the knowledge and resources he needs to Stand by Her.
