Role of the Partner

---

 

If you had a chance to check the back cover of this book, you probably read that I am a husband of a woman who was diagnosed with breast cancer seventeen years ago, and is very much alive and healthy today. Some of the advice I offer in the next few pages is based on that personal experience. The memory of what I went through is as vivid today as it was back then.

As the partner of a woman with breast cancer, you're probably in as much pain and turmoil as she is. The coming days and months will be challenging. You'll have to deal with your own feelings, as well as give the woman you love the support she needs. A positive attitude will help both of you get through the ordeal.

If you can step outside the "cancer" mindset, you will see that this is an opportunity for you and the woman you love to have one of the most rewarding experiences in your life.
